As soon as we stepped into WMS we felt at home. We visited many other schools in the area and we found we compared every single one to WMS. We have never looked back. WMS is not just a school it's a community. I've never felt so welcomed anywhere in my life. Every parent, student, teacher, and faculty member has always been extremely nice to us. Most importantly they care for my girl as I would for her myself. They supply her with a place she feels safe, welcomed, and cared for. Because of this she has learned so much, gained so much confidence, and my shy girl has become such a social butterfly. There is nothing better than to hear the excitement in her voice when she shares her dat with us. Each of her teachers have gone above and beyond for her. When she first started and was nervous to interact with her peers her teachers would help "break the ice" with group play on the playground. When she would fight her naps they would rub her back until she falls asleep. When she has shown interest in learning more they have gone out to being in more materials on a subject they know she would love to learn about. When she's had days of not wanting to leave my side they have given her hugs and consoled her until she is calm and ready to start her day. I'm a "worrier" of a Mom and to know that she's in such great hands gives me tremendous peace. I could continue to go on and on about how amazing WMS is and that you should definitely send your children here, but my words can never convey how truly amazing this school and community is to us. Please take a visit, go to a open house, and I assure you'll see just how remarkable this school is too!

We originally signed up for Christ Church with head of school Kim Wagner who was absolutely…read morewonderful in accommodating our son into their 4 year long pre school program. We sent our son to Christ church for their 15 month program for the 2023-2024 school year and loved it. When it came time to start the 2024-2025 school year we were surprised right before the start of school our son would be placed in the first year class again instead of moving up to the 2s and continuing the plan of the 4 year program they offer and he was the only student doing so. We enrolled in February of 2024 right when reenrollment was offered and we were never told that repeating a level could be a possibility nor would of been okay with it. When we first mentioned this to the brand new head of school Mrs. Abio she told us she would do whatever needed to be done to get him into the right level even if it required moving some things around. When we then met Mrs. Abio in person her tone had changed completely. She offered no resolution and instead only tried to convince us that after popping in on our son for two days she knew exactly where he was developmentally and that he was in the right place with children younger than him in their first year of schooling. She had no concern that we already saw our son was a lot further along than the children in his new class, she seemed to have no care for any of our concerns and wanted to tell us her plan for our child with none of our input. Mrs. Abio insisted that with our son's birthday he would be in two years of one level even though his birthday was similar to children he attended the first year with and would of continued on to kindergarten with at the same time. She boasted how the school always pairs with families to develop a plan and to figure out what parents want from the school but their was no such conversation with us. Mrs. Abio's handling of our situation and showing us her classroom ratio was far more important than building a relationship with a family and hearing our concerns led to our decision to withdrawal our son from CCEP. We know where our child is developmentally and it was not where he was placed even when we enrolled plenty in advance to reserve his placement. Let alone the fact she would not acknowledge that with her proposal he would miss an entire year of their offered program and be a year behind the entire time there. He would of had two years of level one which is 15-under 24 months, gone to two year old program when he was already 3 and then gone to 3s when he was 4 and completely missed their PreK level which is normally for 4 and up. Requirement for 2s was 2 by September 1st and his birthday is in June. The new leadership at CCEP has been extremely eye opening and disappointing. I would highly recommend looking into other establishments. This is not the school it was just a short time ago when we initially enrolled and it is very sad to see. A school that advertises themselves as one of the best pre kindergarten programs should hold themselves to a higher standard. EDIT: It is nice to know there is no priority for returning students in your 4 year plan leading to kindergarten. What you and Mrs. Abio fail to admit is that our son would of missed a whole year of the program before going to kindergarten. We declined your meeting because there was no point the decision was already made and you only reached out after all was said and done. The fact you stand by this decision and Mrs. Abio was so firm that she knew exactly where our son was just makes it more clear we made the right decision. Our son was the only RETURNING child in his class. That is a fact and the way we were treated was as we were an unwanted family and it was very upsetting. The teachers in the new class also informed us he was the oldest but I guess CCEP leadership likes to be dishonest and mislead. It has all been a very eye opening experience about a institution we thought was so great. All we asked for was the same program and treatment for our son as all the students he entered the school with because they were all going to kindergarten at the same time but that seemed to be too much to ask.

Many of my friends are members here and face similar problems, but the Siegel JCC is still the most convenient option for them and don't have the same freedom that I have to switch gyms.

I have gotten hit by pickleball members with their paddles when walking across the court to the free side. The weightlifting area is often crowded, and I have been confronted multiple times while waiting in between sets that I have been "taking too long."

As a first time mother I was afforded the opportunity to stay home with my son for the first year…read moreof his life. Concord was our first experience with daycare and it turned out to be so disappointing. My sons teacher was young and inexperienced. She did not display an understanding of normal toddler behavior. So often, all the children, of all ages, were on the playground together and I never felt comfortable leaving my son. At one, or 15 months, he is not ready to be unsupervised on a playground with big kid equipment. Once I was told about his pinching squeezing behaviors by the director, she and I developed what I thought was a plan of action. My husband and I made sure to reinforce positive behaviors at home and to promote nice touch. I kept being told by his teacher and director, "this is totally normal behavior. It's just something we have to pay attention to." Then, out if nowhere, the next day he was there, within an hour of dropping him off, I was called and told to pick him up and not return for the remainder of the month. The director said she tried a time out with my son and "talked" to him about why his behavior wasn't ok. She said it went over his head. Yes. It would. He's 16 months old. I have never been made to feel like a bad mom or that I have a bad son until this experience. I believe they are more concerned about numbers and are not adequately staffed or trained to deal with toddlers. Needless to say, my son is at a new daycare and doing great!!

Extremely disappointing experience with this school from beginning to end…read more To start, they require children to undergo lead blood testing just to attend their summer camp, an unnecessary and intrusive requirement. More concerning, however, is their discriminatory treatment of children with IEPs. Both of my children were enrolled in the camp, but after I submitted one of their IEPs (at the school's request), they revoked that child's admission within a few hours of me sending the report. This decision was made solely based on their IEP. I had mentioned that they were welcome to call his current teacher to gain more information in regard to how well he/she was doing, but they didn't want to hear it - full admission denial one month before the start of camp.
