When she first started in the Lion room, she'd cry because she was so use to being with either my mom or myself but there was a teacher that really helpful in calming her down. After her birthday she was moved to the K3 class, Bee room. I absolutely loved her teacher, Ms Lyn & so did my daughter. Daily reports were something I loved. My daughter learned so much & was always happy to go. The classrooms and building in general were always clean. Kids were always either playing or focused. I never had an issue with somebody bullying my baby. They were everything I want for my child. Caring teachers, friendly kids, clean facility, with a good curriculum. I was always able to go to work knowing my baby was well taken care of. Boy do I miss this daycare.

DAYS before the school year starts her mother was informed that she is no longer "deemed eligible" for the school year because (and I quote), "Due to the students need's and level of services that were outlined in the IEP that we do not currently service or have resources to accommodate." All of her siblings were accepted along with her but now DAYS before the school year starts she is now "deemed ineligible". Almost all schools are now full and it's next to impossible to find her a school DAYS before the year starts. all of her necessary information was handed in back in June. They did not inform her mother about needing a special scholarship. They also told her that they do not provide peer support or help with writing. A woman working at the school said (and I quote), "Your daughter will never obtain the credits she would need by high school because she has these special needs."This is a faith based college prep school. Where is the faith in that statement? You would think that with the school claiming that they are "faith based" that they would show some kind of compassion. My poor niece has been kicked out on the street. I'm livid right now!

No, it's so much better to talk about feelings and learning to knit. Parents who send their kids here are doing their children a huge disservice.

The instructor was dressed completely inappropriately for a fitness class -- not something you'd expect at a respected community space. It made the environment feel uncomfortable and unwelcoming.On top of that, she looked like she was dancing for herself, not actually leading or engaging with the class. There was no guidance, no energy, and definitely no connection with the students.As someone new to the Whitefish Bay area, I was hoping to find a great community and possibly join as a member. But after this experience, I'll definitely be looking elsewhere. This class did not reflect the values or professionalism I expected from the JCC.I will not recommend this class to anyone
