Parents' Comments
Parent #1
too expensive for the care. MAKE SURE YOU READ THE FINE PRINT. NOT PROFESSIONAL AT ALL.

Parent #2
A-Zanipolo has done an excellent job with my son. The teachers do a great job of communicating his needs with me. I have witnessed them handling conflicts between toddlers and was very pleased with what I saw. My son has learned a lot since he began attending this program and I see growth everyday.

Parent #3
Bad Day Care- teachers are not supported in their daily work

Discipline

OVERALL RATING (2.5) Two and Half Star

Parents at this school, on average, believe that conflicts between children: are handled extraordinarily well in a way that not only gives me confidence in the safety of my child but also reassures me that my child (and his/her peers) are learning the early skills needed to socialize effectively with one another

The front door is very secure. Anyone entering the building has to have a key card or be let in.
