LOVE Jul 21, 2020
I have used this provider for more than 6 months

We love this school very much! All the teachers including the office staff are friendly and easy to talk to! Each classroom has Frog Street curriculum that covers all levels of development. The teachers do this curriculum everyday and sends pictures showing them doing it. They move students up to the next class according to age and developmental levels which I feel is great. Overall, we absolutely love everything about this school. It is a homey and inviting center compared to others in the area. I feel like my child is in a great place where she can learn and grow as well as be safe while their dad and I are at work.

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

My child has been at this school for less than 6 months and we have spent the entire time wishing there was a different option around here that followed a curriculum. The teachers are rude. My daughter has an incident report almost every other day. She is not a reckless kid either. The director of this school refused to move my daughter up in class because she said there is something physically wrong with her. Because apparently that effects cognitive development? I took her to the doctor that they insisted she sees and the doctor flat out told us that her being behind physically is because of something this school did to her. DO NOT ENROLL YOUR KIDS HERE. You will regret it. The only positive reviews I have seen on this or any site are from the owner’s daughter, trying to make it look like this facility cares about anything other than money. They go through employees about as often as I change my socks. They think that they have the right to make judgements on cognitive development based on physical progress. I waited for at least 7 months on their waitlist to get my daughter into this school, and they let a pair of twins take her spot in the next class up without having to wait at all. They don’t care about your children. They care about money and nothing else.

This is such a great school!!! My daughter started here in the middle of July and we have been very happy! My husband and I have seen our little girl grow so much already with the help of the school! I would recommend this school to anyone!!! They have a great curriculum that they do everyday. This curriculum even teaches the students Spanish! This is an over all amazing school!

THESE PPL ARE SO RUDE AND THINK WAY TO HIGHLEY ON THEMSELVES. THEY DONT KNOW MUCH ON PARENT RIGHTS AND THEY HAVE NO SECURITY FOR NO REASON. NO LOCKED DOORS. OR ANYTHING. WHEN I WENT THERE KIDS WERE EATING LUNCH AND I JUST WALKED RIGHT IN NO ONE WAS IN THE OFFICE. AND IF A KILLER OR A PERSON WHO WANTED TO DO HARM WANTED TO COME IN IT WOULD BE PRETTY EASY FOR THEM TO BARGE RIGHT IN. THEY DONT CARE TO KEEP YOUR KIDS CLEAN. THEY LET THEM PLAY IN THE GRAVEL OUTSIDE. SO ITS HARD TO DRESS YOUR KIDS IN NICE CLOTHES JUST BECUASE THEY GET RUINED. THE BIGGER LADY. I GUESS THE ASSITANCE HAS AN ATTITUDE AND HAS BEEN THERE FOR 12 YRS AND STILL HAS BAD SOCIAL SKILLS. THE OTHER LADY TEENA CANT STAND FOR THE TRUTH. SHE ASK HOW CAN SHE MAKE IT BETTER AND DENIES IT TURNS IT AROUND ON YOU AND MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE CRAP. LIKE WHY ASK FOR MY OPINION BUT NOT LISTEN . DONT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE. USE A BETTER SCHOOL. OR CHURCH NURSURY. THEY MIGHT BE VOTED NUMBER ONE BUT I MEAN HAVE YOU SEEN ALL THE OTHER DAY CARES. THEY ALL ARE SMALL OLDER. THATS THE ONLY REASON WHY THEY ARE NUMBER ONE. THEY TALK HORRIBLE ABOUT THEIR COMPETION. BIG TURN OFF. IF YOUR A TRUE GREAT PLACE TO HAVE YOUR KIDS YOU DONT HAVE TO TELL EVERYONE TO MAKE THEM HAVE YOUR BUISNESS. THEY WOULD SEE AND FEEL IT THROUGH EXPERIENCE.
