This is a wonderful school and I wish we could have stayed longer. The staff really cares about the children and do an amazing job individually and collectively. They are very hands on with the kids and do FUN activities that target core skills and prepare them for kindergarten and on. I never worried once about my daughter's safety or well-being with the staff or other children. She has the best memories here and I am thankful for all of the staff. We miss them so much!

I am so appreciative we were able to get our twin wild children started here. The staff are so communicative and attentive with our toddlers - I always appreciate their insights. My kids love going here and don't seem to miss us at all when we drop off because they're having so much fun and are always expertly transitioned. We are getting much greater value out of enrolling I thought we would when we enrolled -- there is even thoughtful programming for the parents! Highly recommend.

If you are looking for someone to just help your child through homework, a college tutor will do. If you are looking for someone to help your child really develop and progress, Yolanda is the perfect tutor for you. While her background and credentials are impressive, those things do not always equate to a having a good tutor. More than being a tutor, Yolanda will become your child's advocate alongside you. She is willing to go above and beyond to help your child and also always open and available to answer any questions or concerns you may have about your child. You will receive timely session updates on your child's progress so that you can really work with her to help your child. If you have any concerns about meeting online, let me assure you that the online experience is also wonderful. My son is actually more focused and has less distractions meeting online. He has his routine, getting his headphones on and getting the computer ready. He looks forward to his time with Ms. Yolanda! If you are serious about helping your child grow and develop, I would highly recommend Yolanda.

The school itself seems to be well kept, and they also seem to keep in line with the Montessori method of teaching (as far as I can tell, since the pandemic, parents are not allowed in the school, so everything I know is from my child). My one complaint is lack of communication. The school uses mainly the app Brightwheel to communicate with parents. They very rarely send photos of the kids, and never tell you if your child has gotten an injury while in their care. My child had 2 nosebleeds at the school that I had to find out from them (never mentioned by the school at all). Their was blood on their shirt, which they had to change out of during school hours, so the teachers must have known. In addition, when you reach out to the school with questions through Brightwheel, you rarely get a response back. Maybe about 50% of the time. You can also send an email to the admins, but they can take a few days to respond back to you. There is a phone number to call, but in my experience, no one answers it. My child has liked attending Aya, I just wish they would improve their communication with parents.

Their inspection was incredibly thorough, detailed, and professional from start to finish. They were efficient, informative, and provided exceptional customer service throughout the entire process. As first-time homebuyers, we really appreciated how much time they took to educate us along the way. They welcomed all of our questions, concerns, and inquiries with patience, kindness, and genuine professionalism. We never felt rushed, and it was clear that they truly cared about helping us understand the home and make informed decisions. Shameika was also excellent. She thoroughly checked for lead and was able to give us confirmation in real time, which gave us added peace of mind during such an important process. On top of all that, the report for the entire inspection was ready the same day, which was incredibly helpful and impressive. We truly could not have asked for more diligence or a better experience during such an important step in our first home purchase. We highly recommend John, Sterling, Shameika, and the entire LodeStar Inspection Service team to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, thorough, responsive, and customer-focused inspection team.
