What Parents Say
Reflections Learning Academy receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from most parents, with particular praise for responsive staff, the director Rachel, learning outcomes, and remote camera access. However, two recent reviews raise concerns about specific teacher practices involving public humiliation and potential discrimination toward children with special needs.
Do not trust this place!! Not only did they allow my child to go approximately 30 minutes of having a full blown meltdown with not even the teacher checking on him, but the kitchen lady grabbed him by his little arm and slung him like a rag doll!!!!! His first 3 days of school was great! No crying. No known issues then, he came home and told us the other teacher (the teachers helper) yelled at him but he became “terrified” to go back so on Friday I stayed up front and watched him on the cameras. I am still in shock regarding the kitchen lady putting her hands on him and had there been a mark, the police would have been called! The front office lady is deceitful and covers for this behavior and even attempted to keep me from going to get my child after he was grabbed … My advice would be listen to your child and pop in unexpected!!!! If I could, I’d give this place a zero rating!!! And shame on the teacher who knew his issues and who just left him in the corner having the meltdown!!! Beyond disappointed!!!! New management is needed no doubts!!!
I was initially happy with this daycare until an incident happened on the daycare bus. The bus driver Mr. Steve hit my child when he was trying to calm down the kids in the back. The daycare failed me in so many ways. They initially got the story wrong saying it was my middle child when it was my 6-year-old. I went to the daycare the next day and the Director Shawn told me it would take a while to interview everyone so have a seat. I felt like she didn't care and didn't have any remorse for what happened. She had the nerve to tell me Mr. Steve has been with us for years. I don't care if he just started he hit my child. I called the police and made a report. Once I did that she had a major attitude. I removed my kids from the daycare while the investigation was in process. I never got a call or email. I had to approach her about the investigation. Needless to say, they never fired Mr. Steve and told me the owner wanted to depart ways. So you have the grumpy old white man hitting Black kids and getting away with it. He will hit the wrong child the next time. So you're blaming my child for what happened and no consequences for the driver. Several kids told my girls he always hit the younger kids because they Can't fight back or won't tell. I'm so disappointed in this daycare and they failed my child in so many ways. Now my child is scared to ride any after-school bus.
Our son has been at Reflections since he was 8 weeks old. He is now 5 and will be starting Kindergarten in the fall. Our daughter is 1 and has been there for about 6 months now. We have always felt 100% comfortable leaving both our children there. My son has loved his experience and he went through their Private Pre-K program. I definitely am confident he is prepared socially and academically for Kindergarten thanks to his awesome teachers. My daughter loves her teachers as well and I am given the comfort that I can log on remotely and see them online as well. So that is an added bonus. All teachers and the Director, Rachel are very responsive to any questions or concerns and always keep me up to date daily on both my children. I would highly recommend. :)
We love Reflections Learning Academy! My son has attended since he was 8 weeks old. His teachers and the Director, Rachel, are amazing! We never feel left in the dark about what's going on with our child. Any time his schedule changes, the center is extremely accommodating and even keeps me updated on how he is doing throughout the day. We love being able to check in on him via the cameras accessible on our cell phones and the daily update sheets are helpful as well. Overall, RLA is a great place for our child and we completely trust them with the care and safety of our son.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SCHOOL!! My daughter started when she was around 3 ¹/², she is now 5 and just graduated their Private Pre-k. She loves her teachers and the friends she has made. My daughter is excelling in all her milestones. She reads, counts in Spanish, and amazes us everyday with all the exciting things she learns at this Academy. The staff are all amazing, understanding and always make my daughters days there even brighter. I definitely recommend this facility!! Thank you for all you do!!
