What Parents Say
Most parents praise the center's warm, caring environment and experienced teachers who help children flourish socially and emotionally. However, two recent reviews raise serious safety concerns including unexplained injuries, bullying, and a critical incident involving unauthorized child pickup.
Our son has been attending preschool here since he was 2, and he's almost 4 now. He had been at home with us since he was born, so we were very nervous in the beginning, but it has been nothing but a wonderful experience for he and us. The teachers truly care, are kind and loving, not to mention have great advice if you ask. We feel so blessed that we chose the right place for him to grow and learn.
I cannot say enough AMAZING things about this school and it's teachers and caretakers. My daughter came into the school as a very reserved and shy 3 year old. She has flourished beyond anything I could've imagined. Her teachers, Ms. Regina (who has been at the school for over 20 years) and Ms. Armine, are SO supportive, so loving and so encouraging. It is so clear how much they love what they do. I am so grateful that my daughter got to experience such a wonderful community that supported who she was and helped her flourish so much!
This place is amazing. The school is warm and inviting whereas the teachers and front desk are just as pleasant. It is hard to get into this school, people wait months. We had such a bad experience at StarChild that the staff made an exception, knowing we were desperate and how bad we wanted our child at the school. We are grateful. It's a great feeling to see your child running to school and telling you bye, versus kicking, screaming, and climbing your back, begging you not to leave.
We put my grandson in that daycare and were horrified at how he was treated. Although the staff were nice when we picked him up; they never could explain why he had scratches and bruises daily and they allowed him to be bullied so badly that he is afraid of being around other kids. The director is defensive and condescending. It's a beautiful place but looks can be deceiving. I wouldn't put any child I loved there!
Do not send your children here. Today they allowed an unauthorized agent to retrieve my child from the school without my permission or her father's permission written and submitted as is their policy and I will be taking action against this "mistake," as the teacher who released my child called it.
