I decided to write a review because I really have appreciated the caregivers and activities at Mt. Zion. I have 3 children that have attended the infants, 2's and pre-k program. I am very please with the structure and curriculums for my children and I can truly see the results. My pre-k was taught math and phonics and at the completion of the program could read! I'm truly excited and I have really enjoyed the people and program over the last 4 years. The people are very loving.
I enrolled my child into the infant program at Mount Zion and it was a complete nightmare. The people were VERY friendly but as a parent I was very disappointed with the care my child received. The individuals who worked with my daughter did not pay attention to detail which led to my child being fed someone else's bottles, crib sharing and incorrect feeding times listed on my progress reports. Additionally, security is very minimal especially if Mr. Barney has been called to another part of the school. As a brand new enrolled parent I walked in on several occasions without being stopped by security which makes me nervous that any one could come in and interact with children and no one would ever know. The price is VERY affordable but you get what you pay for so BEWARE and ask LOTS OF QUESTIONS I wish I did.
