THe owners are money hungry . All they care about is taking in as many kids as they can and not place them in the right classrooms. Then when you complain they say they are trying to accommodate for all. By putting them in a lower class grade and say they will accommodate for there age bracket. So not true. Ask them if my child is 4 and is placed in a 3 year old class. Why is my daughter using3 year old material. Why is she not using the same book as the 4 years old. So disappointing. Do not be fooled. Monitor what they are teaching your child there. It's not the teachers fault, it's the director

My son has been in this school for about 3 years. Since daycare (2yrs old) to Kinder (5 yrs old). He's really advanced and work on 1st grade academic curriculum. His day care teacher, Daniela, was GREAT, and his kindergarten teacher, Yvette, is awesome! I'm very happy with my son's development. No bad injury so far. 1 bruise at the playground, recently. That's all. I'm sorry they don't have higher grades, so I can keep my son there.

I would not recommend this center. I've had a hard time getting answers from the owners. It's been almost 4 weeks since I've been leaving messages & still no answers. I agree with other reviews that say the owners only care about making money.

THIS SCHOOL'S MOTTO SHOULD BE "IT'S ALL ABOUT BUSINESS". THE OWNERS APPEAR TO BE FRIENDLY AND WILLING TO WORK WITH YOU BUT THAT'S A FALSE IMAGE. THEY WERE VERY UNPROFESSIONAL IN HOW THEY COMMUNICATED WITH ME AND THOUGHT THAT THEIR TIME WAS MORE IMPROTANT THAN MINE. ALTHOUGH THE TEACHERS ARE UNHAPPY THERE, THEY DON'T LET THAT AFFECT THE STUDENTS. THEY TRULY DO THEIR BEST AND I APPRECIATED THEIR TIME, EFFORT, AND DEDICATION TO THE CHILDREN- TOO BAD THE OWNERS COULD CARE LESS.

The owners state they are available to talk and disicuss concerns but when you set up time it is not honored and follow up is seldom. As a parent I felt the owners did not care about meeting with parents and staff unfortunely had to cover up. The teachers are great with the kids. There are a couple who are excellent! High teacher turn over rate.

The staff is excellent in answering all my questions and the teachers are highly motivated to teach the children to be successful in school.

I enrolled my child in the daycare program and the school and program seemed great. Until I came to discover the student to teacher ratio is always to high, the curriculum is seldom followed. My child was bounced around from classroom to classroom. Several accident type incidents involving my child coming home with scratches and bruises. I was never given an explaination unless I demanded it and the usual response was 'we don't know how it happened'. The website claims to have cameras in every classroom yet none was ever checked to provide me with any type of explanations to my childs 'ouchies'. I would never recommend this school to anyone.

This school has a great kindergarten program with a teacher who cares about her class. 2 of my children were in her class and I hope my third child will have her. I have told several people about this Center and the young lady that runs this Center is always available to speak with.
