My 3 yr old son Matthew attended the Ferguson Oates Location preschool program, room 5. After 3 weeks of enrollment, we were notified and they schedule a meeting with 6 members of there staff, that our son was acting out. Upon leaving i observe our son only had a picture where he hangs his coat in the class, but the other children all had there pictures and names on items throughout the classroom. I ask the site manager and the Director of Center Operations how much time do they allow there staff to issue these items. NO ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They called for a 2nd meeting with 7 staff member to provide special services to view my son while he is in class. My son's mother went off, she was ask to leave and not to ever return. Hours later i was informed by the Chief Operation Officer and the Director of Center Operations that a member of there staff at that location was taunting our son to act out. I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS SERIOUS

My now 16 year old attended Wanda Mishack for 2 years, my now 7 year old attended Wanda Mishack for 2 years , and my now 3 month old will be starting tomorrow. This is my first time entrusting my newborn with anyone besides family but I trust them. I was on top of everything when asked, the process isn’t hard at all. I got him in and went to orientation and I feel good about it. This is a great opportunity and I’m grateful. I’ve had great experiences here, no complaints from either of my daughters . Head start will definitely give your kids a head start in life. My 16 year old is in collegiate academy, my 7 year old is a straight A student as well. Head start makes a difference….

I used to go here and omg the memories ❤️❤️ if you wanna review from someone that used to go here, here it is: It was AWSOME! We had fun and learned at the same time, the teachers never looked at us like we were dumb, if we didn't understand they helped us till we did, the classes were clean, we had show n tell.. don't know if they do that still but if you are debating yes or no for bringing your child or children here.. Yes❗️❗️

My son went to this school for two years before kindergarten and I loved it. Luckily he was in the best classroom and had the best teachers. Mrs Warren and Mrs LaFlora are amazing teachers. Staff was also always great to my son and I. Being the only child he started out a bit reserved but after week 2 they had developed his learning and helped him become more social with kids and adults. Now I can't get this boy to be quiet, lol! I loved having him here.

The teachers and Mrs.Daniels are great! They lost a couple of great teachers from last year which was so heartbreaking. They have new management and it seems that everyone is unhappy. The energy is very different from last year and it's not good. Nevertheless, The teachers are very involved with the students and parents. It's pretty clean and I feel safe when I'm in the building. I would give it a 5 star but management needs to do something about the employee atmosphere.
