Investigate carefully. We really loved their toddler program and the teachers there were phenomenal; however, in the primary program, we had an absolutely awful experience with the school's teachers and leadership. Terrible communication from the school regarding daily stuff as well as potential concerns. When an issue arose, the first time we heard about it was at the meeting when we were asked to find another program. We were then given 2 weeks to move our child. The school's only stated concern was for their classroom's environment and no stated consideration was given for the best interest of our child or a smooth transition. As far as we were told there were no issues with our child being violent or destructive and the reason the school gave for their action was that our kid "lacked focus." For context, our child was just 3 yo. The school is scheduled off 3-4 weeks every year without break care available, which is not easy as working parents. Also they started pushing for donations on top of the tuition, aftercare, break care, and lunches that already added up to around 1800/mo. All for the privilege of being in class with a ratio of about 26 kids for 2 teachers. Every time I post this review the school admin start posting to bury it. I hope other parents that have posted concerns in the past on other sites will continue to share their experiences.
