About the Provider

Description: Spirals Mother's Day Out Program is built on the philosophy that early childhood learning in combination with physical education will better prepare children for their introduction into elementary education. We use the Movin' and More curriculum which emphasizes physical education for the preschool age child. We believe, as many educators do, that it is imperative to give children a fundamental foundation for their physical development. The academic portion of this curriculum consists of learning the alphabet, shapes, numbers, colors and much more. C

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

I most definitely do NOT recommend Spirals!! My son, who is a very hyper little boy with the biggest heart, kept getting in trouble for hitting during preschool. This is not like him whatsoever. I asked him each time why he was hitting and each time I did, he told me he was being pushed and teased. I brought this to the teacher’s attention and she said that she hasn’t seen anything. She hasn’t even seen my son hitting but he was being made to sit out of activities as a consequence. So I am not sure why punishment was being served when the teacher saw no inappropriate behavior. The stories were not adding up. Also my child is only three years old and he is having to defend himself!!!
I was employed with Spirals for a short time teaching gymnastics classes. I have A LOT of experience with gymnastics. I have traveled around the world competing and I’m actually a world champion gymnast. When I told them I was moving on, they used my son against me. They told me that he’s the one that’s suffering because he will no longer be welcomed there. Spirals is not the only one providing preschool services. There are many preschools that are closer to me and I’m sure they keep a better eye on their kids than Spirals does. I also was being talked to like I have no idea how to do gymnastics when I probably have seen more than them during my gymnastics career. They would have me coach the same technique for each kid which is a big mistake. Every child is different and what may work for one kid, might not work with another. The straw that broke the camel’s back was when they volunteered me without informing me to teach preschool during the day AND coach the gymnastics classes in the evening. There was no prior communication about this. This would make for a very long day for me. That would’ve put me working 12 hour days Monday through Friday. I’m a full time mom, dad, and student and they just assumed that I would add more to my already busy and hectic schedule. They are extremely short staffed and have a really difficult time keeping people around (I wonder why). Even one of the long-time coaches told me they have a hard time keeping people around for “throwing employees to the wolves and lack of communication”. Needless to say, this is not the gymnastics and/or preschool for your child. Their prices are cheaper than some gyms and preschools but you get what you pay for.
