Where do I start?
There is a reason this place is at less than 50% capacity. Sure, they will say the economy has them running below 50% capacity. Try again. Its because they care about your money before your child. Check out any other center in Yorba Linda or Placentia and you will find completely full centers. (most have waiting lists). That should tell you something. If a center has a waiting list - its probably a good place. This YL Tutor Time is the worst experience I've ever had. They tolerate bullying, biting and hitting. (While you are at work - your child is having to learn how to defend themselves from classmates. The teachers do NOT discipline, guide or redirect kids with bad behavior. Your child will be on their own.) Your child will likely pick up bad behaviors. There is no effort to increase/improve speech or social skills. Its basically a free-for-all daycare (not a learning center) with a ratio of 12 kids to 1 teacher. All the teachers are very young and ill-equipped/trained. The owner of 8+ years (Deborah) of this Tutor Time franchise is completely frazzled 100% of the time. Just spend 5 minutes with her and your decision not to enroll at the school will be perfectly clear.
My best piece of advice - do NOT go there. If you do - tour the school with the owner, ask questions and trust your gut. I'm sure you will come to the same conclusion.
