We had nothing but a wonderful experience with OCA in Edgewater NJ. The school is very organized and communicative. The facilities are wonderful and safe for the kids. The videos and updates from the classroom every single day are just want a parent needs. This school has a real curriculum and my daughter was absolutely prepared for kindergarten after attending this school for many years. Ms. Alison is just a wonderful teacher and truly cares about all the kids. She is the Pre-K 4 teacher. She is so passionate about teaching the kids not only how to read and count but also about the world (travel, theatre, arts, NYC, books). I can't say enough great things about this school. The administrators are very involved and responsive to any requests made by the parents. I was so lucky to find this school and really believe this has given my daughter a massive advantage in life. Thanks OCA! read more

OCA is the best! Our now 2 year old enrolled in Oct of last year and it has been the absolute best decision as parents. The teachers are so loving and caring - I feel so comfortable leaving her knowing she'll be looked after with love. The classrooms are colorful and sun-filled. The class sizes are small and the curriculum is so thoughtful and includes music and dance classes! I've been so impressed with how much my daughter has learned in such a short period of time. We love OCA! read more

By far the best daycare experience we could have ever asked for. We moved to Edgewater with a 9 month old daughter and were very nervous about putting her into daycare but OCA ended up being like a second home and family for us. When my son was born he started at 3 months and while I was sad to be apart from him, the comfort of having him at OCA eased so much of my stress and anxiety. The staff is amazing, besides loving and caring for our kids, they also have incredible curriculum and lessons, both of my children are much more advanced than their peers due to their teaching. They offer breakfast, lunch and snacks which is a huge help for busy working parents. Also, they take safety very seriously with doors locked at all times, and safety drills for kids which was one of my biggest factors in choosing a daycare, and they are top notch here. Besides learning they have so many enriching programs for the kids from gymnastics to music, spirit weeks, holiday concerts, events for mothers day and fathers day that both the kids and parents love. We recently moved away and still receive emails from the staff checking in on the kids. We loved our experience and would recommend to anyone in the area looking for daycare / preschool!! read more

Where do I start in singing the praises for OCA its director, staff and teachers? The staff is truly incredible in their dedication to make the OCA experience outstanding they pour love and passion in how they interact with all the students. My children have been attending OCA for a little over two years; during that time, I have seen my kids nurtured and intellectually stimulated even at a young age. I'm always pleased and amazed with the curriculum it far exceeded my expectations they have learned to count, multiply and the alphabet at the pre-k. I love it when my kids are so excited to show me what they learned during class. OCA has instilled in them the passion for learning and curiosity. As for the facilities, it's immaculate and secure something that brings a lot of comfort to my spouse and me. I want to thank the OCA staff and the owners you have made the pre-school experience unforgettable.ly read more

Overnervous first time mom here. Started my little man at 4 months after extensive research of local daycare options before I even had him. OCA presented the best combination of facility, location, care options, and as I quickly came to learn, staff. I am so grateful for the part that OCA plays in our lives and my son's development - now loving his ABCs at 19th months - and the teachers have been noting short of fantastic. I have seen love and hugs and cuddles for him as an infant, fun playtime to help develop his skills as an early walker, and now caring, constructive teaching and high-energy "classes" as an older toddler. It's been a great journey. The staff are attentive, the directors responsive, and the facility is the best I've seen in the area. read more

We moved to Edgewater and knew no one. But we found OCA. We found friends and family! Our kids love love love their teachers and it is really hard to get them to leave school some days. Seriously. They changed the head of school. Maria has made such fantastic changes to the warmth and community. Every person on staff knows our kids and our daughter greets almost all of them with hugs when she walks in. It is a traditional daycare/preschool. Focused on learning. They do arts and crafts and worksheets. We were at alternative schools prior to here and as I do miss some of those aspects (play based, Montessori influences, deeper philosophy to the program) our kids are thriving. Our kids are happy. Our kids are learning things we have not taught them. And that's what preschool is about. Play. Interaction. Love. Family away from home. read more

I can't say enough good things about Our Children's Academy. Having explored multiple daycares in the area, this was by far the nicest, no question. Very clean, friendly team, very communicative and flexible in meeting each child's needs (food, sleep, etc.) and my daughter even learned a little Spanish and sign language! The kids there are very busy learning (a defined learning curriculum by age) and playing. They have enrichment sessions like music (included) and free play as well. My daughter had a wonderful experience there in the infant room and in the "Waddler's" space once she was walking. We moved out of town recently and were SO sad to have to find a new place. Leaving your child in someone else's care is a huge decision. I always knew she was not only well cared for but loved at OCA. Thank you for an amazing experience! read more

