She loves Sullivan!! Her teachers are kind, she has made so many friends, and the cherry on top... she loves the school lunch!! I see kids with pink, blue, and green hair, and the teachers don't give them a hard time. I love this because it teaches children to embrace their individuality. Thank you, Sullivan, you guys are doing a great job! Mr. Fonte & Ms. Escalera, you make my baby want to go to school every day... If my baby is happy, I'm happy!

I am beyond annoyed with this school! I was not happy with their CONNECT program my daughter was…read morein. Before she started this program she NEVER brought home a grade lower than a B. This program is all computer based. The students don't get taught by the teachers. It is all independent study and they don't get assigned homework. As soon as I saw that her grades were slipping I had SEVERAL conversations with her teachers who told me not to worry and that all students were struggling. The teacher insisted I do not pull her out of the program and emailed me all these articles about the program promising me that my daughter will be better off staying in. WELL NOW SHE IS IN JEOPARDY OF BEING RETAINED because she did not pass the STAAR exam. She had to go to summer school and retake the STAAR and I can't even access her scores because the access code I was given is NOT working. This program is a huge disappointment and a big JOKE! I hope other parents read this so they are warned before their child goes through what my child is going through now. Another very suspicious thing I noticed is that my daughter brought home her report card with letter grades (P=Pass & F=Failed). Now when I go online I noticed those letter grades have all been replaced with numerical grades. I have printed copies of both. I think this school is doing very shady business and is intentionally misleading parents so that they can get get extra money for student assistance programs.

This saddens me to write and leave such a disturbing review for a well known and established…read morecompany that has been in trusted with the absolute most important role/job in existence to mankind; to care, to protection, and assist in the growth and development of our youth; our children. However, I'm compelled and daunted with the task of having to leave this review in hopes of preventing this from happening to other trusting parents and guardians. It is not my intent to damage or destroy Hope's Academy & Childcare. However, this is my attempt to shine the light on & bring attention to one rotten apple in the disguise of a childcare provider, employed at Hope's Academy by the name of Kimberley Hall. Ms. Hall was in-trusted with the care of my niece, who recently just started attending Hope's Academy. What seemed to be a saving grace for my little sister, the mother of my niece (who is also a single parent) quickly transpired into a nightmare. Ms. Hall approached my sister with an unbelievable offer for her 8 year old daughter to attend Hope's Academy's summer program. The offer was such a great deal that my sister did not hesitate to jump on. For $75 a week my niece was able to attend Hope's Academy 5 days a week. On June 9, 2023 my sister was contacted by Ms. Hall in the early morning hours to inform her that the building was having power outages and the facility would be closed for business. When my sister asked for a refund for that day due to Hope's Academy not rendering service that had been paid for. Ms. Hall told my sister that she would not be getting her money back and would have to find her own daycare service/provider for that day! By the way Ms. Hall had set up the payment arrangements to be made directly to her personal cash app.. The following week (my nieces 3rd week attending) my sister paid $75 via cash app to Ms. Hall's personal account on Saturday, June 17, 2023. Due to personal reasons my niece would no longer be attending Hope's Academy. This information was made available to Ms. Hall by my sister that Sunday, June 18, 2023, the day after payment was made and received by Ms. Hall and the day before the start of the new childcare week. When my sister asked for a refund of the $75 the very next day on Sunday, June 18, 2023. Ms. Hall did not respond until the following day, Monday, June 19, 2023 and stated that she had a family emergency and wouldn't be able to refund my sister until that Friday, on June 23, 2023. When my sister insisted that she needed her refund immediately and would make contact with the facility's director in hopes of settling the matter. Ms. Hall was deceitful stating that she was the director of Hope's Academy & Childcare, leaving my sister to believe that she had no other options. As of today,June 23, 2023, Ms. Hall has not returned/refunded my sister's $75 nor did my niece attend one day out the week. After reaching out directly to the facility, is how we learned that Ms. Hall is not the director of Hope's Academy & Childcare located 16233 Clay road. Suite 300, Houston, TX 77084. In fact the very helpful person that we spoke with on the phone informed us that the facility doesn't allow the workers to personally accept childcare payments and the Academy accepts Zelle not cash app. Also, is was disturbingly alarming to learn that my niece wasn't in their system as an attendee, the cost per week is $150 not $75, which led us to believe that she had my niece most likely attending under her family discount (at no coast) or at a low discounted rate. Nonetheless, there is obviously a loophole within the company to where Ms. Hall has constructed a way to take advantage of the company as well as the parents and guardians of the children attending. This type of person should not be working around children or giving the important responsibility of participating in teaching and caring for our innocent children. A person that is intentionally deceitful and a thief should not be employed at Hope's Academy & Childcare. How was this possible?

After being discouraged and told to aim low by a competing college advisory firm, At Home Tutoring Service encouraged my child to aim high, and my child ended up at my child's first choice Ivy League school. Details: After feeling that I had wasted a sizable flat fee with competing college advisory firm Doran & Scalora (see review of that firm for details), I hired Alexander Wax on an hourly basis after my child's junior year of high school. From the start, Alexandra Wax encouraged my child to aim high, shared insights about college communities that would be a fit or not, identified admissions departments' preferences to guide essay drafting, and provided constructive criticism that pushed by child to produce creative and thoughtful essays. Alexandra's advice always made sense and reflected extensive experience and a broad network of admissions officers. The few times I asked why Alexandra had made a certain recommendation, Alexandra easily explained her reasoning, citing inside sources as well as publicly available information. My child loved working with Alexandra and remained excited and motivated throughout the college application process. I feel Alexandra's service was invaluable and worth-every-penny-and-more! I plan to hire At Home Tutoring Service again when my next child is ready to apply to college.

Also, the majority of the staff is good, it is clean and director is willing work the parents to meet the needs of their children. However, when you are a parent and you are trying to balance active/interactive parenting, work,school and family the last thing you need is to be in multiple meetings and worry about topics that should be already in place (diet, safety, curricula).
