First- I'd like to start with the fact that there are a few great and caring people that work here,…read morebut I was very disappointed with how my child was treated. My child is 3-years-old and never had any problem until a certain teacher taught her when she went up one class. She was in a class with a teacher who has been there for quite a while. My daughter had an issue with her specifically when she was in a younger class, but I thought it was just because she was strict. Now almost two years later, my child would come home and tell me stories of her day. Stories would include how the teacher was mean and yelled at her, or she didn't get to eat lunch because she couldn't set up her nap spot alone. Something today spoke to me and told me to log on and watch her in her class (they have cameras in each room). I logged on when the teachers were setting up for lunch and the kids were setting up for their nap. My daughter is 3-years-old in a class of almost 5-year-olds, so it's understandable that she would need more help than others. I watched as my child sat quietly next to her nap mat that was folded in half because she was unable to get her fitted crib sheet over the mat by herself. I then watched a teacher fix one of the nap mats herself by putting a child's fitted sheet on the mat. My daughter even stood up, approached the teacher and pointed toward her mat as if she were asking for help. She was shrugged off. I watched painfully for 25 minutes as much child sat pathetically unable to do it alone. The other children were having lunch. My daughter could not eat lunch until she fixed her nap spot. I am a logical and understanding person, but this is no way to treat a child and not allowing them to have lunch is UNETHICAL. After watching for long enough, I stormed out of work and went to pick up my child. I confronted the director, who was very understanding and apologized for the situation, but I will not return my daughter to a place where she feels bullied and is punished for being a toddler. Irate, livid and inconsolable are a few words to describe how I am feeling right now as a mother. As I said, I know there are great people who work at Stepping Stones-- because my daughter had them as teachers and has told me nice stories about them, but I will never return or refer anyone to enroll their child there and feel the way I do now. I urge the staff and owners to look into the teaching methods used and how the children are being treated on a daily basis. And I hope no parents or their children ever have to experience this or feel the way we do right now. I have videos and photos of the event from the online webcam system and I do plan on proceeding further to make sure this does not happen to anyone else's child.

The teachers stand outside and wave to the parents. Bus rider's are carefully transported to and from destinations. The school building is secure with locks and intercoms. I wish they had security guards on site. All in all it's one of the city's finest elementary schools.

Please Please read this before taking or leaving your child here. I know it is long but it is the…read moretruth I would not recommend sending your child to Young Scholars Preschool. The owner of this preschool goes through employees like water. She cannot retain them due to how she treats them. She chastises them for any and every little thing right in front of parents, which I found extremely unprofessional. In the 7 months that our son was in her care, I cannot even count the number of employees she had. Because of this high turnover, the kids do not know what to expect day to day and the staff does not have the proper training to deal with kids, especially behavior issues. When my husband went to pick my son up from Young Scholars Preschool the day we decided to pull him out, the staff did not know who he was, even though he had been there 3 weeks prior. The staff tried to call the owner of the preschool because she was not on-site, and she did not answer her phone. Due to the high turnover and lack of training, they did not know to look in my child's file to see photos of the parents so they could verify identity. When my husband did end up speaking with the owner of the preschool about our concerns, her response was "that is too bad". It was very disappointing that she did not care we had concerns and issues about the behavior our son was exhibiting the last few months he was in her care ranging from very angry, crying and not wanting to be dropped off, and coming home multiple days in a row with wet pants. The preschool owner spends more time making sure a sheet is filled out each day detailing every single book they read, what is eaten (all breakfast and lunch is provided by the parents), and bathroom trips, rather than focusing on the child and learning. It is my belief that a preschool should teach more than tracing ABC's each day and repeating a letter before going to the restroom. Each month parents are required to pay an activity fee. It turns out, this activity fee in addition to a bouncy house which is a fun thing, is used to feed the children donuts, pizza, and a large bag of candy that the kids are sent home with. We are not a candy-free household, but we do not feel that a 2 1/2 year old needs to be sent home with a bag of candy each month. We did not appreciate the extra money per month being spent on junk to feed our child when we were told that the kids were going to be fed healthy snacks. In addition to the monthly activity, the daily snacks fed to the kids are full of sugar such as juice barrels. Always be sure to check the DHS website to see how many violations a pre-school or daycare has. In the 7 months our son was at Young Scholars Preschool, Young Scholars Preschool had 8 violations. I find this completely unacceptable especially when they range from taking away food as punishment, not keeping the heat at the minimum temperature required, and more violations you can look at for yourself: http://tennessee.gov/humanservices/article/find-child-care In close, do not send your child to Young Scholars Preschool. She puts on a good front, but as time goes on, you can see through the façade of what is supposed to be taught and fed and the school, but is not. After all was said and done we also had to pay her out for the last 2 weeks due to no notice. She even threatened to send us to collection. If we where not in the middle of buying a new home we would have fought her in court. But that is not feasible for us at this time for us.

My child is learning musical techniques, many different art techniques, how to play just about every sport (including rock climbing, yoga and some basic dance!), and how to use the computer (keyboarding, mouse and safe computer use). The counselor also has a curriculum. So far the kids have learned how to "de-bug" (deal with their peers when they are annoying or bullying) and how to protect themselves from inappropriate behavior by others. The school has an active PTO, well-attended family events throughout the school year, and a very involved staff. The regular ed teachers have been excellent, too. They teach well and are available for parents and students if they need extra help. The largest class size my child has had is 21! Metro schools has a bad reputation, but this little school is excellent.