We love OCA. The staff is amazing, the teachers are fantastic and the curriculum is top notch (my 18mo old has learned SO much there!) - goes above an beyond just being a daycare - they are personal and provide excellent and most important trustworthy and safe individuals to care for our precious children. My daughter absolutely loves going, leaves home happy to go to OCA and comes home happy after a great day at school. Highly recommend. I will be very sad when we have to leave. read more

I couldn't say enough positive things about OCA to do the directors, staff, and the establishment as a whole proper justice. My children have been in almost every group of this wonderful facility (infant-prek4) in a span of 2+ years. They were loved, nurtured, taught, molded, and cared for at a 5 star level across the board. And that's not even mentioning the cleanliness of the facility, the thoughtfulness behind the curriculum and activities, and the personal approach that was given to each every family that walked through the door. The staff became our family and the director, our lifelong friends. We feel incredibly lucky to have been part of the "OCA experience" and would recommend them to anyone without a second thought. read more

I've read so many reviews of this place, and definitely had my hopes to have my baby at this center. Unfortunately, I've reached out twice via e-mail over the course of a month to get more information & have gotten no response. It doesn't leave me a good 1st impression that they can't be bothered to respond to an e-mail for a prospective parent. What would be their response time if my baby was there? Perhaps I shouldn't try to find out. read more

Part 1 We initially like OCA and had many hopes. The staff seemed knowledgeable and friendly. They had a really good curriculum, on paper at least and seemed very educational based. Brand new facility meaning clean and new equipment. What could go wrong. Being new parents, we googled as much as we could as to what to look for in a good child care facility. During an open house, it seemed like a great place. We decided to enroll our first born there from day 1. Initially, there were no hitches. Our daughter was excited to go. She enjoyed interacting with the other kids her age. Now I am under no illusion that our daughter is a handful. She has trouble following directions and is incredibly strong willed. She was 2 yrs old when we enrolled her and she began her strong temper tantrums. The teachers constantly reported difficulty keeping her calm. We met with the administrators on several occasions to get progress updates and specifics. To this point we had no doubts or concerns with the center and felt it was a parenting issue. The first doubts arose when an incident occurred. Apparently one of the kids had bitten my daughter during play. The bite was hard enough to to leave a mark but not break skin. Following proper protocol, the admins called me as soon as the incident happened. Concerned, I spoke with the principal and asked for specifics which she obliged. It seemed like an innocent and isolated incident, after all kids will be kids and accidents will happen. She informed me that the child will be monitored more closely to avoid this incident happening again. What got me doubting the center was that during this incident I asked the admins what the protocol is for emergencies. Specifically, who is in charge on a day to day basis. What is their command structure as for as handling emergencies? Their reply was that they have a committee of 3 people who make decisions for the center. I kept probing and asking directly. my response was if there's a fire, you can't wait for 3 people to conference before taking action. The responses I kept getting were dodgy at best. I got the sense that they were more concerned with covering their butts and legal ramifications than answer a concerned parents question. The admins requested a meeting at which, after 48 hours, they laid out who is in charge and their structure of command. I don't know what possessed me but I kept my daughter enrolled. She still seemed to enjoy the center and was learning new things such as the alphabet. But this progressively degraded and quickly. I saw that as my daughter changed classes her enthusiasm got worse and worse to the point that she didn't want to goto class. When we picked her up she was always down and not cheerful. When I met with her teachers, she was always upset and seemed as though my daughter was a a nuisance and a royal pain. The teacher never had a smile. We tried giving it some time but in the end we couldn't take it. Our daughter was always in a down state. We took her out and enrolled her at Prime Time about 5 min away. That was the best move we ever made. We heard that there was a change in the admin staff of OCA. So we decided to check it out for our son. They were definitely a big improvement from the previous admin. Given the structured setting of OCA, we decided that this would be a great setting for our son. Our son is developmentally delayed. Needless to say, he is a handful, even for his parents. Now, the teachers seem to change too often at OCA. None of the teachers, even the ones we liked from our first experience were there. The teacher for our son, was not the most enthusiastic but no bad vibes. My son seemed to show some progress and he seemed to really enjoy class. He was always in good spirits. This all culminated when we picked him up one day and noticed some red smearing around his lips. We asked his teacher what all this was. She said he had just eaten a cupcake and that was just residue. We though nothing of it. When we got home, we took a napkin and started wiping it off. We realized then that it was a allergic reaction. We called his pediatrician immediately. His doctor said to find out exactly what he ate so she can ascertain what would have possibly caused the reaction. We immediately contacted the center. They had no information. When we went and confronted the teacher in person, she admitted to seeing the allergic reaction and took it upon herself not to mention it to the child's parents. Despite everything we've been though with this place, when it comes to a child's physical well being, I am just speechless. We went to the admins screaming. All they could do was offer apologies. Obviously, we dis enrolled our son on the spot. So if your child is completely calm, follows direction without question, then OCA is perfect. If your child is in anyway normal, go to Prime Time. OCA has too many untrained staff from top to bottom. More business oriented than child care. read more

