This review reflects upon not only their teaching methods, which are not all bad, but ATA's business practices. A lot parents we've spoken with are not happy with them. One of the instructors gets frustrated with the kids and even admonishes parents who are in the audience as spectators. Parents of 4 year olds are admonished by instructors for missing classes. Prices are highly inflated. Worst, we were particularly upset when they changed locations and didn't allow us out of our contract. They moved 20 minutes away from their previous location. It now takes us 4x longer to get to their location and the plan to move was set in motion when we signed the 1 year contract. Did they mention it to us? Not a chance. And what's worse the move was voluntary on their part. I would say avoid entirely if you can.
