If you're cool with blatant discrimination, this is the school for you!!…read more In January of 2016, I inquired about after school care for my daughter. I was told there was availability and that I should come by and tour the school and pick up an application. Sweet! Oh until I mentioned that my daughter was in a wheelchair. ::record screeeeeech:: Then I was told there was actually a small wait list....it must have slipped the front office administrator's mind...but hey it happens. So we get on the wait list and call to check in from time to time only to be told "there's just one more child ahead of her" time and time again. After several months we talk directly with the owner and straight up ask her if there's an issue with my child being admitted because she's in a wheelchair. She assured us this was absolutely not the case and our child would be the very next one admitted once an opening became available. So TWO YEARS (because apparently this is the Harvard of after school care) go by and within that time we managed to find another place for her until that spot opens up. We actually let it go for a while since we found a nice program that had no issue with meeting her needs, and ultimately that's what we were looking for, but kept her on the list just in case. However today we randomly saw the owner again and asked her about it. She ACTUALLY said no child has been admitted in the LAST TWO YEARS. Like those words actually came out of her mouth. I don't know about you, but that sounds awfully suspicious. I'm bringing this up now in the hopes that they will take a look at themselves and ask what they are getting out of denying kids with disabilities. That and so they can thoroughly brush up on the rules and regulations of the ADA Act. Just in case they need a resource, here is a link to show just how illegally discriminatory they are. https://www.ada.gov/childqanda.htm We are also in the process of working with ADA advocates in regards to this so you can also ask them any questions you may have once they contact you. Have a blessed day. I mean that as sarcastically as possible.

I hate to have to make this review but I would want to know these things as a parent. My daughter…read morestarted at this location when she was only 2 months old. We stayed until she was almost 3 but were already planning to leave due to high staff turnover, staff not helping us parents with potty training (using changing tables and diapers while we use the potty and underwear at home for example), and dirty bathrooms. I had let the director know we would be withdrawing. The day I did this, the unthinkable happened. The last straw and the day I took my child out for good was last week when I arrived to pick up my child (2 years old) and I found her ALONE IN A CLASSROOM. No adult anywhere nearby (none in the front or adjacent classrooms as all the classes were outside). Another parent witnessed this. My daughter told me "my friends left me" then said "a monster was going to get me" when I asked her what happened before she was left. I walked outside and found her class and teacher (as well as an ex teacher who was there visiting?) . When I confronted her teacher there was automatic lies about some person who wasn't even there and shouldn't have been alone with my child regardless. A bunch of excuses. The director was apologetic but the next day stated "she was only alone for 3 minutes" which even if that was true, was only because I showed up. I did report this center to the state and to corporate. This center was good once upon a time but needs major help. We will never use this center again.

A Haven for Hope and Growth: Why The Broach School of Orange Park Transformed Our Son's Education…read more Transitioning to middle school can be daunting for any child, but for a student with Autism and ADHD, it can feel like an overwhelming hurdle. After a smooth elementary school experience, middle school brought morning panic attacks and severe school avoidance for our family. After missing most of the first two weeks of school, we embarked on a long, exhausting search to find an environment where our son could feel safe, understood, and supported. We tried charter schools, private programs, and temporary homeschooling while visiting multiple specialized schools--yet nothing felt quite right until we walked through the doors of The Broach School of Orange Park. From the very first moment, Director Sonya Sutter and her assistant Ms. Smith were a absolute treasure. Ms. Sutter greeted us with a genuine, warm smile and immediately set a completely different tone. Rather than rushing through a standard tour or speaking solely to us while treating our son as if he weren't in the room, she spoke directly to Anthony. She took the time to listen to him, validate his feelings, and talk with him like the capable person he is. She offered thoughtful, practical ways he could thrive rather than just survive. That initial conversation was the light at the end of a very dark tunnel for our family. While the journey back to comfort in the classroom has naturally had a few speed bumps, the progress Anthony has made is nothing short of incredible. Bad days have quickly given way to good days, and each week brings more confidence and stability. His grades are fantastic, and he is excelling academically. The environment at The Broach School fosters both personal independence and a strong sense of accomplishment through continuous positive reinforcement. Furthermore, the faculty and staff set the standard for parent partnership--communication is open, welcoming, and response times to emails are remarkably fast. We are endlessly grateful to Sonya Sutter, Ms. Smith, and the entire team at The Broach School of Orange Park for restoring our son's love of learning and giving him a place where he can truly belong. If you are looking for a school that sees, values, and lifts up your child, this is it.

I really can't understand for the life of me HOW she has been there since 2008 other then putting on a fake act when her "higher ups" are around. My child was homeschooled prior to going to this school and on her FIRST day of school this woman decided to get in my face about where I was standing to pick her up rather then being nice and/or helping a new parent at the school know where they should go in the future she was flat out RUDE and DISGUSTING and rolling her eyes so far into the back of her head I wasn't sure they would come back!!!! If I would have had the displeasure of dealing with this particular woman when I did the tour here my child would NOT be attending this school right now. Thankfully though she does have the sweetest teacher to make up for their lack of administration. Someone needs to have a serious talk with how she interacts with parents because had there not been a lot of children around at the time I would have really given her a piece of my mind. However I'm sure those kids heard exactly how RUDE that lady was being too. She needs to get her self together!!!! She ruined my whole experience there ON THE VERY FIRST DAY!!!!!!!!!!
