They really care about the students! I also love that each year they have a Dad's Night and a Mom's Night. These nights are so special. I get to visit her school and she gets to show me everything and introduce me to everyone. They have a lot of games that center around the two of us working together. A really great bonding time for parent and child. I also appreciate that they will play outside as long as there isn't inclement weather. This means that they still get some playground time in the winter. And, as all parents know, you need to get outdoors as much as possible in the winter time to blow off some of that excess energy. The pickup and drop-off traffic can be pretty crazy, so I usually just park across the street in the overflow lot and walk over. Much easier than waiting in line. This preschool has a lottery to enroll. I have no idea if that is really common these days, but I was surprised. Luckily we made it in. As long as one sibling is enrolled then other siblings can enroll too and bypass the lottery. They offer 2-day and 3-day with morning or afternoon start times. The 2-day is Monday and Friday. The 3-day is Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Class is in session from September to May. Trust me, you and your child will love this preschool.

I have nothing but positive things to say about AAK! We enrolled our daughter (21 months at the…read moretime) about 4.5 months ago and our son started at 14 weeks back at the end of January. We've been extremely pleased so far with the care they're receiving. Our daughter is really thriving. She transitioned from an in-home facility, so it was a big change for her. They do such a great job of balancing letting them play and go wild while also keeping structure and learning. She naps well, eats well, plays well, and is constantly learning new things. Her teachers have also been a huge help recently with potty training! The teachers in her class are on the younger side and have the energy it takes to run around with a bunch of two year olds all day Our son is doing well too! He's been napping well, he's getting his bottles on time, and is a pretty happy little guy every evening when we pick him up. The primary teachers in his classroom are ladies who have likely already raised their families. They are very loving and affectionate and also have the patience it takes to deal with crying babies most of the day A HUGE selling point for us is the camera system. Personally, I cannot even begging to put a price on the peace of mind I get from being able to check in on my kids whenever I want. Whether I am just missing them or want to check in for other reasons (has my daughter peed her pants and had to change clothes today? Ha) it is really really beneficial. Each day we get a paper for each child that says when they went to the bathroom/had their diaper changed, when they napped, when and what they ate, etc. For control freaks like me, this is great. I'm a "the more information the better" person. Anytime we have had comments/suggestions, they've been addressed and implemented immediately. For instance, we asked if our daughter's teachers could give us more feedback on her days and they immediately started writing little "high/low" recaps on her papers for us. We asked if they could give her a late afternoon/early evening snack to help with her "hangriness" on the car ride home and that same day they started an additional snack. Long story short, we have most certainly not been disappointed with our choice!

