I had high hopes at the school would work for my son. He has some delays. He is very intelligent but a little bit on the spectrum but very well behaved very sweet very smart after the second day they said my son would not be able to stay there, but it wouldn’t work out because he was different And they couldn’t provide the help that he needed in. God lets things happen for a reason because we enrolled him in a different private school and he did amazing and I’m not usually one to write reviews, my heart doesn’t allow me to write a bunch of negative things. All I will say is that everybody deserves a fair chance in my five-year-old to me was discriminated against he excelled in a private school and I’m happy for that but my hopes were that putting him in a private school a Christian school. Were people were more loving, godly, and willing to not judge and give a chance that God works in mysterious ways and he ended up right where he needed to be

So glad I found MDO PreK!! My daughter is in the 3s class with Ms Lea and Ms Lorraine - they are both AMAZING! So welcoming and kind, my daughter just loves them both so much! I can’t say enough good things about our experience. Highly recommend this school.

I cannot say enough good things about this school. Every single teacher there is wonderful, my kids absolutely love it, they come home happy every day and always have something new and exciting to tell me about what they learned that day. Highly recommend!

I can't recommend this school highly enough. My daughter attended Mother's Day Out, and her confidence and love for learning grew noticeably from her time there. The teachers there do SO much for the children. They have daily crafts, hold special programs and parties, and the teachers go above and beyond to get to know your child and take care of them. I only have positive things to say about this great place!

My daughters experience here started out wonderfully! Her teachers were great! This preschool was also highly recommended to me. Recently my daughter stomped her foot and yelled at her teacher after being reprimanded for sitting on another child. All good! I'm all here for that. MarySue, the director, called me that day and proceeded to tell me what happened and how we can move forward and help my daughter to learn better behaviors. Then she proceeds to tell me that my 3 year old daughter is being hateful, disrespectful and that she won't succeed in her future if she does not change! She also said that she didn't want the other children or the TEACHERS not to like my child. Completely inappropriate in my opinion for a director of a preschool to speak so negatively about a 3 year old child to their parent. I think she should have just let me know what happened and come up with a plan to correct and not tell me her personal opinion in my child or what her future may or may not look like. I called to talk with MarySue about my concerns and how that made me feel very uncomfortable even bringing my daughter back there after hearing how she really felt about my child and this woman pretty much laughed at me. Stood by all of her words and told me that I was taking it the wrong way. She did not want to hear what I had to say and was not willing to take responsibility for the inappropriate comments that she made. She almost immediately suggested I remove my daughter from the school. Which by the end of our conversation I agreed this school can't handle my daughter and isn't a good fit for her so I did remove her. I'm not saying don't bring your kids here but if you have a very headstrong child I would definitely think twice about it. This has upset me so much I don't even know what to do about it. So I decided to make this review and share my experience. I'm giving a 1 star because the way that MarySue, the director, handled this situation was extremely inappropriate to begin with and then when I called with concerns the disrespect I received from her was unbelievable. She didn't even want to listen.
