I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My experience at this school has been horrible! My child has attended this school from him being a infant until kindergarten. I chose this school because of the wonderful things I did hear about it and I was recommended by a family member but i until my child reached kindergarten it has been a complete nightmare! The teacher he was the absolute worst she picked at my 5 year old the majority of the entire year she constantly singled him out for unnecessary things! It was never for behavior or his academics! She gave my child a 57 On a project that I helped him with and he told her that we did it together and she told me in so many words that I wasn’t supposed to help my 5 year old! I went to the director about this and she made it seem like she cared and would address the situation and nothing ever happened! This teacher went so bad that she purposely left my child out of pictures and things of that nature and when i asked about it she acted as if she couldn’t find any of the pictures i asked for but all the other parents got pictures of their children! And as of today my son was once left out on the awards ceremony on today 5-20-22 and it was another excuse my child is 5 he did nothing to anyone but this school and teacher made it that way. It’s very sad and disheartening to have experience this! I would never recommend this school to anybody!

I have several friends who have their children and grandchildren attend Excell and they all are very pleased with the professionalism ,organization, the food, the family atmosphere and the progress of their youth.I went to their graduation a few times and their love for the kids is top notch.Their Christmas ,Thanksgiving programs are very nice .
