    As parents, my wife and I feel truly grateful for the experience our daughter had at this school…read moreover the past five years, from Nido to Casa 5. It has been such a meaningful journey for our family. We've watched our daughter grow step by step -- becoming more confident, emotionally aware, and socially comfortable in ways we will always appreciate. The teachers have been incredibly supportive and kind throughout. They've taken the time to really understand her, guiding her with patience and care while also encouraging independence and curiosity. We've always felt welcome and well-informed as parents, and communication has been clear and reassuring. Over the years, our daughter has taken part in recitals, science fairs, and different performances, each one helping build confidence and creating joyful memories. It's been beautiful to see her enjoy learning and express herself so freely. We are also very thankful for the approach, which has created such a calm, respectful, and child-focused environment. It has allowed our daughter to learn at her own pace and develop a genuine love for learning, rather than just focusing on results. Most of all, we want to sincerely thank Ms. Rushani for her outstanding leadership as Director. Her experience, knowledge, and understanding are clearly reflected in every part of the school. She leads with care and intention, and it has made a real difference in our daughter's early education. We are leaving with full hearts and deep appreciation for everything this school has given our daughter and our family.

    We had such an unfortunate experience at this school. My son started here when he was an infant,…read moreunable to communicate with the going ons of his day were. As he grew older and able to communicate more with gestures, he would direct me away from the school when I was driving to drop him off. He would have severe meltdowns at drop off every morning. Initially, I thought it was separation anxiety and continued to encourage him to go to the school. After the director and teacher complained that he was too advanced for the two-year-old class at two years old they placed him in the three-year-old class. (I've since learned this is a common thing in this type of school) They then began to complain that he was not meeting the expectations developmentally. We were told he was choosing to go to the bathroom " outside of the scheduled bathroom time" which is insane considering he is two years old and potty trained. He should be able to go to the bathroom whenever he feels like he needs to. We were being told that we didn't " discipline" him enough at home, given there were two of us (which also wasn't true because my son's father was deployed at this time). We hired a behavioral therapist company to work with him in the program, which is when we discovered that the teachers and director at the school were treating my son horribly. Multiple staff members from our behavioral agency noted that they were making disrespectful and rude comments to the children. Asking the therapists if they can make my child "shut up" & Placing inappropriate expectations on them that were outside of their developmental appropriate age. The director herself lied directly to our face saying the teachers were using resources that we provided to support them, such as timers for transitions and token economies for following directions. We were told " we don't really do that here, but we will to see if it works" when we pulled our child out of the program due to our agency, calling us with severe concerns of maltreatment (the ABA company genuinely called and said if you can remove him from this school tomorrow you should), we requested our items back. Then we were told by the school they didn't even have these items anymore (which is crazy because 24 hours prior they lied directly to my face saying they were using them daily) If I could scream from the rooftops not to bring your child to this program, I would. If not only for the safety of your child's mental health. It took several years for my child to be able to trust schools and adults again. He would absolutely shake in terror around anyone with a British/Indian accent similar to Mrs Rushani. He's now in first grade at a public school in general education and thriving thankfully. He required a lot of love and understanding to trust school again. It was a long recovery from the treatment he received at this horrible school. 0 stars.
