I believe that in the past 4 years Izabella's has changed a lot. The curriculm is a lot better and since they got new teachers it has become ten times better. And or those of you saying your child comes home with bruses, its not always teh centers fault. Sometimes a child gets hit but it doesnt hurt the and the teacher never notices it or another child bits yours. I haven't had any major problems with this center so far and I have been here for five years already. And if I have ever had a problem with something, I have addressed it and it has gotten fixed.

IN MY OPINION THIS SCHOOL IS HORRIBLE, EVERYONE IN WNY SHOULD OPEN THEIR LITTLE EYES AND SEE THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS SCHOOL. NOTHING BUT FAKE PEOPLE WORKING HERE STARTING WITH THE LADY IN THE FRONT (DISGUSTING), THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT EVEN EDUCATED ON HOW TO BE A PRUDENT TEACHER, NO ONE HERE WOULD BE AWARDED TEACHER OF THE YEAR BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A TEACHER, THEY CAN'T EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH WELL ENOUGH FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND THEM, WHY WOULD I WANT MY CHILD TO GO HERE. THEY LACK DISCIPLINE METHODS AND SHOWS EXACTLY THE TYPE OF PEOPLE THEY HIRE HERE WORTHLESS AND DEFINITELY NOT FOR A CHILD TO ENDURE IN A SCHOOL SYSTEM. ALL THESE PARENTS THAT SAY THIS IS A GOOD SCHOOL NEED TO LEARN ON BECOMING AN ACTIVE PARENT IN YOUR CHILDS LIFE AND INVESTIGATE THE SURROUNDINGS YOU PUT YOUR CHILD/REN IN. THIS SCHOOL IS NOT WORTH YOUR TIME ESPECIALLY YOUR CHILDS, THEY DO NOT CARE FOR YOUR CHILD. I WILL BE GOING TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND PUTTING A COMPLAINT I WILL ALSO SEE TO IT THAT THIS SCHOOL IS INVESTIGATED AND SHUT DOWN.
