I mean their organization, resourcefulness, commitment to community, their integrity & understanding, to their “ WE WILL FIND A SOLUTION” for you stance!!!! I can go on & on about how essential the ACADEMY & ORGANIZATION has been but it clearly shows through the children that attend, the activities that are extended to family & the inclusiveness that is promoted. I am not only grateful/thankful to this village of caring staff that work here but also this building standing is for me, a symbol of “SAFETY,REFUGE & HOPE”!!! I love it here & I love how they love on my son🤗😌🤗

This place accept bullying! Especially from teachers/students! They really don’t care about the kids! I pick up my niece the other day! She complained to me about some actions going on in this place! I mentioned It and NOTHING was done! Save your money and find someone who really cares about your kids wellbeing and education! It’s to much things going in this world! And trusting this school is the LAST THING you should do!

I honestly don't know how anyone could leave a bad review on this place. This is the third school my son has attended since birth. This is the FIRST school that he has not cried every single morning at drop off. As a mother, being able to take her son to a school that he loves and even asks for on the weekend is huge!! My son not only loves this school but adores his teacher and each assistant. The grandmas being in the classrooms extends that sense of "family" all day long and provides an even further amount of love and nuturing. My son is constantly busy and proves how much he is learning by coming home and singing the songs.. and even talking to me about his day... and he is 2.5 years old. The center constantly has activities, programs, and field trips outside of the classroom and they keep the kids busy. I love that the school uses class DOJO and the teacher provides constant picture updates and is readily available any time I ask her a question.The school provides breakfast, lunch, and snacks too. They are NO JOKE when it comes to the kids being sick and require ALL documentation for your child to return to school afer being sick but at least you know they are honestly looking out for the well being of the entire school. I appreciate everyone that participates in my son's day to day at the school and am very thankful for the huge strides he has taken since he started there!

This school doesn’t like when you advocate for your child or question their so call policy about lunch. (FYI You can bring your own lunch for your child, they don’t have to eat the school lunch). If you questioned their policies do beware because they will kick your child out of school by saying they can no longer attend the wrap around program. That’s their way of forcing you to take your child out of school. So know your rights as a parent and the guidelines of Public education. Don’t send your child to this school. This school doesn’t believe in providing education for all children. Because the minute you question and advocate for your child, your child becomes a target. From what I noticed this school It’s about money and trying to run a game on parents. This is not directed to the teachers because they have been nice, but to the people who smile and collect your money and sit in their offices. Thank you for showing your true colors. This school is not worth it....

My grandchildren goes here. They have a daycare, summer program and a after school program. Everyone knows each other there. Very protective of the children and always have activities for the kids to do.
