So disappointed! Her teacher never even said good morning or good bye to her!! Also I've repeatedly asked for the owner of this site to respond to me personally. So disappointing. Just another money hungry preschool who doesn't care about kids... Original post:: Would give zero stars if I could. My 4 year old used to go to a Church preschool that had little funding but the teachers were passionate about the students. I was able to text the teachers whenever and get a response asap and even got pictures sent to me throughout the day. I spent 3 times more here at primerose expecting they'd do the same since obviously I'm paying more. So disappointed! None of the teachers would greet my daughter when she arrived at school. My mom would be the one to pick up my daughter but she couldn't locate the teacher anywhere in class. I never got pictures of her or even knew what she did daily. Quit the place right away since my daughter who used to love school cried everyday she had to go here. Never again! And will be spreading the word to others who live near by!

Well of them my child getting pushed or hit...When brought up to the teachers you could tell they were doing their best but simply could not watch everywhere. I then had a meeting with the director where she told me "we understand group childcare isn't for everyone we don't take it personally"...interesting take from the director when my child has been in daycare her whole life, absolutely no solution suggested. Within hours of that conversation the final insistent happened where my child was shoved and the children got in a shoving match until one was on the ground-again teachers did nothing. We immediately withdrew her from the school, when meeting with the director to withdrawal she said "as we discussed this morning group childcare isn't for everyone" I was so frustrated by this dismissal of the actual problem, the teachers being overwhelmed and not able to ADEQUATELY supervise these kids. Would caution ANYONE looking to put their child in school here that not only the teachers are spread thin the director doesn't know the kids or care to know the kids enrolled. Not at all solution oriented or invested in their kids happiness, comfort, and frankly safety. But don't worry she "doesn't take it personally". They just didn't care.

So glad we were given the recommendation. We decided to enroll in summer camp this year and it was great. A lot of the area schools were only doing in-house camps and not going anywhere. However, Excel usually has a field trip every day. This is some thing we loved because it gave my son an opportunity to be out instead of just indoors. It certainly made it a lot more interesting. I know he likes all the teachers and staff at Excel. He also loves the food choices that they have each day. We loved it so much that we are going to attend aftercare this year. We will likely be back for summer camp next year. My son is 7 and there were several kids his age in attendance. The director, Lisa is very nice. I'm so happy we found Excel!

My kids and I had a very unpleasant experience with Excel Academy. My kids stayed there from Nov…read more2019 to Mar 2020 (the 4 year old stayed for after school, while the 2 year old stayed full time. Both 3 days/week). This is what I experienced - I came back to the U.S. from my home country at beginning of March 2020. The school forced my kids to be quarantined because I traveled from a high risk country - which I understood. But they rejected to refund the prorated March tuition. In fact they closed right after my kids finished quarantine, and we paid for the whole Mar but only had a chance to go for a few days. Then I decided to withdraw my kids from the school. They rejected to return the deposit (around 500). The reason given was 'the school does not have much cash flow'. Considering small business was facing the risk of bankrupt during the pandemic, I decided to wait. I waited till Sept. Upon my enquiry, they refunded me the deposit. However, about $120 was deducted for 'late pick up fee'. They created a long list of my husband's late pickup on many days, however, neither before the 'late pick up' happened nor after, did we receive any notification on the policy or late pickup charge. That was ridiculous. My kids had stayed with White's Chapel preschool, Trinity church preschool, with each of them clearly announced the rule and gave notifications on the charge once it happened. So we were 'charged' by 127 minutes without even being informed. That was a trick. The front desk Miss Nina is a difficult person to work with. She either has a habit to creat obstacles or she's executing what she was told to. For the kids - Neither of them liked the school. They were happy with all the other 3 schools they attended but not this one. The feedbacks were : the teachers were mean. From my observation, the 2 year old class teacher was basically busy with daily care, like diaper change. She was too busy to teach. My kid (turned 3 year old during her stay) did not bring much art or paper home. The toys in the class were mainly baby toys. The 4 year old after school program - I sent my kids to this school because they promoted a Chinese lesson as enrichment, but it only lasted for 1 month. My 4 year old said her teacher was cold. On Christmas, I helped her make a card for her teacher. She brought it to school and brought it back. She did not give it to her teacher. I asked why. She said, the teacher was not nice to her. What would make a kid make a card but not want to give it out? When i picked them up, I sometimes heard one sub teacher was yelling. Both kids wanted to stop going. Because I had a travel plan, I could not move them before I left. Recently, when I drove by the school, the kids still said I dont like Excel Academy.

Knowing my son is safe, loved, and well cared for every single day gives me complete peace of mind. I want to give a special shoutout to Jojo, Madi, and Robin -- they have been absolutely incredible and have made such a positive impact on my son. Their patience, kindness, and genuine love for the kids truly shows, and it does not go unnoticed. That said, every single teacher here deserves recognition. The entire staff treats the children like their own, creates a warm and positive environment, and communicates so well with parents. My son loves going to daycare, and seeing how happy and comfortable he is there speaks volumes. We are so grateful for all the teachers and staff and everything they do. I would highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a place they can truly trust.

Our Kindergartener was having challenges during the first few months of the school year (last year). We decided to pull the Kindergartener two months into the school year and send to Pre-K (previously skipped) and to Kumon for Math and Reading. The learning and development was instantaneous. Fast forward to 8 months later. Back in Kindergarten and the Kindergartener is 98 percentile in the country in Math and 94 percentile in Reading. Will be joining Hybrid Math for first grade - Math and Reading skills are impressive and this is all owed to Kumon and hard work! The results are similar for Second grader who is in Hybrid Math and breezing through - test scores are top percentile within country! Rohini, the owner and head instructor is amazing. Great with kids and the parents! She is dedicated, smart, professional, and takes pride in teaching and developing the kids.

I have three kids, all who attend speech twice a week at Jump Start and I've seen most of the therapists there. They are all lovely. They CARE about my kids, their interests, they hug them with genuine love and affection. They treat every single patient whether 1 or 21 with RESPECT. They embody the phrase "not being able to talk isn't the same as having nothing to say". I recommend them without hesitation.
