I have used this provider for more than 6 months
I have to disagree with the other review. Fantastic school overall. The loving, caring staff was with my son all 4 years he attended. There is no 'front desk clerk' as there is no front desk. The staff greets you immediately at the door. Our experience has been nothing but wonderful and I highly recommend this preschool to all families.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months
I found the teachers at this school very cold. I felt like they couldn't be bothered, even when I had important information to relate about my child.
I also found the high turnover rate for staff a bit alarming. There was a new face in the classroom almost every day.
The school itself is located on a very busy street; two lanes each direction, traffic lights, bus stops, etc. The play area (although fenced-in) is still adjacent to the main road. I definitely did not feel comfortable when they paraded all the children on the sidewalk of Bloomfield Ave and through the building parking lot for Halloween. Not smart.
Lastly, the front desk clerk is terrible with children and unfortunately I have seen her jump in to help out the understaffed classrooms.
I would not recommend this school.
