Customer service and organization is no existent at this school. I paid tuition on time each week however, one week I was in the hospital and wasn't able to bring them the tuition check until that same Friday. The director informed me that, it didn't matter if I was in the hospital, tuition is due on Wednesday no exceptions. So I will be giving them the late fee however, my son will not remain at the school any longer. The tuition is to high for the director to not have good customer service. Throughout the whole conversation, never once did the director ask me if I was ok. I did just inform you I was in the hospital.

About the Provider
So at Tutor Time, every child’s unique set of skills and interests are utilized to his or her advantage in the way that they learn, grow, build self-esteem, and develop their imagination.
It’s our job to bring out their best.
Your child’s day at Tutor Time is educational. It’s social. And it’s highly energetic. The secret ingredient is our LifeSmart™ curriculum, which creates fruitful, hands-on learning and confident self-expression. Inspired by Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligences theory, LifeSmart recognizes and embraces the different strengths and abilities of individual children. Those differences are embraced and used to drive a customized early education that addresses the specific needs of your child.
Beyond their development and education, your child’s safety and security are our top priority. And communication is essential. With regular updates (including many photos) of your child’s experiences, you can feel comfortable that you are sharing this journey – every step of the way.