I just wanted to send a note regarding my experience with Our Children's Academy (OCA). I have a 5 year old who attended the center ever since she was a year old and loved it then and my sentiment is the same now with my 3 year old. I love everything about OCA! I have worked with teachers, management and the owners since day one and it has been amazing! Every single staff member there are always so pleasant and upbeat. They create a really positive environment for my kids! The curriculum is very carefully considered and varies week to week. Classrooms are always clean (cleaning company comes daily) and food is freshly made daily there. My kids are always very excited to tell me what is new at school and what they are learning. I am so grateful for the teachers and management. I really appreciate that everyone at OCA keeps us in the loop about their goals and plans for the kids and the school. I always feel very comfortable talking to them about anything that comes to mind, and they are attentive to our feedback as well. I wish my children could attend OCA forever! Thank you teachers, management and owners for everything and please continue by doing what you love to do to let other families have the same experience at OCA. read more

OCA is the best decision I've ever made for my children. My son who is 5 started at 3 months old and my daughter who is 3.5 started at 7 months. The learning experiences that my children have had goes above and beyond any expectations that I ever had. The teachers are amazing and extremely talented and creative in their approach to teaching the children. Along with that, the staff at OCA is wonderful to work with. Everyone works together, individual needs are met and it is evident that they all truly care about the children. I highly recommend OCA. read more

Six months ago I had a tour at Our Children's Academy. At that time the school was brand new. You couldn't find reviews online or get a wonderful referral. But I felt an excitement and glowing energy about each and every staff member I met. The school was impeccably clean and felt gentle and safe. They "won" me I thought, and my one and only son started their first opening day. I have watch Our Children's Academy grow rapidly, which the staff handles very well. I have the pleasure daily of my sons new insight into this world, whether he's showing me his new yoga positions, the paint on his hands, the letters he has learned or recalling a book they read, it's always something new and always told to me with such enthusiasm and excitement. It's such a treat as a parent to hear " mommy, school? " routinely as he runs for his shoes. Our Children's Academy did not "win" me, we won, my son and I. TOP NOTCH, no better choice. Thank you to everyone at OCA! read more

This is the worst daycare, but yet, the most expensive daycare we have been to. We want the best for our daughter's growth. We rather cut down on other spending and make sure she has the best care we can afford. I have visited EVERY single daycare in the Bergen County and Hudson County. We ended up with this daycare, because they are very good with their lies. And worst of all, the purpose of us paying for a daycare is so that we can go to work while my DD can get good education, however, this daycare gives me more hassle then help. Issue #1 They are under ratio, but you won't know. Because they do not allow parents to enter the classroom area. But there were one morning, my DD being extremely cranky, i went to the breakfast area. There is NO teacher in the room. Only one receptionist watching about 6 kids there. - Their no interferecne policy is really, hiding illegal ratio from our eye. Issue #2 15 holidays a years + 2 scheduled closing days a year. That means, not only you need to give them half of your paycheck, but also half of your vacations days Issue #3 They find every poosible excuse to close the school. In the winter of 2014, I can't even count how many days they closed their daycare anymore. Ok, when the snow is bad, weather bad, I understand. But they will send you an email to tell you the daycare will be close at 3:30pm because they might be a snow storm coming tomorrow?!?!?!?!?!?! You tell your boss, you have to leave coz snow storm. Your boss look out the window and say " please find a better excuse, the Sun is right there and snow storm MIGHT or MIGHT NOT be coming tomorrow". Another day, they had a late opening at 10am because of snow storm the night before. And of coz they have super poewer, they tell you they open at 10am the night before, before the snow arrive. Before anyone knows how bad the storm will be. ONLY THEY KNOW! So, we dropped off our DD at 10am. Then, they call us at 2pm and tell us to pick up by 3:30 today. WHAT!?!? WE JUST SAT DOWN in the office. And their reason was, they lost power for 30 mins (or 40 mins) so, they don't want to risk safety in the dark....huh!?!?! it won't turn dark until 5pm! Issue #4 When we had the tour, they said all their head teachers have BA degree. But my DD head teach doesn't have BA degree. Either daycare lied, or the teacher lied. What do you think? They are all about money, no passion on child/childcare. whatso ever. They close their daycare for every excuse they can find. So that, we pay them full time, and they don't have to pay their hourly teacher. They are making big money this winter. Please think twice before you register your child. read more

