Unfortunately I have had now two terrible experiences with this place which, to me, outweigh the good experiences my son did have there. Here is my review from Facebook so I don't have to get emotional writing about it again: (Please see 2019 update below.) While I do feel the owner and staff are genuinely invested in the education and well-being of the kids, if your child has special needs that cause disruptions in the classroom they will ask you to leave and then report to the government that your child had unexcused absences so you are removed from the program. I feel like I paid way to much money to be treated like I didn't matter. She wouldn't even return my calls or emails when I tried to contact about the discrepancy - guess she was just glad to be rid of us. Made me super sad. 💔😢 Update 8/27/19 - Claimed to have not known about this problem and not to have received any of my calls or emails, but did know about this review and still never reached out to me to apologize or clarify what happened on their end. I feel absolutely betrayed at this point. I can't believe I ever recommended this place! I guess you live and learn. 😫

Excellent place. When we moved to York we kept our son enrolled because we are so happy with the teaching and care our son gets. The staff is absolutely amazing.
