This school left my daughter with a very negative and traumatic first experience in education. She…read morebegan Pre-K here at just four years old, full of excitement to attend school and make friends. Unfortunately, she was placed in Ms. Winn and Mr. Robert's class, and from the very beginning, she became fearful and distressed. Each morning on the way to school, she would cry, and at home, she expressed that her teachers were unkind. She shared that when she cried, Ms. Winn yelled directly in her face, saying, "Stop crying, you're annoying me," and even smacked her hand once. There were multiple occasions where I picked her up, and she looked completely defeated and unhappy. When I asked how her day went, she would respond with only "okay," offering no details. After sitting her down to talk, she admitted, "My teachers are just really mean and yell at us all the time. I don't like going to school." As a parent, this was heartbreaking. School should not only be a place to learn and grow but also a safe environment where children feel nurtured and cared for. Parents place tremendous trust in teachers, and when that trust is broken, it has lasting effects. No one should take on the responsibility of teaching if they do not have the patience, compassion, and genuine care required to guide young children. My daughter was terrified to start Kindergarten because of this experience. Thankfully, she quickly realized not all teachers are the same. She now has a wonderful teacher who shows kindness, encouragement, and patience--everything a young child deserves. She wakes up excited every morning, eager to learn and share about her day, and it has completely restored her love for school. These are the educators who deserve recognition and appreciation--not those who treat children as an inconvenience or are "just there for a paycheck."

If I could leave no stars I would. The old ownership of the Gambles changed and the commitment to…read morethe children has changed as well. My children are now always sick. My 2 year old son has had his stomach pumped because of the lack of caution in his dairy ALLERGY(not intolerance) and feedings. I received a call to pick him up immediately because of his vomiting after eating barbecue chicken. Took him to the doctor and had his stomach checked. They found cheese. When confronting the new owner/director I was told 'he must've gotten the cheese pizza from another child's plate.' How disgusting. No empathy for my child's SAFETY. HE COULD HAVE DIED. 'Teachers' and 'Care Takers' are ever changing at ASKA. You can not get used to one face or new name for too long! If your child is injured- you may OR may not get an incident report sent home about it. You'll just find open wounds and get a story from your child about it(if your toddler is expressive). And when you ask the DIRECTORS, they either can't find the report or don't have one on hand. They explain that it will be sent home with the child at the end of the day... yup, you guessed it, it never shows. Bleach. Both of our children came home with a small fortune of clothes damaged from bleach. When I confronted the owner/director about it -- I was given $50 off of the following payment coming up. I asked for the money because I had to replace clothes. I even brought the receipts to the school AND sent them in an email. How inconsiderate to only offer a kickback on a payment far less than what I pay for each of my kids to attend. Children's clothes are expensive. Bullying. My daughter was bullied for about a month. I had no knowledge from the staff that it was the same student repeatedly scratching her face up or tearing and stretching her clothes. My daughter told me. And when we had a 'sit down' with the staff and director(after the 3rd mark on her body), I was told that if something happens again the student would be removed from the facility. Why does it take so long? We've had our children in ASKA for years. That clearly meant nothing. Graduation. We had our daughter attend the Pre-K program here because we didn't want to take her from her friends that she's been with since age 2. Ms. Williams was the absolute best teacher I've experienced at this facility. She's solely the reason the kids can read and write. I honestly hope she goes somewhere she's appreciated and cherished on school staff. Graduation was INTERESTING at ASKA. They don't want your kids to dress up. We were asked to put them on a white shirt and blue slacks(girls included). Our children were provided T-Shirts. No caps and gowns. When I asked the owner/director about this gray area she explained that the state doesn't pay for it so they will not honor it. What a waste of a title for a 'Private School'. Newsflash-- 'Nice' new ownership is not the same as courteousness ownership. My children's tuition is always paid AHEAD of time. In full. This is trashy treatment from a place that truthfully charges a lot for the area and calls themselves a 'Private School'. We can not wait for our son to start Preschool and continue Pre-K at another facility. The new family ownership is nice... but their negligence in dealing with the children attending, as well as their unsafe practices with the use of chemicals during the day leads me to believe they may not be in business long unless they change their policies and acts. Take your children somewhere else. Cause we most definitely did.

I can't speak highly enough of All Star Kids Academy! Since the new owners took over, it's been…read morenothing short of amazing. They've really elevated the daycare experience, putting children's development and safety at the forefront. The space itself has been beautifully upgraded, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that both kids and parents can feel good about. One thing that really stands out to me is the incredible focus on the kids. I've noticed a huge difference in how attentive the staff are. The new policy of no phones while on duty means that teachers can give their full attention to the children, which I truly appreciate. It's clear that the staff genuinely care about the kids and their well-being, and that's not something you always find in daycare settings. The new owner is genuinely passionate about her work, and I believe her love for children truly shines through. With four kids of her own, she has a deep understanding of what parents need and what children thrive on. What's more, she's always approachable and responsive. If there's ever a concern or question, she investigates promptly and goes above and beyond to ensure that parents feel heard and supported. It's refreshing to know that she's always on the side of the parents. With the owners' dedication, the supportive staff, and the great cooperation between parents, I have no doubt that All Star Kids Academy will continue to grow and improve. I am truly delighted with the care and attention my child receives here and highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a place where their child's safety, development, and happiness are top priorities. I have recommended this increasingly to people in my space and none has come back disappointed.