Overall not a great experience for us personally. Some teachers are absolutely amazing (especially…read moreinfant room and age 2) but the preK room was a mess this past year with a ton of turnover from the teachers to the point where I didn't even know who was in my child's classroom. Then one teacher decided to hit on my husband which made him super uncomfortable and he refused to do dropoffs for quite some time. My kid is far from perfect which we know and understand but they had me convinced there were serious issues at play so we put my child into therapy and had them tested for ADHD and personality/behavior disorders. All the tests came back negative and the therapist and counselor couldn't figure out why we were there since my child was considered a normal 5 year old testing boundaries and understanding feelings. My child has attended many birthday parties and they are always praised for being the best behaved child there and we have few to no issues at home. All poor behavior seems to be related to AAK. There are cameras in the room so you can check in often but the teachers rarely have control of the classroom and they are often on their phones which I brought up to the front desk staff multiple times to no avail. The high turnover for the room also results in teachers with various discipline styles and not always age appropriate. I have saved all communication with the center and I have an email from the center telling me that they believe in ignoring bad behavior which is why they don't talk to my child when they are upset. While I understand the concept, this often led to escalation that could have been avoided by verbal communication and respect. One discipline action was to have the child write "I will not disrespect my teacher" over and over again.... Did I mention this is a 4&5 classroom where they can't read yet? In another example After the news shared about a school shooting my child came home and said that the teacher told them that happened because kids didn't behave!!! I was furious on that one as my child was convinced misbehavior led to getting shot. When my child was finally expelled for violence we never received a written letter nor an incident report but instead were just told on the phone that my child wasn't welcomed back. The other parents and I have a group text and no one heard the same story of what happened and I still don't know what all happened that day (I imagine the truth is somewhere in the middle of what the center, the kids (including the other involved student), and my own child have told me). Based on the other reviews on here I imagine the daycare will reply back back blaming me and my child as they usually do but I just recommend any new parents talk to other parents before enrolling and talk to parents with children in the upper classrooms who have had experiences. We were there 5 years before my child was expelled and as a result I also pulled my second younger child which is a shame because they loved their teachers. But I just couldn't risk them ending up in the same situation as the older sibling. If you do go here I also recommend Not letting your child move up classrooms early as they get bored quite easily and routines are the same. My child was in the last classroom since 3.5yrs old (even though its a 4&5 room) and they were learning the same things at 3.5 as 5.5yrs so there is no division in the class for different coursework based on age or intellect. We have since moved to a new daycare and my eldest is doing amazing!! They are being challenged intellectually, have had no behavioral issues, and are loved by their teachers: Either the change in centers changed my child or nothing about my child changed but the issue was with AAK. I debated posting a review but its important that parents to talk to parents. Everyone will likely have a different experience and I'm sure some people will have a wonderful 5 years there but this was just our experience and even if we are an outlier I felt it needed to be shared.

The space is on a quiet street behind and auto store which my wife hated. She was not a fan at first until she started getting unprompted comprehensive reports about our sons day. I start getting text from her like "I really like this place". What I like most is that it is not a warehouse for kids with vouchers. There are lots of private pay kids which is important for a number of reasons. I don't like that there is no diversity here. There are really only black kids and I want my son to know there are more than just black people in the world. His friend circle is very multicultural so this environment is a let down in that regard. The teachers use the Kumon learning program and its all the rave. I can see a change in my son. He has become much more vocal and seems to really enjoy it now as he reaches for the teachers now as opposed to the routine meltdown. The inside is clean and organized and the staff are all professional. Plus,it is the least expensive daycare I have found given the caliber.

She's happy when I pick her up, she's clean, and she's coming home singing songs that she learned in schpol. I couldn't be more happy with this center and I'm so glad I made the choice to trust them with my daughter! You ladies are amazing!!

My 15 month old was in this program from August until September. We had multiple issues. Despite…read moremultiple complaints of our son being dehydrated after the school day, they continued to keep his drinks up on a shelf without access to it. They were logging multiple dry diapers, but still did not seem to understand how important it is to offer fluids constantly to a toddler. Every time my husband and I came in at different times and no drinks were available to any of the children. He would come home and guzzle 13 ounces of milk in one sitting. He seemed less like himself when he came home and very fussy. The first time I complained then they told me he didn't like the cups and wouldn't drink out of them! I was shocked that I wasn't notified and instantly provided cups. The second time they assured me that they would offer his drink more and said they realized he was trying to reach his cup and did pull it down for him. However, after a couple of days, he would come home thirsty again and water bottles that had been filled for him would come home untouched (despite dry diapers on the app). Also, there were a couple times, he had a dirty diaper when arriving and a diaper rash after being there. Additionally, after picking my child up and having no notification, I saw he had been bitten twice very severely on his forearm and by the back of the elbow. An incident report conveniently was made after I called. However, when I spoke to the teacher she said she was so sorry and hadn't noticed anything (how could there be an incident report then and how could you not notice his screaming/crying). The teachers would be playing rap music when I arrived or my husband arrived and would quickly change it to pop music (still not age appropriate!). They have closed once already due to shortage of staff. I do believe management has the best intentions, but I don't think there is follow through with the staff. We had no curriculum updates and the food menu wasn't posted for the majority of the time. Unfortunately, we paid a lot for this program and felt that it didn't meet the standards it claimed, and that our son suffered from being there.
