It's All About the People…read more I had a chance to visit Adams during the holiday break. Many of the employees volunteer their time to make Christmas extra special for the children. I was lucky enough to be Santa's helper. He came in on a firetruck and greeted all of the kids, much to their delight. Then, the kiddos had a chance to sit on Kris Kringle's lap. They got to tell ole Saint Nicholas what they wanted for Christmas while I took pictures. Thanks to the wonderful volunteer effort, parents got to have the pictures with Santa processed and printed before leaving. It was really a special time. Thank you to all of the Adams 12 employees who volunteer each year and bring smiles to little faces.

As a former employee I would not recommend this place and I'm writing this so other people think…read moreabout it before applying here. I was a ecta (Early Childhood Assistant) at Thornton and bright horizons (inside horizon high school) The staff act basically like teenagers, they lack of professionalism, hard to get in contact with coordinators to express concerns. They don't care about you, they just care about having people working and doing their job but not about how you feel or how the work environment is. I just quit last Friday, the classroom I was in had 18 kids some with special needs and bad behavioral issues. The teacher over there didn't want to take advise from anyone and just wanted to do her way and the classroom was a completely disaster it was impossible to do activities with them or circle time. Last year they had 4 classrooms open and they decided to close two, so they had the bright idea of put all 18 kids in each classroom and not enough staff. They only have 3 ects, no site director a bunch of subs and the "specialist" just stare at you and watch you struggle with the kids and just take notes and leave the room. The coordinators knew what was happening and did nothing about it, they kept enrolling kids knowing they didn't had enough staff to cover. It was a truly safety concern being in that classroom, kids had really bad behavior issues, I think if we didn't had a lot of kids or at lest enough help I wouldn't had left but since the coordinator didn't care at all I had to put myself first at left. When I let her know I was not coming back and they saw how bad it was they finally decided to do something about it. I'm just thankful nothing bad happened when I was there because I don't think those parents would have believed me if I tell them how bad that classroom was. If you are thinking about applying at this district specially preschoool just know coordinators and teachers love to gossip around, are not professional, are selfish and don't care about staff and the people that are there trying to help.

great school horrible teacher!…read more Today I caught wind of a teacher favoriting a more 'popular' student over something more serious then out in this teachers mind!!!! This teacher Mr Young today had favored one of his former students clearly to DUMB to comprehend the fact that brushing a issue aside caused a poor girl a panic attack! Luckily her friends were there to calm her down but clearly this teacher Mr Young could not care even less to take care of the girl! Today the girl was injured by a ball while playing kickball which later a kid heard another one talking bad about the girl... So as most would do the girl walked over to Mr Young to tell him what had happened and instead of him asking what happened the boy had happened to be near by saying he had asked if she was alright and that took the teachers mind and got him to looking at the girl mind you this school is absolutely against bullying so I was quite amazed to hear that Mr Young goes "are you tattling??? Keep on playing" which already this school had mentioned it was a very safe place which no one should be scared to tell the teacher and being a tattle tale so I was very disappointed to hear the word "tattle tale" come from a teachers mouth out of all!! A teacher would be the least of someone I would expect to call a kid a tattle tale!!! I am super disgusted with this school and parents be aware of Mr Young because if your child gets this teacher I would suggest you pull your kid out of this class because this man has no empathy (something this school mentions in the 'lark pride' quote) Mr Young if you read this I'd suggest you start taking others side or else things might not end up well for your job and reputation!!! Parents share this message so no more students have to suffer!

We can easily reach them by email, phone, or text whenever we have questions or concerns. More often than not, we receive a response the same day, and if not, by the next day.

The dedication, care, and commitment shown by the staff make a real difference. We highly recommend this school to any family looking for a supportive and caring learning environment.

They get up excited to go to school which says much for the teachers and staff. Stuckey has the usual grade school stuff-big yard, playground equipment, etc. and any time I have come to pick kids up after school there is always someone out front ready to pounce on tiny miscreants, aleways reminding the kids to cross at the cross walk. I feel good that someone is keeping an eye on the kids. I realize other schools do thisI want to remark on how appreciated their vigilance is...and how good we feel about this grade school.

They called me a few weeks ago also at 9pm, which I thought was insane, but I let it slide since I wasn't fully asleep yet. If they don't have enough brain power to know that that would be a huge stupid move, do you really think they are going to be smart enough to teach your children? Sleep is the best thing for children's minds, how great will that mind be if their insane employees are waking them up in the middle of the night. Public school would be better than this, I have never once gotten a middle of the night phone call for any reason from a public school!
