I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I have been extremely impressed with Sharon Academy, its staff, its management and our overall experience. I have two sons attending and they love their teachers as well as, obviously, their classmates. The use of technology is outstanding and yet it has not diminished the personal interaction that is so important. Yes it is a hard school to get into and it is expensive but they are the great example of you get what you pay for and our kids are already the benefitting from their experience. Sharon Academy even has coffee and pastries for the parents at drop off and fruit for the kids at pick up. No school is perfect all the time but I would recommend Sharon Academy to any and everyone.

My sister has a child enrolled in the school. There has been a lot of turnover in staff and the school hasn't even been open a year. Owners now seem to be more concerned about money as they have reduced the discount for paying tuition monthly instead of weekly to just 1%. I know my sister is looking for alternate care as they are disappointed in the school. It's unfortunate since there are very few good choices for child care in the South Park area.

I have toured this provider's facility, but have not used its services

I called numerous times to try and schedule a tour but had difficulty getting anyone to answer the phone. As a result, I just stopped by recently to get some information and met the owners. While very pleasant, I had the sense they were not very knowledgeable regarding child care and seemed extremely disorganized. They had no current tour information and I had to wait for them to make copies. I was very disappointed in their younger classroom playgrounds as they were small and didn't seem very safe . Staff was polite but didn't seem overly happy which raised red flags for me. I will definitely look elsewhere for care.
