My son started when he was 8 months and now will be heading to kindergarten in September. He's been attending this school from 8 months to 5 yrs old and I've never had any problems or concerns we love the whole staff. We also will be sending our new addition soon.
This place is not functioned as a day care it's more like having a babysitter for a few hours if you don't mind your child not learning anything then this is the right place for your child.
The staff are incompetent and rude. The kids are always sick and don't go outside to play. Don't expect any drawings/painting or any use of kids fine motor skills to be brought home or on display.
You will never meet the director because she has a busy schedule everything is a phone call away. Don't expect any meetings either.
The time of operation differs according to the age of the child and also the times available for their operation is not whats advertised.
***** IF YOU'RE NOT INVOLVED WITH YOUR CHILD'S LIFE. THEN THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO.
Worst place ever. My daughter was there for only a few months. When I first went to tour the school and check it out it was wonderful. A month to two months later I saw a different school. My child was not bringing home any work she did for the week nor was it being displayed. My child started to become very needy and not want to go back there. One of the teachers could not speak proper English but she's supposedly teaching my child. The other teacher was old and very rude to many parents. The turn over rate was also horrible and I slowly started to see children leave. They don't provide any type of food or water. I mean seriously I would have to buy a gallon of water to send for my child. I also had to provide utensils and they had the nerve to want to be picky and say we could only use plastic. This place is a babysitter and that's not what I needed. My daughter is in a wonderful school and she is happy and always looking to go to school everyday.
