Wonderful teachers, planned curriculum, and quality summer program for school age children. I feel that my children are safe when I leave them. The tuition is affordable without feeling like it is a "budget" school. We also love the facility itself and the ability for the children to move around the building for the appropriate activities.
I would love to see teachers receive higher compensation, so that the Academy can continue to attract and retain good, quality teachers. I fully recognize that it is a stressful job, and they are truly wonderful. They deserve to be fairly compensated for their very hard work.
The entire staff is so kind and very on-top of my child’s schedule. I’ve been so impressed and am grateful we found such a great after school care option for our daughter!
Our son and we really love it at the Academy, and look forward to the years to come. Our only feedback would be to inform families of teacher leave or PTO, these kids get so attached to their teachers it would be beneficial to be prepared, and to prepare the littles.
I would like to see the front desk emphasize no tailgating through the front door. I understand when people have kids, it is difficult. However, at least making sure everyone through the door enters the code would be appreciated.
This is particularly concerning as a security hole during afternoon pickups. Sometimes there is not someone at the front desk, and adults hold the door for each other. So someone that does not belong to ECE can walk in just by a parent being nice and holding the door for them.
I have also noticed a half dozen times or so a young man in a grey Infinity sedan sitting in the parking lot during afternoon pickup. He is probably just someone's partner picking them up, but he is there when I arrive and depart. Just abnormal to see at a daycare.
The staff is amazing. They care about the kids and are so communicative and compassionate. As long as the school can retain their staff I think they will excel. The admins, teachers and program leaders deserve the world for how they plan and execute their classes. Our son has been enrolled for 2 years and every teacher and staff member have been so great. And they all know his name, from floats to admins. We especially love all the extra activities like splash days, gardening, nature walks, gym time with Ms Christine and creative movement!
Our kids seem to be having so much fun and are getting exposed to so many different activities. Our oldest enjoys each of the different studies each month and I am enjoying how much she is learning. I really appreciate how much the kids get to play and be outside.
The teachers in our classroom are the best. They really care for the kids and has made our son transition from hating daycare at his old daycare to looking forward to going to daycare every morning
My sister-in-laws sister used to own it. Then, it was bought and I worried the at home feel might change. I have sent all if my kids to this school. I felt very blessed and we are still sending our last there. I totally recommend sending your child here. My kids were very ready for kindergarten. I wish the still had a kindergarten program in the building. We love this school.
As my daughter has moved into a new class, we have again stopped getting any pictures or activity updates throughout the day. I know from visits into the class that they do fun things, and the teachers are taking pictures, but they don’t get shared (I.e., Halloween event).
Would also like to understand what actual learning is done, I.e., are they tracing letters? Are they tracing numbers? We get a TON of coloring pages back, do they ever color alphabet pages?
Would also love any level of feedback or parent-teacher conference (individual meeting or even just a feedback sheet) to understand how my daughter is doing in school, is she interacting well, is she learning, does she participate, etc.
Great staff from top to bottom. Whether its the teachers, administrative support we have always felt very respected and cared for, especially towards our daughter. The updates on our daughter is very appreciative, whether its something very routine, very happy or even in some cases if something is wrong with our her. We feel very trusting of the school and feel like our child is in good hands at all times.
