Parents' Comments
Parent #1
The building is very clean. Children are yelled at and put in time out for little or no reason for extended periods of times. There are no art or sensory areas available to the children.
Parent #2
One definite strength is the fact that they have "Letter of the Week" and at the end of the week they bring something from home for "show and tell" that starts with that letter. The teachers TEACH! I do not have to worry that they are not doing their job (like I did at our prior preschool). During the week, they get "time-out tickets" and if the child receives one, they do not get "treasure box" on Friday. Treasure box consists of a candy assortment and toys of which they can have 2.

Neither of my children need assistance with drop-off. I have learned that making it a long process makes it more difficult, and I think the teachers (and other students) appreciate this.

My children ages 2 and 4 really like this preschool. They both learn so much and I really appreciate the organized atmosphere. At the end of the year, I get a comprehensive view of how they have improved through the past year. I have never had a parent/teacher conference, (an informal one only) but if I wanted one, I would be able to arrange it without any problems.

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

Parents' Comments
Parent #1
I really don't know how conflicts are handled, but from what my oldest says, I feel like they are handled well. I am not aware how they handle visitors/screening process. I am not a visitor, therefore I can not answer this question.

Advice from Parents to Prospective Parents on Admissions
Parent #1
I was very appreciative of the admission process. We attended a preschool prior to the Learning Tree, and chose to leave due to the poor attendance of the teachers and many of the trusted teachers resigning. We were fortunate enough that my youngest one was able to go full time right away, but my oldest was only able to go part time until a slot opened. This process was very easy and extremely helpful. I would not have known what to do if they weren't so wonderful.
