They are not following through on policies such as biting and when a parent complains they become silent and standoffish not only to the parent but to the young child. They are releasing with no notice and not allowing them to say goodbye to students they have made connections with. We loved it here at first but it went downhill quick especially when the little was getting bit every day. The little one still, after a couple months, remembers all the names of the children that bit them. This is sad. I know you can do better. It's become just a business not a caring family focused school.

I do not recommend this preschool. The Friends Academy used to be a thriving, fantastic preschool,…read morewith its previous director. However, since taking over in early 2023, the preschool's quality has plummeted under the new director's leadership. The teachers seem to be trying, but they are constantly overwhelmed due to bad staffing decisions. The director lacks experience and customer service. Her communication was severely lacking, with ignored emails and messages, and a disregard for important issues such as developmentally appropriate lessons and practices for children. Teacher turnover is high, resulting in a very obvious decline in teacher quality and inconsistent care for the children. My then two-year old daughter had FIVE lead teachers between February-December 2023. In one instance, I advised the director that my daughter had a milk allergy and should not have been offered milk and she directly accused me of failing to notify the school. I directed her to review my daughter's files which did indeed contain the required form signed by her pediatrician regarding the allergy. Furthermore, hygiene standards are questionable, with instances of unclean practices directly observed by me as a parent. I personally witnessed the director's daughter, who was the lead teacher at the time, pass out lunches without washing her hands and began the lunch session without washing the hands of the children in the two-year-old classroom. I brought this to her attention and the director, and I was asked to "have some grace." In other instances where I presented my concerns to the director, she would often indirectly blame these concerns on the practices that were put in place by the last director as if she did not have the power to make improvements. There was just no accountability on her end. Additionally, the staff reliance on television for managing children is excessive. Children need to run around and play and use their imagination. They should not be offered overly stimulating movies or videos on teacher cell phones or tablets, or in the classrooms. I was often told that the children were offered short "learning videos" which were optional to watch. That was not the case. The children were often placed in front of the TV, and forced to sit in place. Despite concerns raised, accountability remained absent, making it clear that change is unlikely under the current leadership. I did my best to offer suggestions and resources, and I personally volunteered often. I met with the church pastor several times. He is a truly kind, genuine person; a great human being. Unfortunately, while we both wanted to see the same improvements, they simply did not happen. I withdrew my children in January of 2024. Since then, they have been THRIVING in a responsibly run preschool center. I am actually paying less in weekly tuition at another center that offers more veteran teachers, better teacher to student ratios, developmentally appropriate curriculums, and more extracurricular activities. I do not recommend this preschool and regret that I waited so long before removing my children. I hope this review spares another family from the issues that I experienced

Rude and unprofessional director and owners. During my daughter's first week there, I was called…read moreand asked to pick up my daughter on a Wednesday from the school for behavior issues (for the first time). I was told if it continued, she would no longer be able to return. Upon pickup each day, her teachers Miss Raven and Mr Leo would smile and say her day was fine, but then I receive a completely different report from the director and front desk staff. The director was out sick the next day, Thursday, so my daughter went to school as normal, and picked up as normal. The next morning, Friday, when the director returned, it was like a meeting had already happened in which my daughter was asked to leave the school, because she already had her speech ready. Additionally, director Elaine *refused* to read my email that I had written to her, even after asking her to read it prior to our conversation. She told me she had "better things to do than to sit and read her emails first thing in the morning when she was out sick". The attitude of herself was very poor as she continued to raise her voice at me and then told me, "I don't think you or your daughter are a good fit here" before she had even discussed anything with the owner. It is obvious they are in over their heads when it comes to kids with short attention spans and strong willed personalities, as they enrolled and un enrolled my daughter within 4 weeks, attempting to label her as a difficult child without providing her with behavioral supports, accommodations, and calm down breaks. I am sad to know that this location would prefer to get rid of a child who needs extra support rather than work toward meeting them where they're at. Don't enroll your child here if they don't fit within the cookie cutter mold!

Ms Hunsha is an extraordinary teacher with an obvious passion for inspiring young minds. My child…read moreis currently in her 1/2 day VPK class and it feels like she is taking a world learnings course daily. Ms. Hunsha has introduced so many cultures and ways of the world to every single student, which will surely benefit them as they continue their development. She is helping to cultivate acceptance, inclusion and positivity amongst the entire class. My husband and I also love the way that she nurtures each child and meets them where they are individually. Our soon to be 5 year old loves science and quite often gets to engage in fun and educational science experiments, tapping into an area of learning girls can sometimes be excluded from. Our daughter was already reading when she started VPK but, together, with Ms Hunsha we have see her reading level increase to that of a second grader. And to further reinforce what she is learning, Ms. Hunsha has her read to her classmates. That action alone is building confidence, how to present in front of others and a host of other important and necessary skills for a well rounded child and adult. Ms Hunsha creates an environment that is welcoming, enjoyable, curious and safe for students. She commands respect with a loving hand and they all absolutely adore her. I could go on and on about how wonderful we think she is and how much of a blessing she has been. Thank you Ms. Hunsha! Our family will forever be grateful to you and for the exciting world of learning that you have opened up for our baby!
