I'm a parent whom my 4 year old son attends Kirkwood, while picking up my son at school, I…read morewitnessed something deeply upsetting. A teacher named Manuel grabbed a little girl by the arm, yelled at her, and snatched something from her hand, then threw it across the floor. All the children nearby looked scared and shaken. This behavior is completely unacceptable, especially from someone entrusted with the care of young children. No child should ever be treated like that in a school environment. I am sharing this because I believe in protecting all children and ensuring schools are a safe and nurturing place to learn. I hope the administration takes this seriously and investigates. Parents: Please pay attention. Teachers should be role models, not bullies.

The teachers daughter actually reached out to me through a yelp private message saying I had potentially ruined his image by posting this review and that the reason why he was there was because her kids were current students and he wanted to help her get a discount and that her father has provided meals for the children when the school couldn't. I stand by my review because I was truly concerned about the way he yelled and grabbed that child along with my other findings.

The pastor keeps them all as part time employees so he obviously doesn't have to pay any benefits. So the teachers don't last. Some of them were amazing! The type of teachers you want for your kids. But minimum wage doesn't pay bills. So there is a lot of change that isn't good for kids. It was an amazing school in the past. Not anymore.

We wanted our children to be in a safe, loving and nurturing environment. And this exceeded all of our expectations!!!! The director, Miss Lety, is a kind and loving woman. She became like family for our family. She truly loves all of her students and their families. Academics for us was secondary, but luckily the academics are great! Now that my son has finished kinder we need to find a new school and we are also moving to Orange County. The schools we have applied to in OC have asked us to get our children assessed to see where they are at academically and BOTH of them are A YEAR AHEAD! They learned so much a Children's Academy of Success but they were still allowed to be children and not forced to be little learning robots. I guess they learned having fun! My son had Miss Bianca and Miss Sinttia and LOVED them My daughter has had Miss Alma, who is an angel on Earth. Don't hesitate to enroll your kids here.

This is a challenging time for all schools and we are thankful to be a part of DCS.
