I'm a student from morning star and I just want to say that thay have cockroach problems in the cafeteria I have seen a lot of bug and insects in the building. Another thing is I saw a 7 year old clean the bath because our "janitor can't do it". This zchool need to be more strict about rules i see kids taking out the trash by themselves with no supervision their too much favoritism and half of teachers last years was not able to teach
Their are cussing and fights in the school and some terrible kids I just wish the best for this school
This has to be one of the best centers for childcare! I am impressed with the growth my child has in such a short time! I'm looking forward to watching him grow & learn so much. His teacher is amazing & informs me daily about activities that are forth coming. I love it!
Well my last review was when my son was 3. He is now 6. He attends 1st grade here. This organization acts like a public school. So do not expect private school privileges. Despite having a scholarship, parents still pay to attend. My child is now bullied, and the zero tolerance policy does not apply when the abuser is friends or family of the staff. Alot of unprofessionalism, alot of favoritism. Do not expect communication with anyone about your concerns,you are always wrong. Respectfully yours.
Amazing. My son loves to go here. He is 3 and knows letters and can count 1-25 is starting to write his name, has such a huge vocabulary. They are all moms, and it feels great to have such wonderful Christian parents equipping my child's mind for what is needed before kindergarten.
