So glad we were given the recommendation. We decided to enroll in summer camp this year and it was great. A lot of the area schools were only doing in-house camps and not going anywhere. However, Excel usually has a field trip every day. This is some thing we loved because it gave my son an opportunity to be out instead of just indoors. It certainly made it a lot more interesting. I know he likes all the teachers and staff at Excel. He also loves the food choices that they have each day. We loved it so much that we are going to attend aftercare this year. We will likely be back for summer camp next year. My son is 7 and there were several kids his age in attendance. The director, Lisa is very nice. I'm so happy we found Excel!

My kids and I had a very unpleasant experience with Excel Academy. My kids stayed there from Nov…read more2019 to Mar 2020 (the 4 year old stayed for after school, while the 2 year old stayed full time. Both 3 days/week). This is what I experienced - I came back to the U.S. from my home country at beginning of March 2020. The school forced my kids to be quarantined because I traveled from a high risk country - which I understood. But they rejected to refund the prorated March tuition. In fact they closed right after my kids finished quarantine, and we paid for the whole Mar but only had a chance to go for a few days. Then I decided to withdraw my kids from the school. They rejected to return the deposit (around 500). The reason given was 'the school does not have much cash flow'. Considering small business was facing the risk of bankrupt during the pandemic, I decided to wait. I waited till Sept. Upon my enquiry, they refunded me the deposit. However, about $120 was deducted for 'late pick up fee'. They created a long list of my husband's late pickup on many days, however, neither before the 'late pick up' happened nor after, did we receive any notification on the policy or late pickup charge. That was ridiculous. My kids had stayed with White's Chapel preschool, Trinity church preschool, with each of them clearly announced the rule and gave notifications on the charge once it happened. So we were 'charged' by 127 minutes without even being informed. That was a trick. The front desk Miss Nina is a difficult person to work with. She either has a habit to creat obstacles or she's executing what she was told to. For the kids - Neither of them liked the school. They were happy with all the other 3 schools they attended but not this one. The feedbacks were : the teachers were mean. From my observation, the 2 year old class teacher was basically busy with daily care, like diaper change. She was too busy to teach. My kid (turned 3 year old during her stay) did not bring much art or paper home. The toys in the class were mainly baby toys. The 4 year old after school program - I sent my kids to this school because they promoted a Chinese lesson as enrichment, but it only lasted for 1 month. My 4 year old said her teacher was cold. On Christmas, I helped her make a card for her teacher. She brought it to school and brought it back. She did not give it to her teacher. I asked why. She said, the teacher was not nice to her. What would make a kid make a card but not want to give it out? When i picked them up, I sometimes heard one sub teacher was yelling. Both kids wanted to stop going. Because I had a travel plan, I could not move them before I left. Recently, when I drove by the school, the kids still said I dont like Excel Academy.

