After taking a tour a few months ago, my daughter is almost pre school age, I haven't been able to get this place out of my mind. I was really disappointed in the general chaos I witnessed, the kids seemed unorganized (the staff wasn't prepared with lessons or activities) and the state of the facility was absolute filthy. The director seemed knowledgeable in early childhood education, but in my opinion it's all smoke and mirrors, given the way she allows staff to speak to the kids (they were great when I was in the room, but as soon as I walked out, it was a different story.) Personally, I am not comfortable leaving my children in such a place, and neither should you. This is NOT the preschool it sells itself as.
I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone! My husband and I went for a tour and were really disappointed in what we saw. The facility is filthy dirty, the staff speak harshly to the kids and it was not a place I would ever consider leaving my child in. Frankly, I think it should be shut down.
Stay way from this place.
