Springdale Early Childhood Center

My son really loved the school and really loved his teachers. He learned so much from this school like learning to count in Spanish, and he worked really hard trying to cut paper this summer to impress his teacher when he returned, but sadly we moved. And he is transferring to a new school, which he is very very sad. Is too far for me to drive him every day to Springdale from where we moved to, but I am very grateful and thankful for all he’s learned. And he will truly miss his school and his teachers. Thank you so much for the experience and for my son’s education.

My child attended at Elmdale Elementary pre-K. I had to get a doctors note just to find out how my child was eating, if my child was napping or going to the restroom. My child was regularly fed “cookies” for breakfast. I had to get a doctors note for them to give my child more fresh fruits and veggies. I begged for communication all year long in regards to what they are learning and I was told there were no themes that they were just preparing for kindergarten (which is apparently only at this location because there are lots of fun activities and themes at other locations according to this page). When I would get the chance to drop in during the day I basically had to demand entry into the classroom and never felt welcomed. The pre-K principle suggested to my child’s teacher to get an app that would allow them to share pictures throughout the day, however there are 3 school days left and the teacher still hasn’t found time to look at the app and it was suggested in September/October timeframe. So this has been an all around terrible experience. I have met with the teachers and pre-K principal to try and fix things but it never did. They appear to have the mindset that when children are in their care you have absolutely no rights to know anything that your child does.

Seems to me that the lady that is doing all the crying and whining about this class room is wanting all the attention surrounding her and her child ...there is no way that a class room is going to single out one kid and treat them differently or feed them any thing thats not supposed to be and as far as the kid napping that is up to your child if he or she wants to sleep the teachers cant make them so lady why dont u get a clue about the way the schools work be fore u go off crying about things ....

Going to miss Elmdale next year, especially Mrs. Wells and Mrs. Carter!!!!!
