Little Scholars Academy

I have been coming to this center since August 2012. My daughter was just 2 and was very shy and timid. I cannot say enough good things about the center. My daughter recently started kindergarten and has spent several nights crying that she wants to go back to preschool. The center is family run and while many of my friends preschools have high turnover for teachers, you can always count on Ms. Angela and her family of staff. There has been a time or two where certain staff left me "unsure" but when I addressed my concerns with Ms. Angela they were handled appropriately. My daughter passed her kindergarten assessment knowing 27 out of 29 of the areas identified. According to her assessment, she is where the other children will be by the end of December. I was very happy and would recommend this center to anyone, despite other online reviews. more

I was told this place follows the rules! NOT! There is a reason this is a 3 star facility. Whatever lie you've heard, 5 star is the highest rating. Do your research before leaving your innocent children to be cared for by such a cold- hearted "owner". more

Im sure "landon and susie" is either angela or someone of the family making up a name to try and put a "positive" spin on this place. Angela has a bad attitude and yells at my child. My child has also cried to me, telling me she had gotten mean and squeezed my child's had because my child wasnt listening. I know 2 other people who were dissatisfied as well. Please do NOT go here! more

My child used to go to another center, which has since closed down. We had been at the previous center since my child was a baby so we did not know anything different. Angela and her staff are so personable, loving with the children and give so much extra to all of the kids, not just mine. I was offered a very fair price based on my finances. Angela cared more about the well being of my child than the price being offered for tuition. In the 8 months that I have been enrolled, my son has come such a long way. He began in her center receiving occupational therapy and recently we were informed that he no longer needed the services, that's how well he is doing. I read the above review and honestly, there seems to be more to that situation. I know Angela is tough on following procedures, so my guess is that there must have been a policy or reason as to what happened with the above reviewer. This center has changed our son's abilities to progress and we are very very happy! If anyone wants a reference, I would vouch 150% for this center. I referred my friend Julia, who began last month and they are as well pleased with the progress that their preschooler is doing. The cleanliness, and sanitation of the center are also all A+!! - Susie & Landon more

We initially enrolled at Little Scholars in May 2012. At that time we completed the paperwork and paid the $150.00 registration fee to hold a spot. We were due to begin care in June of 2012, but due to loss of employment, we did not begin care at that time. She stated that whenever the situation changed, that we could start at that time and registration fee would rollover. We began care on Jan 3, 2013. Knowing that there would be an adjustment period, I did not act on my initial instinct to go elsewhere after the first few days. After about a month of being dissatisfied with the care and the change of policy at a whim, I found care elsewhere and gave 2 week's notice (as a professional courtesy) that we would be leaving. She was in the middle of a tour with a potential parent, so I refrained from giving notice on Monday, Jan 28th. I gave notice the next morning and advised I was obligated until Tues, Feb 12. Being that Little scholars does not prorate tuition, I decided to stay until Friday, Feb 15, but requested if possible, we would like to leave sooner. During the time after I gave notice, we were attempting to transition my child from bottles to sippy cups. She refused to prepare bottles with whole milk, so I continued to bring in prepared bottles. Angela and I agreed that we would offer the sippy cup first and if my child didn't drink enough of it, he would be offered his bottle. After the first few days, I was advised that he drank all of the milk from the sippy and would take home the full bottles that I brought that day. At some point, Angela decided that she would not provide the milk in his sippy and began to pour the milk from the bottles into the sippy cups. On the morning of Tues, Feb 12, I expressed my concern with this policy, as once the milk is poured out of the bottle, it cannot be poured back in. I was concerned that he would not be getting enough milk (he was not drinking his full serving of milk out of sippy at home). more
