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.

It has been such a FANTASTIC experience. The director knew every kid by name. The teachers were superb and absolute saints! They taught her so much this past year. My kid never wanted to miss school, not even for fun stuff. She knows her alphabet, numbers, some blends, colors, shapes, how to behave in a structured environment, and more. I felt she was safe and very well cared for. Absolute five stars and will recommend to anyone else who lives in the area.

I'm strictly rating this based on an event that I attended and not my participation in any of the…read moreeducational aspects of the school. 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.

And what happened was some girl asked to go to the bathroom, but the teacher wouldn't let her good cause we were doing 20 minutes reading and then during the reading the girl started having a episode and had to be removed from the classroom, the teacher walked past my desk then started getting up in my face basically spitting and stared accusing me of doing something to the girl and it was my fault. Mind you the girl sits 1 row across from me so having common sense i didn't cause the girl episode and then during second block I found out she reported me to admin plus gave me a referral for making a scene/disturbing the peace in class and as soon as the lady saw i was black she gave me like this irritated type of look and she didn't even hear my side of the story out so and gave me OSS for the rest of the day (it was about to be the whole week). Please, please parents I beg you not to send your kids here.

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!

My…read moregranddaughter Xomara has been going there for a year now. but today was the 2nd worse encounter I have had since taking my granddaughter there. SALLY(owner) was scheduled to see my granddaughter Xomara today because Mr. jaun was out sick . My granddaughter Xomara appointment was scheduled for 11:00 and we arrived at 10:43 early as usual. time was passing by until it reached 11:15. I went up to the desk to inform AMY (receptionist) that I will reschedule because sally(owner) hasn't came out to get my granddaughter Xomara. I was told by AMY that SALLY(owner) must forgot she had the 11:00 appointment with Xomara. AMY also stated that she forgot we were sitting in the lobby and still waiting for SALLY (owner). At that point it was completely UNACCEPTABLE on SALLY (owner) part and AMY. I signed my granddaughter in at 10:43, so why wouldn't AMY inform SALLY that her 11:00 appointment was there . I was NOT given an apology for that incident in any form nor SALLY and AMY owning up to ACCOUNTABILITY for that incident in. I didn't deserve to be treated nor disrespected in that manner. There is definitely some discrimination concerns there at that business. whether othe African American children or staff attends or work there. ACCOUNTABILITY and RESPECT is the key . And I haven't seen this yet from the staff or the OWNER. Respectfully, Cicelia Cameron.

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.
