My son was 5 at the time and wore his mask all of the time unlike other children/staff (They sent daily pictures of how the kids were doing and you could see this). If one child caught COVID, they would close the class for an entire week, yet still expect you to pay half the tuition! I understand paying partial tuition to secure his spot if I went on vacation and took him out for the week. But to pay because they needed to close the classroom is ridiculous. The facility seemed old and cluttered. Half the staff needed an attitude adjustment.

As an educator myself, I could not be more pleased with the educational foundation my children are receiving.

The teachers and administration have given above and beyond to provided support and meet the educational needs of the times. I cannot recommend this school highly enough!

I was looking for a preschool for my daughter that was close to my house and was affordable for a…read moresingle mother who was going back to school full time. I also practice attachment parenting, and wanted a place that would also follow the same line of discipline as I do. I interviewed with the director Kim in the summer, and knew that this was the place for my daughter. She told me from the start that they set up an environment where they do not have to say no often. She also mentioned that they try to get outdoors everyday, and if the entire class is having a bad day it isn't unheard of to not do much "work" and allow the children to burn off energy. I like this concept. Preschool doesn't need to be a "sit down, do this worksheet" type of place. Now, don't get me wrong, the kids there learn a lot! My daughter has progressed very well in Mrs. Denise's classroom. She's learned all the basics they teach in preschool as well as things like manners, respect for all living things, love for our environment, etc. It is a Christian preschool, but they do not go overboard with the biblical education.

My son started attending daycare March 4 and he was not sick at that time. It is given that he will…read moreget sick because it is daycare. Unfortunately, he got sick longer than we expected. He had an infection for 7 weeks and had 3 series of antibiotic, a total of 30 days. I observed that the children who were sick on his first day of school were still sick when he left the facility. 1. I witnessed one teacher that she used one wet wipes to wipe the snot of 3 children. 2. They don't use disposable boots inside the classroom. People step on the mat with their shoes to where my son sleeps, pick-up his toys or even foods. When the kids play outside, they used the same shoes inside. 3. The staff does not wear scrubs (I know it is per company policy) but wearing long nails should not be tolerated due to the sensitive skin of baby/kids. 4. I passed a note to one of the teacher/staff because my son was having diarrhea that time as a side effect of the antibiotic and he had moderate diaper rash. I instructed to used wet cotton on the reddened area, and use a liberal amount of diaper cream in which I provided and give him juice (Pedialyte) which is inside his bag. When he came in the afternoon, nothing has been done. I assumed that the note was not passed along and that gave my son severe diaper rash to the point that he had a skin tear on his buttocks. 5. I asked for 1 week off so that my son can recover at home, but I was told by the director that I will still pay the $220/week in which I understand because it is a business. So he attended again and we were called the afternoon because he broke a fever. He had another infection and needed another series of antibiotic which is his 3rd one. During that time we decided to give his 5 days of notice instead of 2 weeks notice and I was advised that I cannot refund my $220 which I deposited from his first week. (I paid $440 for his 1st and last week on his first day per policy). I told the director Ms. Loria that I should have sued the school for negligence due to the severe diaper rash he had the other week. I reminded her about the note that was not passed along and it seems like she can't remember so I told her that she suddenly had amnesia. Judging on her tone, it seems like she cannot control her temper and she told me "You cannot sue us because in the first place we are just doing you a favor, you should not be passing a note." The note which contains all of the instructions is the only communication I have due to the teacher's different shifts or they might forget to pass the verbal orders. They cannot say they are doing me a favor because I am a paying customer. 6. The school does not have a solid protocol for Medication administration. They have this paper which needed physicians order and signature but they don't have solid policy for over-the-counter medication. I am not even sure if the director is familiar with as needed medication such as Tylenol that needs to be given as needed for fever and not prophylactically. 7. Menu: we were given a menu on his first day and I expected that they will give muffin but when we came back to check on him, they were eating pop tarts. 8. Communication chart: There is one time that my son was not fed because it is not noted on the communication chart. I was told by the prior director Ms. Melanie that he ate because she saw him eating but I told them that without documentation, it has not been done. Please save your money or find in-home providers. There were some nice teachers and loved my child but overall, it is the sanitation issue and the professionalism that needed to be fixed.

He would panic every time I left him in a class at the YMCA or church before, but he loves preschool. There is so much to do there that he loves all the toys and activities.

He's happy when I drop hi off and happy when I pick him up. They offer dance class and soccer during the school day! I just felt like they had to much to offer to entertain him. His teacher is so sweet too! The class is small and the kids seem great as well.

Our daughter did not give us all the details until three years later when it came out in counseling. However, she had gone to the principal repeatedly. We initially left because she was having panic attacks, we have since learned the panic attacks were happening because of how unsafe she felt. I have heard that the male student was finally kicked out after two classes of girls came forward refusing to attend Prom with this young man. Only then did the school respond but it was too late for our daughter. We really loved this school but now realize they are not prepared to handle the larger issues in modern days that will continue to come their way. Ignoring problems only hurts people and does irreversible damage.
