"The director and assistant director are extremely unprofessional and not friendly."
"Wonderfully attentive and responsive! Our child loves it here! Miss Jenna Piscitella is an amazing"
"The teachers are incredible! Management on the other hand is very 'hit or miss' regarding their level of interest each day. Often times can be unfriendly and each morning you never know what the mood will be."
"Overall, I like the school. The current teachers in the room are fantastic. However, prior teachers we haven't loved as much and didn't feel like they had a connection with our child. The lack of staffing can be a problem, but we do understand given the circumstances of the current world, but it does make it difficult. The previous director was very bubbly, greeted families and children at the door, the current is more reserved, but communicates well and meets our needs when we reach out to her. Overall, I think with the right teachers, my child very much enjoys going and it's nice to know is licensed and she has the ability to interact with other children her age."
"When there was a different director we we were acknowledged and greeted by a positive attitude, my concerns were taken into considerations and responded to in a timely manner. Not the case here at all. Love the teachers!!"
"All the staff is great with all the children even if they're not in their class they know the other children"
"Not enough staff. Every morning we get a text asking to keep our child home. Several times a week I have to stay in the class to maintain ratios. Ms Amanda and Somali are amazing teachers. Some others like Ms Caylee seem to be equivalent to a hired babysitter and less professional with less focus on teaching and development. Administration hasn’t been great in the past with resolving issues but seem to be better now. Prices are very high but not uncommon for daycare. Overall, just need to hire and retain more people and focus hiring on teachers, not teenagers."
"High turn over with staff."
"Tutor time has a great facility but is lacking consistent staffing. This makes it hard for parents to rely on early morning care"
"We love the school and teachers. Staffing has been the worst issue in the last two years (as it is an issue most everywhere). The staff is expected to have degrees but are only working for less than $20/hour to take care of 5-10 children all day long. Individuals can go work for the same amount of money if not more elsewhere where they do not have to care for children all day long. Upper management needs to understand that they are losing quality teachers and potential candidates due to the pay that they're offering. It takes certain individuals who want to be around children and teach them yet upper management is not seeing this, therefore, there has been such a HUGE amount of turnover and it's hurting the children who get attached to their caregivers."
"Overall experience has declined since my daughter moved on to K and my son has remained. Prices increase, hours shortened, staffing shortages, poor communication from managementLove the teachers!! However they are underpaid!!"
"Overall it’s favorable and I do believe most staff show care an concern for my child. The staff/room switching and staff shortages cause concern though, as I feel that having predictable routine and familiar faces helps my child feel more comfortable attending."
"Need more focus on writing skills"
"We have had a very positive experience with the school when we started, but this year has been tougher. With some turnover at the director level we feel there is less communication and things are more hectic. We love Nikki and she has been very helpful throughout the years. One pre-k classroom is run much differently than the other and we are in a room with less structure and consistency. We would have liked a little more feedback on what we could do at home besides everyday being a “great day” as our only comment."
"The teachers are fantastic, admin is kind and we are happy with the school.We are disappointed with the recent large increase in tuition."
