I was coming to this page to give a review on Little Mouse due to how incredibly blessed I feel to…read morehave been able to bring my daughter here, but after seeing what I saw on this page, I am not one that can just ignore it as I feel such high respect for the director and staff for the amazing job they do and care they have for our children. I am so pleased with the professional and amazing treatment Tina shows in this school. I saw the review before mine and as a mom of a preschooler there, I can stand behind the tough choice she had to make as a director because I am 100% confident that any choice like that is one that had great effort and thought before making such a tough decision. Yes, children can get testy, but I know the staff speaks daily to parents as to what kind of day our children had and bring up any concerns they may have and I also know that a child would never just get released. When these young children are to a point where it is placing other children, or even staff, at ongoing risk,( which would play a large part for a release), difficult choices have to be made, regardless if it were verbal or physical. I am grateful to know that these teachers care so much and I know that the choices that are made are done because of the care they have. On another note, I am absolutely AMAZED with what my daughter learned this year! She begs to go to school when it is a day she isn't scheduled to go. I was beyond confident for her kindergarten screening due to how well prepared she is from the education she was given here. Every single staff member has shows care and love for our children and they prove it daily. I highly recommend this school.

A family was given a 24 hour notice to find another program. The reasoning being the four year old was "acting up". Oh you're unable to manage a young child?? That's your job?? The director, Tina Haack, degraded the young boy to his mother in front of him. So unprofessional. You're there to foster and help young children learn and grow, not to kick them out as soon as they misbehave.

First off, I proudly disclose that I was a founder and am a board member of the Autism Academy of…read moreLearning. My son just graduated from the school after 11 wonderful years. It's a world of difference from attending most of the Toledo area traditional public schools, as the school and its services are designed around the individual needs of the students. The school's philosophies and policies put the students first, maintain their dignity, treat them with compassion and respect and provide the services needed to help each child reach his/her potential. Most classrooms have six students to four staff. We offer speech and OT, a Snoezelen Multisensory Room, two gross motor sensory rooms, gymnasium, computer lab with smartboard, life skills room and vocational programming both onsite and in the community at places such as Goodwill Industries and the Holiday Inn French Quarter. In response to the review by a former employee, the overwhelming majority of the school's students have a diagnosis of autism. However, as a public school, the AAL cannot deny admission to students who do not have the diagnosis. The programming and services are specifically designed for those with autism. The school has a very open-door policy and anyone wishing to visit is welcome to call the school for a tour or to answer any questions.

If you want to send your child to a school that allows children to hit each other with pool…read morenoodles, then this is the place for you! Just be aware if an accident happens while they are allowing this behavior, then be prepared to be told that you are responsible for paying for it. I received a call the evening the incident occurred (11/29/22) from the owner telling me that my son hit someone with a pool noodle and broke their glasses, and she told the other parent "we" would pay the co-pay if needed and she would let me know. I was thinking my son randomly hit another kid. After speaking to my child about what happened I decided to wait to be contacted back by the owner with a decision. On 12/9/22 I received a text message from the owner asking did I receive the bill for the glasses. I had not received a bill or any other communication about this incident since 11/29/22. I asked her if I could see the video of the incident and set up a meeting. She sent me the video and asked if I could meet when I picked him up that day, 12/9. I let her know I was working late, and my mom was picking him up. She proceeds to text me again that night asking if I got the bill. I reminded her what I had just told her, that I was still at work, but no one gave my mom the invoice. I asked if we could please meet Monday to discuss and she agreed. The video shows 3 older kids get pool noodles and start hitting each other. Then my 5-year-old grabs one and joins in. The pool noodle ends up knocking the glasses off one of the older boys' faces. I went in Monday morning, she had another employee waiting for me who called her on speaker phone. The first thing I asked was why are children being allowed to hit each other with pool noodles. She proceeded to tell me because that is what they are used for! I said I'm sorry, but I've always known pool noodles to be a flotation device used to assist in teaching people to swim, not hitting. Her reply was they are boys, we have always let them do this and nothing has ever happened, and you see where they are now (which was in her office). I said yes, this is probably where they always should have been. I was just absolutely appalled at her response. She was not taking any responsibility in allowing kids to hit each other. I even offered to split the cost because I did not feel that a school should be encouraging hitting. She told me that a child fell off a playset years ago and had to get pins in his elbow and she felt bad about it so she paid the medical bill but her husband (who is an atty) told her she can't do that again or it will set a precedent (which already did with that incident). She was getting very defensive because I kept bringing up the fact that I don't feel that a school should allow hitting, no matter what that act should not be encouraged! She shut down and just said I'm done having this conversation we're done here. I said fine, I'll pay the bill and she said nope we're done-we will not be picking him up from school today. If my parents were not in town for the holidays this would have left me, a single parent, with no other options for care with such short notice. The way this was handled was completely unreasonable and unprofessional. She then texts me a week after we left, on Friday 12/16, telling me she paid the bill for the glasses and please send in my payment for care from the week before--which I had already paid it 2 days prior, when it was due. I almost think it was just a slap in the face when she previously told me she could not split the bill with me, but here she is saying she paid it in full. The whole experience was just unbelievable. I am so glad I found such a great center that my son is now attending, which was as equally appalled as I was at what happened here and assured me that they do not allow hitting at all. As upset as I was after this happened, I am so glad it did, or I would've never found the new place that is so much more involved in aftercare and has planned activities (games, crafts, reading books to the children, etc.) rather than a bunch of kids running around with barely any supervision. Please feel free to contact me for proof (videos, recording, texts) if you need it before considering this place. I will say there are amazing staff there (Sam, Ashley, Tyler, and Anne) and I never had an issue with the pre-kindergarten program but the aftercare program and the actual person running the show (the owner, Donna) leaves much to be desired.

I thought it fitting to do my 100th *yelp review on my Alma Matter, Central Catholic…read more I can't say enough about CCHS. As a strong and positive presence in this otherwise drab end of Toledo, CCHS has really improved its neighborhood and own campus over the last few years. CCHS is the largest co-ed Catholic High School in Toledo, with nearly 2000 students. It accelerates in special education as well as college preparatory classes, as well as sports, the arts, and computer technology. CCHS offers a plethora of scholarships and work-study options, and is open to students of all backgrounds. Incoming students are also given a MacBook for their high school studies and the personal attention that only a caring, intentional faculty and staff can provide. As of late, CCHS has opened its new Varsity-sized football stadium next to its college-sized gymnasium. Central also just opened its own astronomy center, which includes a Moon Rock and observatory. CCHS is truly above and beyond any other school in Toledo. Go Irish!

They were just jealous :) During my time there women's basketball ruled and we never won the Irish Knight football game. The students here have a lot of school spirit as well. As for classes and teachers, Dr. Monford's AP European History class was a beast, the block english/history class with Mrs. Best and Mr. Clark my sophomore year is hands down the best class. Homecoming is fun as well (I was in Top Five for Homecoming Queen) and the Super Fella week is another highlight. I haven't visited recently, but hear that we are now D3 football champs and have finally won the Irish Knight from St. Francis.
