My 3-year-old daughter speaks only Spanish and had never been cared for by anyone outside of our…read morefamily. I first enrolled her at Coastal Hope Academy (formerly Kids City USA), and after three weeks of trying, there was little to no improvement. She cried throughout the day, and I was repeatedly told that this was normal behavior. After the owner suggested that we stop speaking Spanish at home, I decided it was time to find a different environment for her. We transferred her to Ellison Acres Preschool, and what a difference it has made. From the very first day, my daughter was a completely different child. She would come home excitedly comparing the two schools, telling me how this one has so many toys, colorful chairs, a more comfortable place to nap, and how much fun she was having. What stands out the most is how the teachers make every effort to communicate with her and include her in activities, despite the language barrier. At her previous school, she often seemed isolated and as though she did not belong. Here, she feels welcomed, supported, and happy. The tuition is also more affordable, saving us about $60 per week. Another thing I truly appreciate is receiving a summary of her day, which allows me to know what she has been learning and doing. As a parent, that means so much. I am incredibly grateful for the teachers and staff at Ellison Acres Preschool. Seeing my daughter excited to go to school each morning has been such a relief, and I wanted to share our positive experience with other families who may be searching for the right place for their child. Thank you for the great care of my most value possession. Xio.
