We believe that reading builds self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment, something that is necessary for every child. Not only will your child begin the steps toward literacy, but they will have fun doing it! Much of our instruction is through learning games, which make for an optimum learning experience.

My Kid started at Grace community school and within a couple of days came down with Bronchitis and an ear infection he had got at the school. When you go visit and do a walk-thru the place looks decent, But the staff treat you Great and bend over backwards so you can sign up and commit, Especially the Manager and the biggest problem Amy. My Kid is very active, Not used to playing with others as he is an only child and is at the stage where bites and hits. I am a single father and Working hard to get him to stop behaving that way but it's hard, However he has been making progress, I figure from hearing from other parents with kids my age that it is the Age and he will outgrow it. Nevertheless, He went back to school after recovering and twice a week when we picked him up we had a "Big yellow Report" that he either Hit, Bit, Scratched, Pulled hair or threw a toy. I understand that he is a baby but he cannot hurt other kids, But this is a school and supposed to teach him not to do this. I felt they were signalling my son out and because he is "fire cracker" the teachers are marking him so that they administration would remove him from coming to school. Lately, He has been coming home and telling us that 1) Kids push him and he pushes back and he gets time out. 2) He has been telling us that the teachers "Pow pow in his booty" which means in adult terms the teacher spanks him in the butt, which clearly would leave no marks because of the pamper. It's a shame because he loves school and he gets all excited in the morning and happy. Well We were told that if he had 1 more incident report he would be removed from Grace community school indefinately. No parent/teach conference, No offer of help or ideas to stop the behavior just kicking him out. The teachers are un-trained and DO NOT Speak English, They all look angry and un-happy due to their minimum wage salaries. They want a cake job and do not like my son because he makes them work for their money and therefore wrote him up so many times that administration decided to remove him from school. They do not know how to handle a 2 year old and I know kids make up stories but My son is too small to make up 3 allegations against the teachers spanking him and students pushing him around. They claim to be religious yet prefer to kick a kid out of school than work to correct a problem with a 2 year old. Let's get to Amy the Manager She is fake, They smile and greet you and behind your back talk about your kid. She knows nothing of how to teach a child or work with a child and she knows nothing of what goes on in the classroom. She is quick to write a report and have a child expelled. These are the people teaching our kids? My question is if a child gets the curriculum is involved in every activity and does everything the way he should beyond his age but clearly needs alittle more attention why not give it to him and stay around him to ensure he learns not to do those things? They do not care what happens to these kids and their facilities are so dirty and beat up kids constantly gets sick. This was a blessing in disguise for my family.