Being a first time parent who moved to NJ from Manhattan, I was skeptical going the daycare route. My husband and I considered the nanny option but just couldn't find the right person. My girlfriend recommended OCA so we decided to go for a tour and soon decided to enroll our little boy into their infant classroom. We were attracted to their newly renovated center and the fact that they were open until 7pm. So far our experience has been positive. It's been over 5 months and there has been many changes in the center. They have a new Director and Assistant Director who replaced a mother daughter team that used to be in there. I was a bit nervous because that seemed to be a major shake up but have noticed the new management are making many positive improvements. We are getting more constant emails from the director and they have hired many new teachers who seem to have a lot of experience. This is important to us as we are looking to have the little one continue on to their preschool program. My husband and I are pretty happy with the care and attention to detail by the caregivers. I have been able to list out my requested daily routine and they post it in the room. It's a 4:1 ratio in the room and they have been pretty consistent with the staff members they have in there. Safety seems to be top priority with them as they gave my mom a hard time the first time she came to pick up. Although she was on the pick up list, they required her to present ID (which she forgot to bring with her). After a phone call and email from me, grandma was allowed to pick up. Frustrating for my mom but somehow gave me piece of mind. All in all, although the most pricey in the area, the center offers a clean, safe and caring environment for my child. read more

This is long but I think you'll appreciate the honest review. My son has been attending here since he was 7 months old, I was very happy with the love and care he received from all the teachers and assistants over the years. All of the staff is sweet and patient and my son was happy and looked forward to going and excelled academically and socially. So thank you OCA. A special thank you for the assistant director Carmen, you are a lovely and special person and a friend in our life. Over the years though this daycare has had 3 different directors and their turnover rate of assistants is high. With each director new changes came along and seemed like classes were rearranged and kids were reorganized too many times. I went with flow but my son was almost always left behind. I was really upset when the previous director decided to transition some kids in my son's class to the next grade/level middle of the year and excluded my son and never told me about the change. For a while he came home sad everyday and was very apologetic and promising to be a good boy, I was very alarmed and through him and his limited language and communication skills at 3 years old I found out what had happened. I went to talk with the director and she told me to make room for new kids joining my son's age group she had to make room so she took all the kids that were closest to the cut off age in October and moved them up and because my son's birthday was 2 months after that he was not allowed to move up. I was so upset because most of his friends that moved up didn't meet the cutoff date either so why was my son excluded?! I was invited to all of his friends birthday parties and they were all born November/December. Not fair. I found it very unprofessional and sneaky to not even tell me about the change and when I insisted my son be moved up as well I was told "absolutely not" as there is no room in the new class. Really??! You magically created room for not 1 or 2 but 5 kids and now you can't accommodate 1 more kid. I'm sorry but that is bs and so unfair for my son who had been together with all those kids since he joined at 7 month old. She was not looking out for his well being and the psychological and emotional damage she was inflicting on him was unacceptable. The fact that he felt it was his fault all his friends left that angered me so deeply I withdrew him shortly after that. I feel that this director should have extended that courtesy to me especially since I never pressed legal charges after they failed to supervise and keep my son safe in the playground, he managed to open the gate and run out down the street, he was only 2 years old at the time. My son could've died or be lost forever that day. Thank god he was saved by this same director minutes after he ran, (I was shown the entire incident on videotape). I felt so grateful she saved him I decided not to report the incident to child services nor the police. Stupid me. Anyways, my son really missed everybody and begged everyday to go back to our Children's Academy so after 4 or 5 months I put him back and he was happy again to be back with his original friends and appropriate class. Then another new director came along. I only met with her a few times. My son's situation changed and was accepted to a public school program, he was attending both places for a week or 2 and he decided he doesn't want to go to the OCA anymore, so on his last day there I brought in fruit and cupcakes(that was approved by his teacher and the director) for his goodbye party. I get a phone call in the afternoon from the new director saying my son has had a rough day and said a bad word and now has other kids repeating this bad word so to punish/teach them there are consequences for bad behavior she tells me that they will still have the party but she won't give them the cupcakes. Seriously??!! I found this to be especially cruel, it's like being told you can have your wedding but no wedding cake, or you won't be allowed to wear a wedding dress. I still can't get over it, it's been weeks now since we left and I'm still so bitterly upset and can't understand it, I feel it's really harsh to deny 3 and 4 year old KIDS a mini cupcake at a PARTY that they were all looking forward to. Should they have been "punished" yes but she could have taken away a favorite activity, playground time, toys. Yes my son was wrong in saying a bad word and he should've been held accountable, but give the kid a break, he just turned 4, it's his LAST day there, and it's a party! Her actions left me feeling so sad for the kids and upset because I went out of my way to make time from my busy work schedule and $$ to go buy these special school safe cupcakes for everybody just to bring them back home and toss them in the garage. I'm not sure anymore if I would recommend the OCA but I want everyone to know the staff is very friendly, loving and caring and I felt comfortable leaving my child with them. read more

