The days she spent at school became a very important and loving memory for her…read more Our shy and timid daughter is now taking on many challenges and we are delighted with her growth. Since the first day we entered into the great universe that is PLA, you have continued to amaze us with your outstanding commitment and excellence. Each and every teacher who has been with our daughter has been fantastic. Each has enriched the lives of our kids and made an impact. All positive. All impressive. All heart, all the time. The place you have created is far more than a preschool. It is an epicenter of genuine joy, of important life lesson, and love. To try to describe the level of devotion your staff shows would be an understatement, and to attempt to say thank you would be the same. Now my daughter graduated PLA and start kindergarten.Based on what she learned at PLA, She is doing very well at kindergarten classes. She is so many happy memories at PLA and she missing PLA familys(teachers, friends). If you looking to Preschool for your loved one, I'll strongly recommend at PLA.

If I could give minus 10 stars, I would gladly do it!…read more We enrolled our son at Premier Learning Academy in May, after carefully researching various kindergartens. We chose this one because we believed it would help our son, an only child, develop social skills and build relationships with other children. The advertised advanced curriculum also appealed to us, and we trusted the institution to deliver on its promises. Initially, everything seemed great. We loved his teacher, Ms. Jules, who was exceptional. She helped our child stay focused and engaged. Unfortunately, she eventually left due to issues with the administration, which was deeply disappointing. She was replaced by another teacher, who, in my opinion, is unqualified and lacks the necessary pedagogical training. This teacher had no authority over the children and failed to manage them effectively. Soon after, my child's behavior changed drastically. He began mimicking negative behaviors like spitting, kicking, and scratching--things he clearly learned from the environment at the kindergarten. It was shocking because these behaviors were entirely new and inconsistent with how he was raised at home. Instead of addressing these issues constructively, the teacher and the deputy director resorted to blaming my child for his "terrible behavior." Their approach was appalling. They subjected my son to what I can only describe as moral harassment. When I addressed these issues in writing, they ignored my concerns and continued to single out my child. He became withdrawn and tearful, refusing to talk about what was happening at school. Daily messages from the teacher accused my son of hitting, kicking, or spitting, even though he denied these incidents at home--and at 3.5 years old, it's hard for him to lie convincingly. Adding to the frustration, whenever I asked about injuries on my son's face, the staff's response was always, "No one saw anything." It seemed that they only noticed my son's actions when he tried to defend himself. The situation escalated further when the teacher and director resorted to punitive measures, such as taking my son to the office for "explanatory conversations." It's unacceptable for adults to try to reason with a 3.5-year-old in this way, especially when it's clear he was already under immense stress. Instead of helping, they made matters worse. One Friday, after enduring another day of this mistreatment, my son was so emotionally drained that he fell asleep on my lap and slept for 13 hours straight. This level of exhaustion and stress is heartbreaking and entirely unacceptable for a child. Things continued to deteriorate over the next few weeks. Every day brought new accusations about my son's behavior, which only made it clearer that this environment was toxic for him. We finally decided to withdraw him from the kindergarten. Although their policy required a two-week notice, the administration insisted we remove him immediately, further demonstrating their unwillingness to work with parents or prioritize the well-being of the child. We enrolled our son as a happy, well-mannered child, and we left with a child who was distressed, misbehaving, and mimicking the inappropriate actions he learned at Premier Learning Academy. Another shocking observation was how poorly the children were cared for during nap time. The kids were made to sleep in their shoes, which is both unhygienic and uncomfortable. If a child didn't want to sleep, they were forced to lie down and wait. Unlike Ms. Jules, who used to engage with non-sleeping children through activities like drawing or reading, this teacher simply ignored them, often spending time on her phone instead of providing care. This review is long because the level of unprofessionalism, negligence, and bullying--towards both my child and myself as a parent--was staggering. Advice: Stay far away from this kindergarten. While the decision is yours, I wouldn't wish our experience on anyone.

Was suspended based off whatever the bully would say to get my son into trouble. No adult proof ever. Even with their 504 plan I have my son in they didn't help him whatsoever. Now because of them I cannot get my son into another school in the district we live in. As a single mother this is beyond frustrating and hurtful, they would never help or listen. The staff is beyond lazy they cannot deal with difficult children in any manner. So what my 10 year old doesn't get a chance to prove himself?? I chose this school based off the rating and reviews and it was the WORST decision I have ever made for my son and because of last year he now struggles from it and NO ONE HELPS YOU EVER. They don't listen. They do NOT CARE. I have never dealt with other parents with their self entitlement bs than I have with this school and it's disgusting.

All Smoke and Mirrors! This school is very disappointing! My son was a Honor Roll student when we…read moremoved from Gilbert to Chandler. We checked out several schools in the area and decided to send our son to Legacy based off of the ratings and conversation that we had with the legacy office staff. One thing that we liked was the advertised focus on academics and the students wearing uniforms. Unfortunately the focus on academics is severely lacking! The ongoing communication between the teachers and parents is nonexistent, unless the parents contact the teachers. The amount of emails that you receive daily pertaining to PTO, Sports ,and fundraising is overly abundant. I wish one of those emails would have been about my child failing a class before we found out on the progress report. Lastly there is the dreaded drop off and pick up "Drive Lines!"... This drive line is INSANE!! There was definitely a design flaw when planning out the parking lot and vehicle pathways. Legacy doesn't offer school bus service so you are subjected to this scrimmage amongst other parents to enter the 20min drive line. Overall this school just didn't live up to "As Advertised."

So be aware of the large class sizes. Once they stopped teaching academically a year ahead, it has changed tremendously. The Administration has always had a bad reputation, it comes and goes. They also have a hard time keeping teachers and resource support (IEP/504)- a lack of admin support. You will have many substitutes, which cause academic delays and significant disruption in the classrooms.
