Excellent Director and Assistant Director and teachers who love the kids. Christian lessons taught in addition to getting them ready for Kinder.

The Director is not friendly and no one is ever on the same page. Ms. Rowena is very rude and her focus is not the safety of the children. She lies when asked a simple question. My children has lost jackets and their favorite line is “I thought I put all of their stuff together.” The teachers are not fond of the director nor the children. The turn over rate just shows how terrible the school has become. No one is ever happy there, imagine paying for childcare and all the workers are in bad moods. A child was being served noodles with a spoon and struggled to eat their lunch. The director’s concern was me helping instead of why I helped the child. I told the director of the concern and asked if there was any other eating utensils her response was she didn’t know. The director then asked the teacher was the child’s needs taken care of. The teacher whispered “why can’t she just use her hands instead of a fork?” My son is fully potty trained and was in the class with children still in the process a child who still wears pull-ups was moved in to a class with my oldest child. My oldest child is 4 and potty trained,he came home and said there is a child in his class who mom comes and change him.When I asked the Director about how was the child able to moved to a class with kids that are potty trained she grabs the mother of the child and said “there seems to be a problem with your son” that is when I knew that was my children’s last day there. There is at-least 2 teachers who actually try to teach the children. The price is affordable but your children’s well-being is more important. My youngest used to cry every time I would drop him off, now at preschool he wakes up and asks to go to school. My oldest also loves his new school and always ask me is it time to go to school yet.

My daughter has been in the school for about 6 months now. She absolutely loves it! Best decision Ive made. Ive looked and searched for another daycare/preschool since im moving to Mesa but no luck. This place is very clean, kids will be kids but they teach them so much. My daughter has now also learned English I mean Im just blessed! All the teachers are amazing, the director is a sweetheart they all truly care. My daughter loves it. Thank you!!!

Review №5

When my daughter said she was enrolling my grandkids here I was none too happy. I had mixed feelings. Initially it was ok and I say that lightly. My first issue is the staff is ever changing and uneducated. Children are different and dont always behave themselves. Theyre children!! We as adults are to teach exactly that. Different is okay.The Director is none too kind. Always looks upset and unapproachable. The teachers (all but one Ms. Michelle) Ive had to deal with myself seem to be unattached to the children and lack emotion.I gave this place one star because I had to. Parents do yourself a favor and go else where. Do your research, show up unannounced and please get involved.
