Tldr: This school has caused us a 2 month delay in getting our son into pre-k because of their empty promises and lack of communication.

We have recently relocated to the area and initially called about availability on 2/3/23, before we had even closed on our new home. At that time, we were told that our son would be placed on the wait list to join their pre-k class. Fast forward about 6 weeks, to 3/16/23, and I called to follow up to find that he was initially placed on the wrong wait list. I was told that he would be added to the right wait list and that we could expect a call to schedule a tour by 3/24/23. We never received that call, so I followed up on 3/28/23, just as directed. I was told at that time by whoever was working the phone that the director was not in that day but that she would leave her a message and that I should expect to hear something back within the next day or 2. I followed up yet again on 3/30/23; the phone was answered by the same individual again, stating that she gave the director our message upon her return to work on 3/29/23 and that we should be hearing from her soon. Fast forward another ~2 weeks and 4 attempts at calling since and now no answer/response at all. As mentioned above, this has set our daycare search WAY behind, and we now have to wait another ~8 weeks for a spot to open up elsewhere. If you value your time and prompt, or even reasonable feedback, I would certainly recommend looking elsewhere! I guess you get what you pay for and their competitive pricing doesn't get you much.
