The unique feature about this playground is it has swings suitable for wide range of heights. So…read moremy petite toddler found one swing she can sit on without assistance from me! There is one swing for very very tall child - or they can put chest on the seat to swing, I suppose. The rest of the playground is a bit beat-down, like the other solon playgrounds. It's not particularly big either, but it is another option to take your kids to when the school is out. Don't come during the school hours- you 'll be competing with the students to use this rather small facility.

PGI Young Explorers is the worst company I have ever dealt with. I ordered a stroller for my new…read moregrandson in November 2020. Got a notice backordered and no idea when it would come in. I needed for Christmas. I cancelled order. Kept getting notices they can't cancel and I kept sending to cancel. I finally cancelled my credit card. It is now March 10 and I just notices a charge for the stroller and the shipping which was supposed to be free and never got the stroller. After 1 1/2 hours on phone with credit card company I got my answer. The company somehow found out I had a new credit card and fraudulently used my new card to pay for this stroller I never received. Chase is contesting it, but they told me the company has a special program that can find out you new credit card and number. So much for privacy and what a fraud. Buyer beware.

All the teachers (not just those in his classroom) are so friendly and helpful and really care about their kids. I have never worried that my child wasn't getting everything he needs. That peace of mind is invaluable. We were only planning on being in Aurora for 3-5 years and we're coming up on 4 years here - the only thing stopping us is that we (and our son) are so happy with Young Explorers.

My son attended Chagrin Falls Daycare and Preschool for the past three years beginning at age four…read more He now attends the after care program and my youngest is now in the preschool program. The program director/owner is wonderful. We reviewed two other programs in the area (Goddard and Kids Club) and this place had the best vibe to us. The owner is very flexible with alternative schedules - which is one of the reasons it is popular with many local teachers. We have a goofy schedule and they have been flexible and understanding. I am not a teacher, but my husband's schedule changes constantly and that is a tough sell for most places to accommodate. The program has a nice balance of structure while still catering to the needs of the individual child. My kids are both very different but have each found their way in this school. I love that they have a busing arrangement with two local schools which makes life so easy for parents once the kids are school aged. There are optional programs which cost extra money (About $10 per class per week) for music, computer class, Spanish, and I think one other. My son has thoroughly enjoyed music and computer. We've capped it at two. We too opt to send lunch for our son. They are careful to store it properly so it stays cold and always stick it back in the fridge when it is done so everything is still fresh at pick up time. My son sometimes runs out of time for lunch, but he is a chatty cathy, so I think it is his issue. My only wish for the program was to give the kids more chances to get outside. We had a rotten winter last year, so I am sure that was part of it. I also "get" that getting a ground of kids into their snow gear takes a while. But, a little more outside time would be ideal.

Extremely left-wing, there is room for a lgbt exploration club (whatever that means) but it takes four months to get the assistant principal to even consider a Moc Trial team? The assistant principal is basically a guard dog, she sits in the halls and looks for someone to pick on. Some teachers are horrible, while others are amazing.

My daughter went there for a brief time before we moved her to a better school. Where do I begin first off the assistant principal is EXTREMELY unprofessional and just in general not a nice person and too over whelmed and immature to be in that position. Lord knows what the actual principal does as she is behind the scenes. The assistant principal doesn't believe in discipline when it comes to the athletes And they get away with just about anything. For example they were making fun of a colored student and my daughter witnessed it and the student complained to the principal and nothing was done about it. Finally there are aides and they stand around all day and chat and don't actually do their jobs. Overall I do think this school has gone down hill and recommended they hire better administrators starting w the assistant principal. I have also heard talk in my community about some anti semitism brewing in addition to the racism that is already out in the open and not handled. The school in general seems quite right wing and intolerant of other races and religions.