I have enrolled my son to OCA since he was 6 weeks old and this has been the best thing that I could have done for him while I am working. Friendly staff, experienced teachers, open/transparent policies and diverse enrichment programs make this place more than just an average daycare/preschool. read more

Our Children's Academy is horrible and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. If the Director and/or certain teachers decide that they don't like your child, they will target he/she to no end and will not stop until they drive you out of the school and leave your child feeling terrible. They will pull your child out of the classroom and make him/her sit in the office like an outcast for the entire day over the smallest infractions, depending on their mood that day. They will call you repeatedly while you are at work to tell you they think your child is terrible and demand that you drop everything and run to them on their command if they decide that they can't be bothered to deal with your child on a particular day. On multiple occasions, I received calls demanding I pick up my child for "bad behaviour" ; I would review the video footage and often times see other children attacking my child first and/or others participating in the same behavior that was deemed so terrible that my child had to leave for the day, yet I was the only parent being harassed with phone calls and demands while at work. When I asked why those other children were happily sitting in the room and having fun while mine was stuck in the office like a black sheep waiting to go home, I was told in a condescending tone to worry about my own child and not the others and leave. I hope my child hasn't suffered any permanent harm from the experience of being repeatedly targeted and ostracized by these people and made to feel terrible almost everyday he attended this daycare. There are a lot of daycare options in this area and I suggest all parents look elsewhere, otherwise you run the risk of your child becoming the next target of these people. read more

I have to agree with BS. I have my daughter at the daycare and there is NO communication between the teachers and the parents. You have to drop your child at the front door and someone will come to the front and take the kid to the back of the room. So you don't actually see any interaction between your child with other children and staff. When you pick up your child someone will bring him to the front and half of the time they are also bringing the wrong belongings to you. At the end of the day you get a report with regard to the activities your child is doing for the day. You pay a fee for arts and crafts but I have yet to see my child bringing home anything from the daycare. I am a little concerned whether she is learning at this place. The two stars is for the new facility and hours. Sorry they need to communicate better with parents . False promises read more

