The morning staff at the preschool is pretty good just don’t have your child stay for “aftercare” they hire young inexperienced kids. Multiple times when picking up four aftercare staff will be standing in the doorways of classrooms talking to each other while the kids inside are doing whatever they want! Administration is oblivious to this…Summer camp for elementary kids is a joke because it is run by the same young kids who do nothing with the kids but cram them all in one small room and talk to each other. You are overpaying for a glorified daycare with a warm body.
