Absolutely a wonderful school. Staff and curriculum are the
best. My grandchild loves it there, and I leave him knowing
he will get lots of attention and learning there.

Parent #2
This school has a friendly director who is very accessible for questions. I am able to call the school easily. Parking for drop off/pick up is good.

This school is very regimented and has a very particular routine. Some children may not fit this routine so before enrolling your child and trusting the staff to build a bond with your child, note that they may decide that your child is not up to their standards. Please note that my son is a bright, funny, active young boy like most 3 yr old children tend to be and because he did not like to nap as often as they would like they asked him to leave after being there for almost 6 months. Also the new teachers for my sons class seem to be stressed and unable to accommodate individual needs. The teacher to student ratio is not adequate to be able to maintain individual needs for your child. The staff as well as the administration believe that it is not appropriate to inform the parents when the child has been behaving in an unruly fashion and or is not susceptible to nap time, they would rather hold this information in a not "tattle-tail" on the child...note this is in their very own words. I believe that if your child is having issues with anything that the parent should be notified so that you may help your child address his or her issues so that they may progress into upstanding young people. I was completely unaware of any constant issues that had been taking place and when asked to pick my son up early for disrupting nap, they had asked me to make other arrangements for him, rather then forewarning me so that I can look into other day cares that are more suitable for him and not disrupt my work schedule also. ABSOLUTELY UNPROFESSIONAL AND INAPROPRIATE IN MY EYES. I feel as though they have completely turned there backs and singled out my child. When asked to leave I saw more than 3 children standing up in the classroom during nap which was what he was asked to leave for doing. I will also say that even though the staff is is friendly and will smile at you and your child, acting as though all is well.. don't be fooled! As the old saying goes, looks can be deceiving and who knew it could be that hard for grown adults to voice themselves when an issue has has aroused that could substationally effect a child emotionally and physically to say the least.

My Child Learned many great things in the school, Age 2 Learned respect and had an Excellent Teacher. The older children tought my child bad habits things. Other than that he has learned to read a little, write sentences, and conversate well. The teachers in the after school program are Great and very patient with the children.

Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
