    THIS PLACE NEED TO BE SHUT DOWN. I am working with many authorities to get this handled. I had just pulled my 2 year old son out two days ago IMMEDIATELY after I was told he got into a "fight" with a child. The bruise from the picture I was sent by the school was very different than seeing him when I picked him up - he was covered in bruises on both arms from his shoulders down to his elbows. It happened between 8:30-9:30am and was reported to me at 1:00pm. 4 HOURS LATER. THEY BLAMED IT ON A CHILD. Do NOT trust these teachers. Do NOT trust the administrators. Do NOT trust this school. The school director also was aware of this specific teacher (she knows her name but I won't say for legal reasons) and swept it under the rug from what I heard from other parents. My son was neglected and abused. Another teacher told me what happened and how she had seen this teacher do this to OTHER children. My son has BRUISES. I am filing a report and going to get this place FULLY investigated. DO NOT BRING YOUR KIDS HERE

    Continued: We walked out of the room, my husband is a quiet guy especially when he's upset he put my son down in the hallway as we went to retrieve our other children to see how he walked. Our child was extremely hurt. I became extremely upset. Not upset that he had become hurt because as I said before things happen I was upset that once again the teacher failed to report my son was hurt failed to communicate with us that he was hurt once again. Allowed him to say at school ALL DAY again in pain without contacting us. Madeline failed to follow protocol, she didn't report to the office my son was hurt, she didn't fill out a incident report NOTHING. She used poor judgment assuming my child was "faking" . I walked back into her classroom a demanded a incident report she filled it out stating " running and fell down " nothing more nothing less. No details of his injury no details of the incident. She walked the paper to the office where Pamala could care less about my child shrugging her shoulders as she knew this had just occurred last month claiming the teacher never reported to the office he was hurt so she could not call home. After me having some choice words with Ms Maddy ( abuser) we left and took my son to the emergency room. Just so happens we ended up seeing the same doctor we seen the month prior. After examining. My son we found a large ligature mark on the back of his leg raw as if something or someone restrained him with an object. The doctor stated " the schools incident reports are so vague they are not being honest as to what is taking place with the baby you all need to remove all of the children and file a report with the authorities". My husband became enraged. The incident happened on a Friday we got out of the hospital at 6pm we could not call the police until Monday. I would have had her arrested the same day if I could have. On Monday we went to the school to collect our children's things. They hired a new front office lady name Amber this lady wouldn't know the truth if it slapped the Sh!t out of her. I came in peace until she started following be around on her phone with her to big pants and shirt she had on that looked as if it was fresh out of the trash can she's not presentable are professional enough to be in the front office. I recorded from the time I walked in as she tried to lie and say I was walking up and down the hallway screaming. We withdrew our children picked up their extra clothes and I phoned the police as I wanted Maddy arrested for her actions. Since the incident happened Friday I was told to go to the police station and press charges on her. We waited a while for Carrie she never showed. We left I filed charges on Maddy, Brandi and Pamala for child abuse child endangerment and child neglect. They all showed poor judgment negligence and neglect when my child was hurt in their care Mrs. Belinda was on vacation unfortunately. My husband stated that all the staff showed disrespect and disregard when we returned for the item he stated that Pamala and Maria are not who they appear to be. I agree about Pamala as I have a co- worker that is to work with her (Ms. NI NI ) who told me about her racist comments pertaining to "a parent of color " I would have NEVER allowed my children to attend this school had I known this and that Amber is RIDICULOUS They keep getting my pictures and videos erased I will continue to put them back up keep it up I'll be outside the center with blow up pictures protesters and the news

    Love it at Creative Kids and she was amazing when giving the tour of the facility..

I saw a one-star review, which made me feel shocked. As a responsible adult, I find your assessment unfair. A child's study cannot be entirely dependent on school. As a new immigrant, I am still studying in college and preparing to apply for graduate school. The improvement of children needs the cooperation of parents and schools. If you expect to spend a little money to let the child improve in all aspects, then I believe that all the children in the world are excellent. This is obviously not practical. This school deserves your trust. Especially Jessie, the Chinese teacher, has 20 years of Chinese teaching experience and is highly recommended. 我的孩子在这所学校已经三年了,语文的进步是有目共睹的。尤其是英语和数学,自从开始排在倒数第二之后,就一直在公立学校的班级里名列前茅。看到了一颗星的评论,让我觉得很震撼。作为一个负责任的成年人,我觉得你的评价有失公允。孩子的学习不能完全依赖学校。作为一个新移民,现在还在读大学,准备申请研究生。孩子的提高需要家长和学校的配合。如果你期望花一点小钱就能让孩子各方面都有所提高,那么我相信天下所有的孩子都是优秀的。这显然是不实际的。这所学校值得你的信任。特别是中文老师Jessie,有20年的中文教学经验,值得大力推荐。 说几句题外话: 还是那句话、你自己不行、就别老埋怨路不平,路不平、还是你人不行。自己都没办法通俗流利的进行英语演讲和对话、不能写一篇符合标准的英语论文、然后把孩子的教育问题归结于补课学校、总寄希望于你的孩子将来如何优秀、那你移民美国的目的和初衷又是什么呢?真的是自己飞不起来、还逼孩子"笨鸟先飞"。

