DO NOT PLACE YOUR CHILD IN THE CARE OF THIS SCHOOL, BEWARE. My child became sick poisoned by a plant in there playground. I had to rush him to urgent care in the Miami children hospital because he's eyes were so swollen that he could open his eyes. the doctor said that they should have called the rescue in the bad conditions he was in.
Upsetting. The curriculum seems to be on par, but our issues stem from a more personal nature. Management has a very difficult time not getting involved in the personal affairs of parents who are divorced and cause a lot of unneded conflict. Also, my child was allowed to enroll with a VPK online confirmation, and for whatever reason, it was not accepted over a month after the fact. The school has billed us retroactively for this issue- which should have been handled when they enrolled my child. Further, no billing notices are sent, and my account and its' balance is discussed with whomever picks up my child, after several requests for it to cease. My last point (and there are many more, but I'm keeping them to the larger offenses) Communication with BOTH sets of parents has been requested verbally and in writing on numerous occasions. We, after several months, are STILL having this issue. Upon speaking to other school administrators, I was told that this chain has a reputation for a lot of the same behavior exhibited here with us.
My kids love their school and we do as well. What I like the most is that the kids are truely being exposed to learning in a fun and nurturing way. In addition, the kids are able to take part in so many different activities, enrichments, and events. My kids have learned a lot and could not be happier! I have reccommended to many and all are very happy.
