Princeton Academy

It’s unfortunate that I’m writing this review, I came here to enroll my 3 yr old due to the good reviews online, I was able to do same day appointment that was a win win, when I come in I was approached by the lady that open the front door for me since my toddler didn’t want to enter the building, I want to mention is very unprofessional that your on a call n have a person present and not acknowledging the person present, it just takes a “Give me a sec, please” I’m walking behind her as she’s walking to the back, because of the lack of communication until she felt I’m walking behind her and told me to sit down, then a Hispanic lady comes out the back room and approaches me and I was a lil confused when she told me she’s the cook lady! She speaks to me in Spanish which yes thats my first language but after u grow up in a different country and live there ur entire life u express ur self better in the language that’s spoken there, I do like the fact that’s she’s there of course I love my people n I feel very comfortable having an abuelita since that’s how my culture is, well I’m asking all the questions because obviously I’m the one that’s interested in enrolling my toddler, and I brought up my son has a speech delay and still pending for evaluation, she continues to tell me there’s no special teacher at the moment, I’m very confused because he’s still not yet diagnosed with no type of disability, oh well, the lady goes to the back and when she return she said had spoke to the owner/ principal and she said she can’t accept him right now until after he’s evaluated and I get that part but what I don’t get is why in world the owner/principal has been there the whole entire time, don’t forget about the First Lady that opened up the door for me she still walking around on the phone on a call, to me some calls should remain more private specially at a place of business! Unfortunately if there would of been a better communication and if the issue was them being afraid of me taking him out after the evaluation was done, with better communication I would of still kept bringing him here, I dont mind paying for my kids education if needed, but unfortunately speaking to the wrong person in a place of business would bring u to a bad reputation! (Also please fix ur exit sign u have coming out ur front door because is not safe to have all those cables exposed out like that when u have kids in your building)

My son is autistic and they treat him so well. Very patient and caring. The Pre K teachers are very knowledgeable and loving. The director is awesome along with the owner. If you have an issue, they are nice to talk to and solve it. Very dependable and affordable.

Rude, careless, condescending, and borderline hateful towards my autistic son. He wouldn't sit for circle time or eat their tuna noodle casserole so he was asked to leave. Instead of working with me and creating a plan we were asked to leave. That way they could skate around legalities. If you want your child treated like a child and not like an inconvenience don't take them here. They also went so far as to pull a completely different woman of my same race to the side and complain about my son. They thought This particular woman was my son's mother.This woman looks nothing like me and her son was six months old, my son is 3 1/2. Careless. thoughtless. and rude. The director is a joke and obviously only cares about paychecks and not enriching and embracing children for who they are.

This place is amazing! Both of my daughters have been here for over a year and we have had no problems. My youngest is in their private pre-k program and they have been working on things in their curriculum that my oldest is working on in the 1st grade!!! They serve nutritious meals and have lots of time for outside play which is great for everyone. Also, there are cameras in every room which was a must for me because my girls transferred from a daycare that I was less than pleased with. The staff is so kind and patient and I've always seen them handling their classes with love and care (i'm there everyday so I always pay attention.) I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good quality daycare/preschool!!!

Same day my son started he had to go due to the fact he has AUTISM. Full blown DISCRIMINATION. Daycare directors exact words were “you told me he had an IEP for speech delay but you didn’t tell me he had a AUTISM DIAGNOSIS” listed on his IEP. In which this diagnosis was based off the school eval, his actual child development Dr said just a speech delay. So that’s what I told them. Exactly what was told to me. It was an issue that he “pulled away and tried to hide under tables, as well as hold onto the assistants leg” FOR COMFORT, due to being frightened on his FIRST DAY. This is RIDICULOUS, disgraceful and very hurtful. ON TOP OF THIS DISCRIMINATION, I walked into this daycare to pick him up and seen the assistant literally TUGGING HIS ARMS, back and forth saying “don’t pull dont pull”. This is terrible, first impression, TERRIBLE. If your kid has any specific diagnosis and you want them to be treated fairly, FIND ANOTHER SCHOOL.
