My son has attended this school for a year. It's been a great experience. The staff is awesome! The teachers are very nurturing. The Director runs a tight ship and her expectations for the staff and the parents is high but under her leadership the center is clean, well run and organized. The teachers work really hard to teach the kids and make sure they are academically ready for Kindergarten. They organize helpful workshops for parents every month, the kids take great field trips and are exposed to music, dance and art through participation in the different productions they organize. It's been a wonderful year and my son is ready for Kindergarten.

My child attends pre-k here & I couldn’t have asked for a better school. Staff communicates effectively and they make me and my child feel extremely welcomed. The icing on the cake is that my son is excelling and enjoys going to school. His teachers Ms. Carmela, Ms. George, and Ms. Shania are very supportive. We are very grateful.

My daughter had to miss two weeks of school because her application kept getting denied, when we were finally approved we had to come up with the money two days before school started. My daughter was complaining of foot pain and their staff member Mr. Michaels claimed he took off my daughter's shoe to look at it. Why didn't the school call me to let me know she was hurt, Mr. Michaels is not a doctor. When I brought it to the schools attention they deflected from it and made excuses.I had an issue with a male staff touching my daughter and they made it seem like it wasn't a big deal stating" Mr. Michaels has his teaching license. The program director Ms. Louise is a liar and was discussing my child personal health information to an asc worker named Melissa Picariello without my permission.When confronted she lied and said she didn't discuss anything with her.She deflected and made it seem like it wasn't a big deal. The staff is rude and unprofessional and they try to micromanage the parents about the payments. We get it, we know what to do and all of that isn't necessary.If you are late with or miss one payment your kid can't come to school. They make it more about money than actually a caring nurturing environment. Find another school, their clueless, hood and disorganized.Your kid can get a better education someplace else. I pulled my daughter out of that school with the quickness. They have a Young staff that seems like they don't know what's what's going on. Ruuuuuuunnnn away from this school as fast as you can, it's not worth the energy or money they try to suck out of you.

Horrible when it comes to communication. The staff is great but the DIRECTOR can easily make you feel like your a bad parent. My daughter has been there for a year and I've had to deal with horrible remarks and attitude from her. She even treats the staff a certain way. Is like they fear her. Which is probably the worse thing to do while running any business. She could be more considerate to parents who have simple questions. Not everyone has 2 3 4 5 kids. Nor the same experiance. Not everyone is handed a handbook of how to be a parent, but apparently she has the big book and likes to dictate what needs to be done. It hurts to take my child out of a school she made friends with so for one more year I will try and see if things can change around. Can't wait to she starts kindergarten.

My son has 2 weeks attending the pre-k but the teachers make parents feel unwelcome, which i really dislike I am already planning on transfer him some where else. Also they care a lot about money if you forget to pay on Monday you can not bring the child. 🙄