I wanted so badly for this to be a great school. Before OCA officially opened, I toured the campus and met with the owners and directors and walked away feeling like I had just hit the jackpot. The owners explained that they had opened OCA because they, too, were parents fed up with the daycare system and wanted OCA to be the difference. When I toured the school, I was impressed with the facility - it was very bright and cheery. It looked and felt like something different was going to happen there. When I found out how expensive it was, I was hesitant, but went ahead and took the chance because I had fallen in love with their vision. Before OCA opened, the owners explained that the high tuition costs were because the children's breakfast, lunches and snacks would be catered by an organic catering company, there would be school field trips, forward-thinking enrichment programs, and that the teachers would be high quality with none of them having less than a B.A. in Early Childhood Ed and pursuing their Masters. The bottom line is that this is a school that doesn't know how to be a school yet, but they are charging prices of a top-notch school simply because they know how to pitch that it is one. Makes zero sense. It quickly became the place that I would sit around and complain about with other parents. After being sold a dream, here's what I ACTUALLY ended up with: The Director: I could go on and on about the director, but I'll try to keep it short. She was a very condescending and passive aggressive person, often times snapping at simple questions or requests and treated her staff very inappropriately. I witnessed it myself on several occasions. One parent even told me she felt like she was bullied by the director. I complained to the owners about her a few times, but never got anywhere with that. So, good luck with speaking up and submitting complaints about things there. There was almost ZERO communication from administration to parents there. I found out SO many important things through the grapevine. There was a time when my daughter's teacher was out sick for a week and I was never told. I had to complain several times to get them to email me when her teacher was out, also letting me know who would be replacing her. Until I complained about it, parents were not informed of staff changes (I will get into the awful teacher turnover rate shortly). So, I would find out that my daughter had a new teacher or assistant teacher when one of them would bring her to me at pick up time. No formal email, no nothing. And even after I complained and suggested that the administration alert ALL parents, they still didn't - and only emailed me directly as if I was some especially needy parent. I had to demand that the administration have the new teachers and assistants introduce themselves when they started because I would often times be handed my child by someone I'd never seen or heard of. Now, the turnover rate - put it this way: my daughter was there for a year and had 4 different teachers and countless assistant teachers. It was ridiculous. It seemed like every time I showed up to pick her up, there was some strange person handing her off to me. This means one thing - THE TEACHERS WERE NOT HAPPY. It got to the point where they were so low on good staff that they had to have one of the better teachers teaching two classes at the same time. I was told she would go back and forth between the two classes all day. I met with the director about this and she tried to convince me that this was a good idea because the teacher was not needed in the other classes during her down time when the students were doing art projects, etc. Now, my response to that was - and I'm paying you HOW MUCH again?? For my child to be sharing a teacher because you can't keep good people? I pulled my daughter out shortly after that. The food was NEVER catered. The staff prepared the sub-par meals which included jelly sandwiches, chicken nuggets and beans and rice. There was more, but it was the same menu day after day, week after week and none of it was particularly healthy. What REALLY upset me about this was that the owners or directors NEVER communicated to the parents that the food was not catered. I had to find this out from a staff member. When I confronted the owner she told me it had 'slipped their minds' to tell parents. And even after I let them know how unacceptable that was, they NEVER sent notice to any of the other parents. So, when I'd be speaking to parents in passing after that, I'd mention that the food wasn't catered and I kept getting, "WHAT?! Are you kidding me?!" So, I guess it really wasn't about it slipping their minds - they simply didn't want anyone to know. Imagine thinking your child is getting healthy, organic catered meals and they're NOT! My daughter was there for a year and did not go on ONE field trip. In all, I would say these people had good intensions with really a bad execution of all of them. read more

First impression excellent.... Final impression BAD! They only talk nice, but underneath they are very unpleasant and dishonest people. Do yourself and especially your child a favor and look for another place. Very disappointing. read more

BY FAR this place might be one of the best I have seen, materials are brand new, very clean classrooms, and very welcoming staff. I was greeted immediately upon entering and the tour of the school was very nice. It seems that they genuinely care for the kids and this is something that is very important. I am for sure going to look more into this place. read more

Unfortunately this school does not live up to what it promises. I just took my children out of this school. Both of them were very unhappy there. Most of the staff is friendly and warm but the director is very difficult to deal with and mean to her staff. She is extremely rude and condescending to everyone. I don't hear from the school's administration much beyond getting the lunch menu emailed to me once a week. There is barely any communication at all. When problems arise, the administration tries to cover it up instead of alerting parents. Opportunities for parents to be included in activities and programs is almost non-existent. The teacher turnover rate is unacceptable. In the few months my eldest son was there he had four different teachers and countless assistant teachers. I was told by a former teacher that all of the teachers and staff leave because of how they are treated by the director. Right now because their teacher turnover is so high they have one teacher teaching multiple classes. The teacher quality is also unacceptable. In all I would give this place a C-. I really wanted this school to work because it is in a great convenient area and looks new and clean on the inside but the operation of this school is very mid to low level. It certainly should not be one of the most expensive schools in the area but it is and they just raised tuition. The only good thing they have going for them is that they close at 7pm. Other than that, they are very run of the mill. This is a new school so they are still trying to figure themselves out. My advice would be to hold off on enrolling your children in this school until they have found their way. They are far from it right now. I hope they change things soon. read more
