While there she learned how to play chess and speak a little bit of spanish. I really loved this daycare as a matter of fact i recently took custody of my niece and I am sending her to this school. They have great field trips and excellent teachers. I also enjoyed their summer program. They even have open house and hand out progress reports I love this school and would recommend it to my family and friends.<ul><li><b> OVERALL School Rating</b>: 5 <li><b> Health and Safety</b>: 5 <li><b> Environments</b>: 5 <li><b> Teaching Staff</b>: 5 <li><b> Teacher/Child Ratios</b>: 5 <li><b> Curriculum</b>: 5 </ul> I loved this pre-school for my Daughter she went there from age 8 months until it was time for regular school.

It is also a pleasant place to work. I have worked here for 5 plus years and never had a problem just like several other faculty members. Directors always see to it that the teachers have the training needed as well as the supplies needed in their classrooms. Teachers come and go because they want to "hang out" and not work for the benefit of the children. The directors are very clear in orientation and in staff meetings their mission and expectations of all staff. The previous negative reviews sound like ex employees. If it was not good, why take the paycheck? If you were really about children, why did you wait to be fired? Be honest and tell the truth about what you brought to the school. Nothing!!! I am sure I speak for all staff members who come and do their job for the children....It Takes A Village is about children!!!! I pledge for the parents of old and new students to speak for the school. You know the truth!! Applicants serious about working with children need to apply.<ul><li><b> OVERALL School Rating</b>: 5 <li><b> Health and Safety</b>: 5 <li><b> Environments</b>: 5 <li><b> Teaching Staff</b>: 5 <li><b> Teacher/Child Ratios</b>: 5 <li><b> Curriculum</b>: 5 </ul> this center is …

They don't know how to handle their staff. They talk down to the teachers and assistants infront of the parents or other staff members etc. This place is like a revolving door of workers; in one day out the next. Something needs to be done with these two directors.

As a concerned parent having my child switch schools and teachers would be traumatizing for my child. Apparently the director does not see it that way. My child went through five different teachers in one school year!! I was so distraught, however, because of convenience I could not take my child out. When I use the word 'convenience' it is because I cannot say the actual reason because of my status in that center. The director walks around like he owns the building when in fact he only married into the business. This place is very sad!<ul><li><b> OVERALL School Rating</b>: 1 <li><b> Health and Safety</b>: 1 <li><b> Environments</b>: 1 <li><b> Teaching Staff</b>: 1 <li><b> Teacher/Child Ratios</b>: 1 <li><b> Curriculum</b>: 1 </ul> I have had a horrible experience at this center and only kept my child there for convenience.

I find that school has helped me help my children. To the parents with bad experiences, first you need to learn how to write before you call anyone rude and unprofessional. Also, if everybody was rude or unhappy, why did you leave your child there? For anyone reading, do not believe their hype. How does someone's head get big for doing the job that is suppose to be done. I am a human resource manager and people fire themselves when they do not perform the job. If your child could write and count why didn't he elaborate on what he did for the day. These two parents are showing their lack of education and lack of parenting skills.<ul><li><b> OVERALL School Rating</b>: 5 <li><b> Health and Safety</b>: 5 <li><b> Environments</b>: 5 <li><b> Teaching Staff</b>: 5 <li><b> Teacher/Child Ratios</b>: 5 <li><b> Curriculum</b>: 5 </ul> I have two children who attend this school.

As a parent, it sounds like unhappy employees who did not make the cut. You did not belong there if you could not perform the job. I have two children 5 years apart and they were able to have the same preschool teacher at my request. The expectations are high there for teachers. I see the changes that have been made for the better. Do not spread negativity because that's what you wreceive. Move on and be happy. This is a school in the community that cares!!