**Copying this from my Google review**…read more All in all, this school started as a dream and turned into a nightmare. I have waited so long to write this review and am now so happy to be able to do so. I really wish I could give zero, or even negative stars, but I have to give one. Simply put, don't let these people near your children. My sons attended LSP and my older son was horribly mistreated. A teacher- who had been complained about by multiple other teachers- smothered him to keep him from crying at nap time. He has said it happened more than once. After becoming aware of this and bringing it to the attention of the Assistant Director, Tia (NOW THE DIRECTOR!), we found out that they were already aware of it and had failed to inform us. It turned out multiple teachers had complained to Tia and the then-director, Kelley, about this woman's behavior with students. We also found out from staff that Kathy, the "head teacher" was telling the then-two year olds, that monsters and skeletons were going to come and get them and the Big Bad Wolf was going to blow their houses down if they were bad. This definitely explained some nightmares our son (and others, we were told) suffered from. Staff turnover was so bad that at times I had no idea who was with my children. I picked them up one day and a girl I'd never seen before said "which one is ___?" It turned out he wasn't even in the classroom. Somehow he'd ended up in another room and she had no clue because she didn't even know who he was. Their DFPS records show toddlers left outside alone, teachers dropping children onto cots, and failure to report incidents, among other issues. Do your homework and read their reports. When we first found LSP, we loved it. We were so happy to have our son, and then sons, there. The old director, Chandler, was incredible. Unfortunately, after Chandler left the school fell apart. Corporate leadership didn't seem to care at all and has not once inquired about our son or our family. When we were able to secure new care and left, Kerri, their area director, tried to intimidate us into staying by telling us she had heard terrible things about the school we were going to (I still don't know how she found out where we were going, because I didn't tell her). UPDATE: I've now received an email from Abby, the COO at Little Sunshine's, containing veiled threats if I don't take down this review. Her primary threat is to respond to the review, disparaging me and my family, and I'm happy to address it. The fact that LSP only cares now that this review is affecting business, says everything. Yes, we filed a lawsuit and ultimately made the decision to file a notice of non-suit, which does not mean we dropped the suit. It means that our son can sue personally at a later date if he feels it is the right decision for him, and it also means that if further trauma from these incidents is uncovered, the suit can be reopened. The reason for that is that it was for our son's good. Little Sunshine's offered us a small settlement that came along with a non-disclosure agreement stating I would remove everything negative I've ever posted or reviewed about them, and that I would not tell anyone else about this ever. To challenge that settlement would have required going to trial, which would have been an extremely traumatic experience for my son. Our decision was that Little Sunshine's had already hurt him enough, and we wouldn't let them put him through months or even years of analysis, interviews, and attacks on his family. Absolutely no amount of money would have been enough for us to put our child through that. I also felt that it was not worth other parents not being able to learn about what they did to us. Parents deserve to know the things that happen where they leave their children. The incident with my son was investigated by DFPS and the then-Director's lack of response to it is noted on the Texas DFPS site. I will also note that I didn't post this review until after we filed the notice of non-suit because it made me so angry that they demanded I hide this from other parents.

Everyday after school, they pick up my daughter at Hidden Lakes Elementary School in Keller and bring her back to the school.

Overall, I am very happy that my daughter can attend here.

Hola! I found this place via Groupon. I had been wanting to…read morestart learning Spanish (again), so I was glad I came across this opportunity. I had taken some Spanish classes in school, but the old adage, "if you don't use it, you lose it", is certainly true. Besides having taken those Spanish classes MANY years ago, I just never used it outside of school. Now more than ever, I really want to learn Spanish. I want to USE my Spanish. And I want to be able to communicate with Spanish speakers here and abroad. So that is what I'm doing... I'm beginning to learn all over again. ...And the process to get started was VERY easy. I called the number, spoke with Karina (the owner - who is a very lovely person, btw), told her about my Spanish speaking experience, and she told me when and where. I first began taking classes once a week, but now I am taking them twice a week. (You have the option to do either). I have had the same teacher the entire time, and she is a wonderful lady as well, Martha. I am in a small group. It is more of a tutoring environment, which I find to be much more conducive to learning. It doesn't matter what level you are at, they have a class for everyone. If you can't even count to 5 in Spanish...there is a class for you. If you speak a little Spanish or are advanced....they have a place for you also. They make sure that you are in a group where you feel comfortable with the level of Spanish that you are learning, so you don't feel overwhelmed or not being pushed enough (if that is what you desire). They offer Spanish classes for children also. I don't know much about these, as I have no children...but I do know, when I happen to glance in on their classroom while I'm going to mine, or happen to see them leaving, they sound and look happy. They also have a user friendly website. I pay for my class through that website, and it takes less than a minute to make the payment. Overall, it is a good learning and practicing environment. The teachers are helpful and enthusiastic. They have a great energy. I honestly have ZERO complaints about this program! Don't hold yourself back...if you've thought about learning Spanish...give this program a try!
