Castle Academy

Love it!! Every school is not for every person and it's good when you find a place that is good for you! My 3 children have been there for many years and we love it! Ms. Maureen does have her finger on the pulse of the school and that's why we are there. Love it or leave it that is my motto. You can't make everyone happy, but boy are we happy!

When I first looked at this school, I was happy with what I saw. But look deeper and you will change your mind. I did put my children in there, for only 2 months. I saw a change in there composition and it was not in a good way. I didn't realize I was putting my 3yr old into boot camp. He is a typical 3yr old boy who at times was to play, well they had enough and called me one day at work and asked me to pick him up and not bring him back because he didnt sit back in his chair. Seriously!! I read reviews and thought ok, well you can't make everyone happy. But this a child facility who doesnt want to have to handle children. and the owner maureen has her thumb on everyone there, they won't even answer a simple question, and she will sit in on a phone call silent and never let you know she is there. SNEAKEY!! DONT TRUST HER. Just glad to be out there, and within a week my children were back. New school doesnt see the issues that Kids Castle complained of at all!!!

Very unhappy with this school, although the school is the most sterile school in the nation (smell of bleach daily), my daughter's teacher was cold, unloving (pre-K). My daughter use to tell me that she did not want to go to school nearly every morning. Although the academics are advanced, the teachers seem to forget that they are 4 year olds quickly. My child started displaying agressive play while attending. I observed her on several occasions, what I found was my child playing school with her dolls and yelling at them, telling them to get away from her desk, teling them they could not go to the bathroom and once I heard her say "what do I speak Chinese". Remember she is talking to her dolls. When I would pick her up I would hear other tearchers yelling as well, this appeared to be an accepted means of discipline. Friends of mine that sent their kids there also have removed them as well for simiular reasons. I would never recommend this school ever.

Maybe a great school at some time before now. The special classes, such as Spanish and computer classes, are often cancelled or ignored. My children has not had a single fire drill. Teachers are often concerned with their needs over care of the children during field trips. Teacher absences are extremely disruptive to the entire operation -- to the point where services are not provide and lunches are negatively affected. The teacher seem to try, but many are children themselves. It seems more like a summer camp, than a school. Difficult economic times seem to have had a profound affect upon this once great school.
