Spark - Hop Brook
Quick Facts
Reviews
High staff turnover when my son attended. 3 teachers in his first 4 months, made for a very strange and unstructured environment especially for it being his first time in any pre-k/daycare setting. The final teacher was great, fresh fun ideas, much more structure and engaged the kids. The director would've been the sole reason I pulled him out had it not been for Covid. Complete lack of people skills, no tact, and very poor communication.