    I cannot say enough great things about Sport Social! As a mom to a child on the Autism spectrum,…read morethe large number of therapy and services recommended from the start of our journey years ago was overwhelming. My kiddo has had ABA therapy at multiple places, which worked out for a while, but then therapists kept quitting and back on the waitlist we go. It turned into a never-ending cycle and I was worried my child would be grown-up before we found another place. My son has been having ABA services at Sport Social for years now, and out of all the therapy he has had, they have made the most difference for my child. You see, they use sports, art, music, scooters, rock-climbing, games, social skills and more activities kiddos enjoy from the start. ABA principles are used in a fun and engaging atmosphere that goes beyond traditional therapy. Skills like resilience, regulation, and focus are used in a large facility with a basketball court, rock-wall, bounce house, music room, skatepark and more. They also focus on frindships and happiness which is also important. Thank you to Andrew for having such an amazing place, with the coolest people, where everyone feels included. It's so nice to meet other parents that are going through the same things too. My family is so grateful to Natalie, Cody, Jared, Uriah, Maria, Devon, Dawson, Brian and everyone who has made an impact on my son's life. If you find yourself in the same place as I have been, please consider Sport Social! - Love Collin and family :)

The good: they have a small party room for birthdays that you can set up and order food and goodie bags. The pizzas are huge. We had 5 kids and 3 adults and we were only able to finish one pizza. The bathrooms were well maintained and like I said they work diligently to keep the facility clean The staff wasn't mean or overly friendly more nonchalant but very knowledgeable and answered questions promptly so they knew their jobs and met expectations. There are also about 9 four too tables through the facility so there are places to sit. The bad: very few arcade choices. Games take tokens recommended to bring cash but there is an atm available (charges about 3.99 + whatever your bank charges on top of that) 20.00 gets you about 96 tokens most of the games cost 4 tokens to play. Some of the game machines don't work. But if the machines take your coins the will help assist. They have a reward cash out in the front for the tickets that you earn from game play. Some of the games that do pay out pay out a decent amount of tickets prizes are fair. They offer bottled drinks like water, Celsius, sport drink (Gatorade/Powerade) and cold coffee(think bottled Starbucks drinks). They do have a fountain machine (however the knight we went the soda machine was broken and leaking) They do allow you to bring in cake but ask first. The laser tag games are spread out like approximately 20 minute intervals. The kids had a blast though they said inside the laser tag looked like a haunted library. Two teams go and all the kids play against each other. Overall I gave it 3 because of the games being more outdated and certain things not working but the rating would have been a 5 due to the amount of fun the kids had

The Teachers and Staff members are so welcoming and genuinely care about each and every child that walks through the front door. My son is in the Pre-K class with Ms. Faith. And let me tell you, she is such a wonderful teacher who always goes ABOVE and BEYOND for the students in her class. Not only is my son learning Spanish and sign-language in her class, but he is now reading better than my 6yo who attends 1st grade at a CCSD elementary school. A year ago, my son was struggling with his speech, expressing himself, and was socially awkward. Not anymore. Thanks to his teacher, he is very self-expressive and has so many friends throughout the facility! Ms. Faith finds fun and cool ways to incorporate STEM learning into their everyday curriculum. She also ensures to teach and celebrate a wide range of cultures and holidays such as Black History Month, Hispanic Heritage Month, and Lunar New Year! The classroom is filled with a diverse group of children so it is important to her that she does something special every month to celebrate them! My 6yo attends the facility on days that CCSD schools are out (holidays, spring/summer breaks). She has grown close with other children there and when I pick her up at the end of the day, she tells me she had an "Awesome day!" The summer break camp for the older kids is great because they have field trips planned out every week. The front desk staff are by far the best group of people, who are always willing to assist families if needed. More specifically, Ms. Kelsey and Ms. Kristen have truly been very helpful and supportive! The quality of care at CLA is top notch. Thank you CLA for everything you've done for my family!

My daughter started at Brilliant Mont in preschool and grew beautifully through the years, wrapped in care, encouragement, and excellence. Every teacher she had played a role in shaping her, but it was Ms. Melissa in kindergarten who truly left a mark. The bond they built was so special. She showed up during a season when life wasn't easy. Her love and patience got us through a difficult time--we're forever grateful. She didn't just teach my daughter; she covered her in peace and gave her joy when things were uncertain. That's a gift you can't put a price on. From the ladies at the front desk to Mr. Alex at security--everyone at Brilliant Mont treats you like family. And I don't say that lightly. The love is real, the community is strong, and the environment is anointed. You feel safe, seen, and supported from day one. We're heartbroken to go, but so thankful to have been part of this amazing community. If you're considering a place where your child can grow not just academically but emotionally and spiritually too--this is the one. Brilliant Mont isn't just a school--it's a village. And for us, it'll always feel like home.
