Constant contact with the school. I receive weekly emails from the director, updating me on lesson plans and any special events (think field trips and fundraisers). The teachers call parents monthly to address any concerns or questions we may have. Each month, photos of my child are uploaded to a private Snapfish account. They're cloth diaper friendly! Your child brings their own lunch each day, or you can opt to order lunch (menus and order forms are available from the school). Right now, my sons options for ordering lunch are Mac and Cheese from McAlisters Deli one on day, or Grilled Chicken from Applebee's on another day. Refrigerators and microwaves are available in the classroom, so my son generally takes leftovers for lunch. Also, the school is completely nut free! Okay...but what about academics?? Each week has a theme. Let's take the week they learned about dental health as an example. It included making tooth artwork, reading books about teeth, a visit from a dentist and learning the Spanish word for teeth (diente). In the short time my son has been in attendance, he's made so much progress. Their program truly is Kindergarten Prep. I can't wait until my younger son begins school here in the fall.

I felt she was safe and very well cared for. Absolute five stars and will recommend to anyone else who lives in the area.

The dining / cafeteria is where the event was held, and I must say, if I had a dining room with these options back when I was in high school, I would've gained the freshman 15 a LOT sooner. Very spacious with lots of seating and as far as dining room seats go, they're pretty comfortable for long hours of sitting at an event. Restrooms are a little ways down the hall, and if you're new to the area, use your GPS to find your way back. Parking was plentiful, but I wish the volunteers parked further away and didn't use the closest parking spots so that those attending could have preferred parking, but here I go getting distracted and not focusing on the actual review ... on another side note, there's a Tastee Freez across the street, and I was craving chili dogs all day long.

Another little bonus is the school is always clean and well landscaped. If you are looking for an elementary school you would like to be near this is the one!

If I could give Carolina Speech and Language (CSAL) a 5+ rating, I would. My child has been…read morereceiving speech therapy with CSAL for 5 years. He has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and ADHD. He has had difficulty with aggression and being in control. Some of the areas my child worked on were understanding nonverbal cues, understanding idioms, using emotion words, changing his behavior based on someone else's emotional reactions, using appropriate facial expressions, and modifying his language based on facial expressions of others. These are all complex issues and take time. CSAL did not give up on my child. They also worked with him on food therapy. This strengthened his jaw/face muscles and helped his enunciation. The food therapy also helped with his aversion to textures, which is common in children with ASD. He went from being an extremely picky eater to someone who eats almost anything I put in front of him. CSAL will work hard to match my child with the best therapist. If he is not working well with someone they will switch him to another. He has also benefitted from groups to practice conversations with kids his own age. CSAL thinks out of the box. Now that my child is older, we have practiced making 911 emergency calls using an old non-operating cellphone. We practice from scripts with different scenarios of emergency situations. I followed that up with an actual tour of the local emergency center in Dorchester County. Another out-of-the-box task was for my child giving me step-by-step directions on how to do his household chore. This caused him to slow down his thought process and make sure he covered each step before moving forward. I highly recommend CSAL to any family with children of any age.

My child came here after an official evaluation from a licensed psychiatrist specializing in autism,who came to the conclusion my child was not autistic just ADHD and needed speech therapy and occupational therapy. (Will get to why this is relevant later) Granted we are from out of state so didn't do much research looking for a speech therapist kind of just called the first place that seemed nice. So opon arriving here my child was evaluated for their placement in speech. The evaluation was not standard because my child would not sit still for the book or showed any interest in the book style testing (child is a toddler still let alone also has adhd) I was the one who had to suggest to the teacher she try using objects to evaluate speech placement instead of books,it worked and everything seemed to be going ok. Our next session she had a bunch of activities and my child retained interest. Two sessions later he was getting bored with the same activities (again ADHD) instead of adapting to his learning style and needs she decided to place him in a restrained high chair (or maybe her boss did I'm unsure) anyway from this point on my child was clocked out of learning and uninterested,because she started to use the learning cards and books again instead of objects my child just wanted to get out of the chair (again ADHD) During this session the boss came in and suggested we get my child evaluated for autism and said her company did it for 3000 ( it was either that or 1,300) either way we are not that rich and already paid for an official evaluation. I felt hopeless with this program but thought maybe the issue was the teacher. We switched teachers and the new one let my child be without a restrained highchair, he started to learn again,started to complete full sentences. Two sessions later suddenly he had to be in a chair again before the next session could start(extremely type a regimen to the point he would stay in the chair 15 mins and then we would waste an hour trying to get him back in the chair and he would learn nothing) Again my child has adhd And is too young for medication I'm not sure if the boss is the one telling these teachers how to teach or not but they certainly don't adapt to special needs! The therapist said to teach my son he would need cbd oil or Adderall! He's three! Everytime they suggested everything BUT adjusting the learning plan Keep in mind my child is not school age and attention levels shouldn't be expected that high especially with adhd I thought about it and went home like,wow I am being gaslit when in reality they do not know how to teach a child who needs a different approach to the standard curriculum
