My daughter has been attending for 2 years. I love this school for their attention to detail. Teachers are great and management really care about who's caring for the children. I would highly recommend.

So everyone has different experiences good & bad, so I won't go into specific detail, to ruin the good experiences some may be having....But I will list a few of the issues and red flags that had us go elsewhere!
For one, the turn over rate is unbelievable, my child was there for a year and went through 4 different teacher assistants! What was going on for these women to leave??? Secondly, The monthly tuition rate went up not once but TWICE in the 1 year that we were there! We understand rate increases due to the economy, but for the rate
To significantly change twice in one year, is unheard of!!! Another big RED flag, (which may be TMI) I picked my child up, smelling like poop numerous times, when we checked his bottom it had dried up poop around that area of his bottom. When I said something to the teacher about this problem, asking that she help him wipe, she said verbatim "we don't wipe them unless they ask!" UMMMM... Excuse me?, I'm sorry last time I checked my 3yo's arms didn't reach that far back there!.. Shame on you!!
Looking back, He never seemed excited about going, he cried at drop off and I should have not brushed those anxiety tears under the rug!! Definitely do some research, find out how long the teachers have been there, that will tell you a lot about the Preschool!!
