My kid has been here now for roughly 8 months, and she has had a great time. She's blossomed here as she's built friendships and settled into her own. We've been through the 2 year old and 3 year old classes thus far, and her teachers have been very caring and thoughtful. She's come home talking about all the fun things they do and we always have a stack of artwork that they've completed. She's also learned better structure and routine and general behavior. I've read reviews below discussing teachers standing around speaking in a different language and I've never once had that experience. I've also seen reviews saying that the teachers and administration are aloof -but I think they do have some personality types that are more reserved... which is also a personality type that is more patient with the kids. What I do know is my kid loves this school. She loves her time there, and the friends she's made. And we've made friends with several of the parents from her class. It's become a true community, and we're appreciative of her time here.
My toddler loves it here! I have to pull him away from the school every day. He so eager to get in there and every morning when I mention school he hands his shoes and pulls me to the door. I love his energy for the happy bear school. It sets me at ease while I'm away. If his disposition were different or the environment was not inviting we would be out of there. Even on the first day I gave his teacher a run down of comforts and dislikes for my little guy and she patiently let me do so with no qualms I never felt rushed out. Ms Chelsea's demeanor has been very calm thus far.
Tall red head seems like the only teacher who likes being there. The other teachers look tired all the time including the director... Cool environment but needs new staff. Me son always came home hungry so i dont believe they would feed him. I can say they helped teach him his ABCs but i dont recommend this school at all!
every single time we come in its just a bad vibe! the teachers are just standing around speaking another language while the kids are crying, don't even try to help the kids to calm them. I'm incredibly disappointed with this so call daycare. They look at parents with such disgust toward a simple question towards the "teacher" more like baby sitter !!!!! The place stinks, the staff sucks and seems careless. considering the price of this place you'd think itd be a little brighter and actually have extra materials for kids. geez at least look happy to take in the kids the teachers look so miserable. This place had been the WORST place I've taken my child for day care. I do not recommend anyone to bring their children here I felt so guilty leaving my child here for the need of an immediate care but never again. This is so sad for kids to be here.
