I will start by stating that the reviews below are old and inaccurate. If you are looking for a preschool that gives your child a positive start to school and learning, this is not the right school. When I went to get information from this school I was promised quality and they never lived up to the standards that they promised. Tuition for 4 days is $1260 a month which I am more than happy to pay with the expectation that my son would be receiving high quality education. I soon realized this was not the case. I had multiple incidents at this school, one where my son was sent home without underwear. Another where my son was not served his lunch. A child scratched my son, and I was told nothing until I complained that there was no report made to me about the incident. Once my son moved to the P3 classroom more problems began, my son was constantly blamed for being a bad influence on the other children and not behaving up to their standards. These claims were incredibly out of character for my son and I became suspicious of the integrity of the school. My son started to develop anxiety at the thought of going to school, I would try to pack him his favorite snacks to which he would reply “NOOO! Teacher said not snacks!!!” in a scared manner. I had no proof that my son was being mistreated so I blindly kept sending him to this school. Finally, one day I came in and my son ran to me excited that I was there to pick him up and he tried to show me what he had done that day at school. Immediately the P3 teacher began yelling at my child to not run. At this point I understood why she didn’t want him to run, I didn’t understand the yelling but I’m very reasonable and understand she doesn’t want kids to get hurt. What she did next is what made me pull my child out of this school. She turned around and ridiculed my son in-front of the whole class using him as an example saying “See I already told him not to run twice. I don’t want anyone to run like he, did that is bad”. I saw the shame in my sons face, and if she was willing to do this in-front of me, I don’t know how else she may have been shaming my son and making him feel like he was a “bad” child for normal child behaviors. All of my son’s behavior immediately made sense. All the self shaming he was doing at home and all of the anxiety from him at the thought of going to school all made sense. She was conditioning my son into thinking he was a “bad” kid for regular child behaviors. I tried to speak to the teacher about her reaction to my son running to hug me at the end of class. She treated me with a derisive attitude, while brushing off my concerns. She tried to condescendingly convince me that I didn’t know my son, and that he was “bad” and that’s why he couldn’t make friends. I was in shock at how little care she took for my concerns. I explained to her that in any professional setting “employees” are taken in private to discuss poor behavior or any concerns their boss may have.. this is with ADULTS. Why would she express her concerns with my child in front of the whole class? We don’t shame adults in the workplace this way.. my 4 year old who is still developing emotional skills and confidence should not be shamed this way either. The next day I tried to speak with the director and I soon realized she didn’t have an answer for me when she tried to justify the teacher’s unprofessional behavior. I will add that for the amount of money being paid in tuition I was later informed by a previous teacher that the teachers here are underpaid. Which explains why they leave all the time and change all the time. I was left under the impression that they don’t even get paid the tuition of ONE child per month. This tells me that the director/owner of this school is incredibly money hungry for the amount of activities offered at this school not enough of the money being made is being invested back into the education of the children. This was a wasted eight months and over 10k. If you want your child to have a positive start in education don’t send them here.
