What Parents Say
Parents praise the caring staff, engaging activities, and welcoming environment, with several noting their children's academic progress and enthusiasm about attending. However, multiple recent reviews highlight serious concerns about poor communication, last-minute policy changes, disorganization, and unresponsiveness to enrollment inquiries.
I like this place. My son has fun when he goes and he's always coming home with cool paintings and drawings. He goes twice a week to the preschool section (ages 4-5), and seems to look forward to going in the morning. The staff there are friendly and my son's teacher, Miss Kelley, is wonderful to him. I know that the school fill sup fast, so if your kids is getting to be that age, look into this place sooner than later. As of now, I will definitely be bringing my daughter here when she's 4 for preschool as well.
My son loves his school. and I feel good dropping him off here! Updated 7/16/18: He got out for the summer at the end of May when the school closed up for the summer, with full intentions of him going back here for the new school year, and they knew it. Went in today to ensure he is enrolled and registered. They now have changed 3 policies last min with no communication at all. 1. My son cannot only go 3 days a week, we must pay for 5. 2. They will not provide any food (which would be easy to plan for) 3. They now close earlier. My son loved his teacher, school, environment and so did we. It is extremely difficult to find a place I trust. Now 10 days before he was suppose to start going, we find this out. It is extremely disappointing. And I don’t think good business practice without any notice.
My daughter Olivia has been going there for about 5 months now and I absolutely love this center. I feel so comfortable dropping off my 2 year old there. Mrs Kerstin and all other teachers have been so nice and welcoming. The director there is very pleasant every time I see her. I am always greeted when I arrive and when I leave the center. They are AMAZING!
My son was in Mrs. Kelly's class last year. Now he's in Kindergarten and top student! Goes to show her hard work and passion she has in teaching her students. Thank you Mrs. Kelly!
Was going to enroll my son here and he was on the waiting list and I never got a call back about changing their programs or even to enroll him. Found out on here other parents had the same problem. When others brought up their lack of organization and communication that really showed from my first impression. The semester hasn't even started and they can't get it together. I wouldn't recommend this place.
