I have used this provider for less than 6 months

I completely agree with kparis and more. Not only is the kitchen unsanitary and teacher turnover appalling. If you hope their VPK will prepare your child for a real school,, it will not!. Children do as they please. No structure. No attempt is made to instruct unruly children in how to behave so all other children suffer. This place was a huge disappointment. Reggio encourages learning. This does not!

The major problem with this school is the staff.  My child had 4 different teachers within a 7-month period.  The Director neglects to tell the parents about staff changes.  It would be nice for the Director to keep parents informed about important changes.  As far as a Reggio Emillia, none of the teachers practices the curriculum as it is advertised.  The lunch area is not sanitary.  All of the children handle the plastic utensils that are stored in a basket near the floor.  Many times there have been forks and spoons on the floor nearby.  When this school first opened it was very structured, the parents were informed of any changes, and the staff members lasted more than a year. It's shame how drastic it has changed.
