What Parents Say
Big Red Barn is a farm-based preschool in Yuma with mostly very positive reviews praising the staff, learning environment, and animal interactions. The vast majority of parents report their children thrived academically and socially. One parent gave a negative review citing cleanliness concerns, lack of formal curriculum, and poor director demeanor during their tour.
Big Red Barn is hands down the best pre school in Yuma my two year old son absolutely LOVES coming to school to see his amazing teachers, friends and the animals. The owner and all of the staff are incredible with the kids and extremely friendly, he is already talking more and learning so much!
My son has been at this preschool for 2 months and we absolultely love it. I have never left my son with anyone before so I wasnt sure I would be able to trust or find a place that was good enough for my son but I was so wrong. I am so glad I took a tour and enrolled my son there. There is always someone at the front desk to monitor what's going on as well as anyone that is coming in or out. All of the staff is absolutely awesome and they truly care for the kids. The communication that the staff has with the parents is great. I love the entire atmosphere--open hands on learning environment and the animals are great. I absolutely love that the school takes the time to post pictures on facebook so you are able to see what your child is doing and learning day to day. I feel not so left out of my son's day. Learning should be fun. Best preschool ever!! Definitely check them out.
In response to Bennett Burkholders review, I am having trouble seeing the truth in his statements. There is a camera in every single room of The Big Red Barn where the office staff can see the students and employees at all times, as well as the parking lot. You can easily see the entire computer screen at the front desk is a live video feed from each camera. You have to pass the front desk, talk to your students teacher as well as sign in and out your child, this seems simple because when the staff knows you it's a quick process. Signing in and out of students is how all preschools or daycares I have ever seen handle drop-off and pick up. If an unfamiliar face were to ask for your child you can rest assured they would not be released. There has been two cases of outside vandalism where items have been stolen from the front of the building occurring at night and both caught on camera, not considered a break-in. Once two wooden cows were stolen, and once the Christmas decorations were removed from the property. Besides calling the authorities and handing over the surveillance tape, I an not sure what other measures you can take against after hour vandals. I have no basis to comment on his communication problem with the staff, or FB posting. I can say that the children are happy, health, learning, and engaging with the animals on a daily basis at Big Red Barn. Both my children have attended the school for years. I can tell you when my oldest started Kindergarten there were exactly 4 students in is class who could write there name and pass other skills on the first day, and all 4 of them had attended Big Red Barn for Preschool. As with most things in life including public or social media reviews... you can't please everyone 100% of the time. I responded to Bennet's review because some of his statements are untrue and misleading.
My daughter went here for 3 years and it was one of the best decisions we made! She grew and learned so much while at school. All the staff were very kind and accommodating. A must for Yuma Children.
My daughter was there for 3yrs. They are not just a day care they teach kids everything from sign language, states, presidents and much more. My daughter scored VERY high on her kindergarten testing and I ask how did she get so smart she said " THE BIG RED BARN"!!!!!
