My son attended the Young School at Honeygo Plaza for about a year of pre-k. He had a good…read moreexperience and left much better prepared for the classroom structure of kindergarten. This school takes a more curriculum/teaching-oriented approach rather than simple "day care". They follow a pedagogical philosophy similar to Montessori, emphasizing freedom and harnessing each child's own specific interests and motivations. The biggest strength of YS is the outstanding teaching staff, all of whom care deeply about the well-being and growth of the children. The different teachers within the "cottage" of four adjoining classrooms developed individual connections with my son and the other children, knowing well their various interests and quirks. The pre-k cottage director, Ms. Jess oversees the classrooms with expertise and a deep sense of empathy. She effectively fields informal chats with parents about questions and concerns that pop up on the fly. Between the wonderful teachers and cottage director, I always felt that my child was in very safe and nurturing hands. The classroom atmosphere is warm and inviting. There is lots of natural light and many learning stations with carefully thought-out objects left for the children to "discover". Kids get zero screen time at the Young School. Instead of punishing children, behavior is managed through redirection and talking.  Healthy snacks are offered, and the staff teaches and practices good hygiene. The main area that could be improved upon is communication from the director. On several occasions, I received mass emails chastising (unnamed) other parents for taking screenshots of the live video feed, requesting child-specific changes to naptime logistics, incorrectly using cubby space, and calling in to the classroom during non-naptime hours. ("Any parent disrupting the day too frequently will lose camera access and a parent meeting will be requested.") I would prefer these types of issues be resolved by one-on-one conversations with the relevant parents, rather than public shaming. The unprofessional tone of these emails was underscored by a lack of basic proofreading. My child's classroom had high turnover, with three different teachers in a six-month period. Shockingly, when one left and was replaced by a brand new employee, parents were not given any notice whatsoever. I showed up one morning to drop off my son in his classroom and encountered a total stranger who claimed to be in charge. Luckily, another teacher was in the cottage area and vouched for the new teacher's legitimacy. Lack of preemptive communication on this type of matter is unacceptable. Another instance of poor communication occurred when initially attempting to enroll my child. The paperwork was confusing and I had trouble getting questions answered, as other reviews have noted. Overall, I recommend the Young School as a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for child; parents may have to deal with some unneccesary hassles.

this is a follow up to my previous review from three months ago. Three months have passed and my…read morechild is still traumatized by his experience at the school after only 2 days. whenever we happen to drive near or in the shopping complex where the school is located, he gets nervous as if I am going to take him back (it's near a UPS and a restaurant we frequently eat at.) this evening he randomly shared that the director stated that she was going to put him a classroom with babies. this is new information that he didn't share with me three months ago. this school owes my child an apology and should consider adding new emotional intelligence training for their administrative staff. there is no exception to this type of behavior. I've received no phone call from the owners to discuss the experience. parents beware!

It is true that you need to conform to a certain religious standard- it is a private school after all- but the caring and nonjudgmental attitude of the dean, Mrs. Rosenbaum, is unmatched by any school in the region. She selflessly makes time for any student who is truly interested in learning. The instructors broach difficult and controversial topics and welcome any and all questions. The level of learning is high but manageable. It is one of the most genuinely open and accepting seminaries , I would dare say, in the world. If I had another three daughters I would send them as well. P.s. There is an optional afternoon and evening program that includes several choices of courses of study to obtain a bachelors. With careful planning it is possible to obtain a bachelors in a year or so as a stepping stone to a graduate degree.

Sadly, I am unable to leave a review with 0 stars…read more I attended the 3-night security training course with Security Training Academy and the experience was extremely unprofessional. Within the first portion of the class, the instructor clearly stated that taking pictures of the slides was allowed (no video or audio recording). That guidance directly contradicted what happened on the second night, when an individual who later claimed to be the owner abruptly interrupted the class and aggressively singled me out by name, threatening to remove me for doing exactly what we had been told was permitted. There was no attempt to clarify policy, no professionalism, and no respect shown. The situation escalated unnecessarily and created a hostile learning environment. I deescalated and continued the course, but the damage to the overall experience was already done. To make matters worse, once that individual left, the instructor admitted that we had, in fact, been told photos were allowed and apologized. That inconsistency and lack of leadership speaks volumes. As someone who coordinates trainings for a large security company and was actively evaluating potential providers, I can say this experience alone disqualified this organization from consideration. Consistency, professionalism, and clear communication are basic expectations for any training environment, and this fell short on all three. I would not recommend.

One of my daughter's tutors actually told her to use the Princeton Review content as it was better than Varsity Tutor content. The Tutors were ambivalent about setting work in between sessions and even about booking next session. In fact, initial tutor had to change schedule that was in conflict with my daughter's sport practices - and we lost 4 hours of tutoring completely. I had been promised additional hours back and a new tutor when I called into customer service but then received an email stating that the hours would not be credited after further review. My daughters score did improve - but I think that was mostly due to her dillegence on practicing the test. Finally, we had signed up for 3 months - but then kept getting charged and was told it is non refundable. Don't buy into the marketing - get your kids in a Princeton Review session or even better a live in person option.
