I enrolled my three children ( ages 7) into the Summer Program here this summer. It was a disappointing experience. I met with the owner/director twice before making my decision to enroll the children. It was my goal that my children be engaged, entertained, challenged, and eager to attend the program Monday-Friday. The owner gave me a packet detailing the summer curriculum and verbally confirmed there would be "Library Trips, Art Excursions, Gardening, Splash Days, Special visitors, Spanish, Music, and Movement." During the first two weeks my children complained about how boring it was and I noticed that not one of these activities had started. I met with the owner and she stated, "I have been busy with out-of town guests, but I am planning some fun activities for the children. We will take them on a field trip to get yogurt. We will take them to the new park in town. I am going to book some special visitors to bring in some animals or something of that sort." NONE of these ever occurred. The children had one library trip and one splash day every other week. There were no Art Excursions, Special Visitors, Spanish, Music, or Movement. There was no field trip for yogurt or field trip to the park. There were no interesting art projects brought home by the children; they brought home work sheets. When picked up at the end of the day they were usually watching TV or coloring. To top it off, my son was pushed down by an older child and was crying about his arm hurting. They gave him an ice pack. When he was picked up no one even mentioned his injury or had us sign anything regarding this. He continued to whine over the next 36 hours. I took him to the ER and his arm was broken! I reported it to the school and the director never acknowledged the incident nor did she report it as required by law. I wouldn't send any child to this school. It was expensive and didn't deliver the activities as promised. I re-read the 5 star review on now understand... the reviewer works at the school.
Perhaps they're a bit biased???
