Mr. Abi was very unprofessional and rude. Considering these times, it can be very stressful trusting a facility to care for your child. When setting an appointment, she seem very relaxed about the time to arrive. Mentioning 11am, or 12pm "or so" would be fine. When I arrived at 12:30pm, I asked was it a good time and she said it was. Tours are cancelled due to COVID-19, which is understandable, so I expected my questions to be answered with respect. I asked "what is the teacher to child ration for infants?" her response was, "4 to 1. We have room for him." I then asked, "how many infants do you have in each class?" She rudely said, "why do you need to know that?" I told her "because I am sending my child and I would like to know how many children are in his class?" She began to get upset saying she doesn't have time to answer my questions, she has a parent waiting, they are short staffed, and she needs to cover for a teacher. She then began to complain about the time I arrived, which she mention was fine in the begining. I don't understand how someone who works with children has such little patience. She was very interested in my payment option (her first questions) and when I should start. I didn't even entertain the thought of sending my child to this place after such an unwelcoming first impression. I would not recommend.

Hunting for a good daycare can sometimes be exhausting. I went to various daycares and they didn't meet up to my expectations. I was at the verge of giving up when I came across Gifted Children Academy. It's a great and safe place for kids to learn. Thanks Gifted Children Academy.

I called to inquire about if there was a waitlist for their toddler rooms. The woman who answered the phone was very rude and unprofessional, and demanded to know why I was asking for her waitlist and why I was asking that question. Was automatically uninterested the moment she responded to me this way.
