I rarely write posts like this, but I feel compelled to share our experience with the homeschool…read morevendor Beyond Alphabets, run by Saeedeh Rad. I initially enrolled my children in the art camp (9-1) for June. Everything went fine. Ms Rad also mentioned a STEM camp in the afternoons (1:30-4:30), which we planned to add in July when we needed longer drop off support. Here's where things went sideways... I paid for the art camp the day before camp started in July and then followed up via text to confirm and pay for STEM. Ms Rad even asked what focus the kids wanted for STEM, which reinforced that we were able to enroll in both camps. The next day, however, I received a message around 12:30 saying my kids were almost done for the day. I replied, confused, since they were supposed to be enrolled for full days. That's when I learned that both art and STEM now ran simultaneously from 9-1. I was stunned. (Ms Rad said she mentioned this in the text, which she did, but I clearly misunderstood her text, as I was working off the schedule on her website, which still had two camps at independent times each day) Despite what she mentioned in the text and knowing I had already enrolled - and paid - for the art camp, she accepted a second payment for a simultaneous STEM class a couple of hours later and then refused to issue a refund less than 24 hours later when the mistake came to light! Her policy may be "no refunds," but this wasn't a cancellation or change of mind. This was a double-booking she approved and she knew about. I don't see how a "no refund" policy applies to a double-booking that an owner knowingly approved. Unfortunately, it didn't end there... On my children's final day, Ms Rad emailed my husband in the morning prior to drop off and asked us to pick them up 1.5 hours early to "accommodate staff breaks" that hadn't happened during the time my children were at camp. In effect, she was trying to retroactively reclaim break time - on the last day - after charging us for full-day camps all along. Not only is that highly unprofessional, but it also makes no sense. No one was ever asked to pick up early in June when full day attendance was open. And for context, our children were the only ones there past 1. This was not a simple miscommunication - it was a deeply unethical and highly unprofessional experience that left a terrible impression and taste in my mouth. I genuinely cannot recommend Beyond Alphabets based on my experience

She had 6 hours to attend still and after arranging her schedule with him he marked her absent in classes that he called me on the phone to cancel! He then denied totally calling me or canceling the classes. This place is a big mess and they will be very happy charging your credit card hundreds of dollars and then canceling your classes saying it is not their fault. He won't refund me the money and won't remove my credit card from the system. It is a big scam!! Don't ever go there. Unprofessional and can't care less about your kid.
