Susanna Wesley Nursery School

Horrid reputation with teachers with education degrees and most not certified ! Use to be a great school but many changes,!Rating 1 which is poor ..... more

My daughter attended this school 14yrs ago and I fell in love. So much so that I was hired as an assistant. It was the best 6yrs!!! I left to have more children. When it was time for them to go, I noticed a big difference. The fun was gone. The happy teachers, that I personally knew, were gone. The director, who is pleasant in public, started hiring friends and church members without degrees. I wanted to come back but was made to "jump through hoops". Finally, the music teacher whom EVERYONE adored was fired because she saw a letter in the office stating how much the school makes. 20 yrs of service and an impeccable reputation, she was sent packing. This school is no longer happy and joyful on the inside and teachers of great skill are being pushed aside. Do your homework before signing up. more

My son just started Kindergarten this past school year and I will credit the teachers, the staff and the teriffic curriculum in place for preparing my son for kindergarten. My daughter currently attends the 4 yr program is thriving! I cannot say enough about the experiences my children have gotten and all of this will be the foundation upon which they will carry with them throughout their school careers. The teachers are impeccable and 110% dedicated to their jobs. The children get 20 mins each day they are there of Music & Movement, which is certainly not found in other preschools. They are exposed to multi-cultures, science, art and literature. Children have many opportunities to explore their environment and teachers take what they see and make it a learning opportunity. SWS has a PTO and Wellness Committee to ensure that everyone has fun and enriching actiities throughout the year. That is not something you'd find necessarily at another preschool. I particularly love the intimacy of a small classroom setting. I know my son needed that when he first started to keep him focused and well taken care of by the teachers. I highly recommend Susanna Wesley School to any parent looking to give their child a loving environment in which they can grow and learn. more

Both of my children attended this school and they both had a very happy, positive experience. The teachers and teachers aides were excellent as well as the curriculum. I was impressed that for a nursery school you did have conferences with the teacher and the children were given report cards. A lot of extras at this school too, compared to others in the area. Teacher to child ratio was 10-1 with one teachers aide sharing her time between two classrooms. We were greeted each day by the director of the school before we even went in to see the teacher! At the time that my children went to Susanna Wesley, extended day was not offered. It now is. Tuition was very expensive but I thought it was worth every penny. more
