The field trip was not provided , although I paid 90 dollars registration fee and 161 dollars a week , and he did so well and worked hard all week to deserve it. The summer camp has older kids , whose picked on my child and constantly brought their tablets, did games and went to websites and used inappropriate language, as my son informed me. The new young teacher shows a lot of favoritism and gave candy as a reward to kids and only to those she liked. We have to find better and cheaper care without us worried of our son deprived from fun and bullied by the older kids and us telling us to get him in medications ( he is only 6!).

The program is a wonderful balance of structured group activities and free learning, with an emphasis on creativity and character development. Concepts like the alphabet, seasons, numbers, and days of the week are introduced in a fun, gradual way. The thing that really sets the Beehive apart is the warmth and caring extended by the teachers, parents, and kids. Ms. Ertz and Ms. Chesser genuinely love their work and absolutely pour themselves into what they do. They truly do an incredible job and "bring it" every single day. I have gotten more than a couple parenting tips from watching the expert way they are able to soothe high emotions and create an environment where the kids are motivated to act with kindness and respect. Finally, I would like to say that my daughter is seriously ecstatic about her teachers, friends, and all the activities she does at school. She constantly pretends to be a teacher at home now, and she has learned so much from the other kids (thanks to a lot of gentle teacher guidance) about sharing, kindness, and the joys of being a good friend. I whole-heartedly recommend the Bee Hive for anyone who celebrates childhood and wants a holistic, intelligent, loving preschool program for their little one.

Both my husband and I grew up in public schools and choosing Hammond was a big decision and investment for our family. I regularly ask my kids if they are glad to be at Hammond and the answer is always a resounding, "Yes!". Hammond provides my children with an opportunity to be challenged, to grow in their passions, to experience new opportunities, to excel in becoming a well rounded individual that has a healthy respect for academic, athletic and cultural excellence. We have seen much growth and change at Hammond in our 13 years with technology, new facilities on campus, curriculum as it is an environment that knows to excel you can never stop learning and being open to change. Helen Kiser joined the Hammond family this past summer as LS Head and has already won the respect as well as the hearts of students, faculty and families. I know that with her passion for children and positive nature our LS will continue to amaze and engage our students to do great things and more importantly become kind and generous citizens. I have said to many parents that ask about our US, the guidance and dedicated partnership your family receives from the College Counseling Department in 9th-12th grade is well worth the investment of tuition. If you are looking for a positive, challenging and well rounded environment for your children, I hope you will visit Hammond. It was the best decision our family has ever made and we have three kids that agree.

WARNING our daughter went to Kids Garden for just 3 days. The first day she came home saying "bad…read moreboy hit me in the head" the teacher had to intervene, apparently. I didn't find all this until we called in. No one bothered to tell us when we picked her up. The 2nd day went just fine. But on the 3rd day my daughter let out a yelp when I was taking her shoes off after we got home. I asked her what was wrong and she said "bad boy kicked me" after a closer look she had a decent size bruise on her leg! Again no one told us anything when we picked our daughter. So we asked why we were not informed again, and if we could review the video footage. Their response was to terminate our daughter from the program, wasting our time and money. This day care sweeps issues under the rug in hopes that Kids don't tell their parents. And G-D forgive those that just want to see what happened to make sure their kid is really in a safe environment!

** Parents Beware ** We enrolled our two year old son into…read morethis facility and from the first day he started I was never at peace with this daycare. The main access door into the facility was secured by a very cheap residential type code lock which holds a maximum of 4 different codes so this means the daycare has no way of suspending access to someone or maintaining a secure access within the facility. Secondly the video surveillance system is a DIY system and this facility has zero exterior cameras which is a HUGE safety concern. I tried to bring these concerns up to the director Rose Mary attention and she was very arrogant to my concerns and ended up hand writing a note to put on the owners desk so he and I could dicscuss in more detail. However three weeks passed and l did not hear from him so I followed up via the website inquiry form and Sandra responded saying they never received a note the night I submitted the online inquiry but then changed her story the next day stating that's Rose Mary ( the director ) said I was trying to sell them a security system. I found this to be very discouraging because 1. I am not in the security system industry. 2. Even if I was trying to sell them a system as a parent of a child attending their daycare a follow up call would be professional. However after debating with a very unprofessional owner Sandra I now know why I did not receive a follow up. She not only claims to have some " open door policy " as stated on their website. She refused to have a meeting with me as I requested several times via email regarding the above safety concerns. Her response was All these years we haven't had any issues. End of day if you would like to have your children treated like they are in a toddler day jail. Served food that is heated in a microwave with a scoop of Apple sauce. A daycare that is not secure and John Doe off the street could easily walk into because of their lack of investment into a commercial grade access control stystem. A daycare that has a surveillance system that has no exterior cameras not even one at the front door. (Correction there is a camera at the front door that is dangling by the cord but it was from the previous owner and does not work) then that's what you will get here. In closing- if a daycare has to market " Christian " within their name, they don't have a review link on their social media page, and has a very short waiting list then that's even more of a red flag. Keep your children safe and find another place for them!
