It was the best decision of my life and only wish it was an option for my 2 older children when they were going through. It is a cute little neighborhood preschool. It offers such a personable feeling. Rebecca and all her teachers feel like family to me and my family. My daughter is excited to go to school and excited to come home and tell me all about her day and what she did. I am truly grateful for her being able to go here. They offer a Christian learning environment at Little Camellia Schoolhouse with lots of hands on activities for the kids to be engaged. If I could keep my child here until college I would;)

It is always beautifully decorated which makes it feel very cheerful and inviting! I have been to many other preschool centers and they always seem uninviting and cold (that is not the case at Little Camellia). The ladies that work there are some of the loveliest people I have ever meet. You can tell they love what they're doing and they love the children. It has 6 classrooms and a very nice playground with slides, swings, riding toys, sand table and a lot more. The classrooms have cubbies for every child, group tables, and different educational centers set up. When we arrive we are always greeted by someone and have to check in and out. I have walked into other preschools where no one has ever stop or questioned me (that did not feel safe). When I've come at naptime there are always teachers in the classrooms watching the children and working on lesson plans. The Little Camellia Schoolhouse is a PRESCHOOL that focuses on learning! They have daily BIBLE, MATH, READING, and SCIENCE lessons. I love The Little Camellia Schoolhouse because it is NOT a daycare where I drop my kids off and they do nothing all day and all the workers do is feed them meals and let them run around, and unlike most centers I get to provide my children with a healthy lunch with things I know they like to eat, instead of them eating whatever is served that day (or not eating because they are a little picky). The tuition is very reasonable compared to the other centers in this area. Having had different experiences with other preschool centers in the Slidell area I wouldn't send my children anywhere else!

Let me preface this by saying, my husband is a civil engineer and I'm a web developer. We are…read morereasonable, well-educated people who are not the types to leave reviews, but our experience with this daycare was so bad we feel inclined to offer some insight into those considering this facility. Most importantly, we want to warn other parents who love their child as much as we love ours about some potential problems. Personally, I wish I had gone with my gut instinct when on my son's first day no teacher bothered to let me know how he did, or even approached me, when I picked him up from the preschool, because they all were too busy sitting at a picnic bench while the big and little kids all played outside. Numerous times we discussed switching throughout our experience with this daycare, but we wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt since as mentioned above, I feel like we are reasonable people. Here are the major issues we found to be point of concerns from our experience here: 1) Understaffed: There is a promised class-size ratio, and it seems like at certain times of day what is allowed by the state (7:1) was certainly surpassed in the toddler class. Even if it wasn't, teachers often seemed overwhelmed by large groups in the toddler class - one even letting us know she could not keep an eye on all of them. The lead teacher of our son's class even recommended searching for a facility with smaller class sizes when we brought up to her we were seriously considering removing our child. 2) Low-quality staff: There were a couple of teachers who were approachable and experienced, but for the most part, many were impersonal at best or seemed to lack basic knowledge one expects from a childcare worker on basic developmental phases. When any issues arose, as one can expect from the 1-2 year old range, we were often told by professional childcare workers that "I don't know what to do" which is an absurd thing to hear about basic developmental stuff with toddlers. This is not rocket science, but takes patience, staff, and close supervision. 3) Apparent lack of supervision: Often older children would wonder from room to room with no sort of supervision. This facility even has been reported for this issue, where one student stapled another students without the staff being aware: http://carefacility.doe.louisiana.gov/BlasPDF/SOD_08012018_50918_609720.pdf "1713 A Supervision: Children were not under supervision at all times as: On 7/16/18, O1 discovered a staple in C1's right thumb. According to O1, he picked C1 up from the center around 4 pm and they went home. O1 was washing C1's hands and discovered the staple in C1's right thumb. O1 took C1 to the Emergency Room where the staple was removed. According to S3, she gave C1 the stapler to hold while they were working on a class project. S3 does not know when C1's thumb was stapled. According to S3, C1 did not say anything and did not indicate he was hurt in any way. S3 was unaware of the staple in C1's thumb until notified by S2 of the incident around 4pm-4:30 pm. C1 was not closely supervised while C1 held a stapler since a staple was in his thumb and staff was not aware that a staple was in C1's thumb." From my personal experience, I noticed often when I came early to pick up my son that teachers would be just sitting and sometimes looking at their smart phones. Due to the lack of supervision, there were frequent "incidents" from bites, falls, and scratches. This is normal toddler behavior but given the frequency it is hard for me to believe the facility is adequately staffed, or if it is, that the staff are paying close enough attention. When I told other childcare workers about what happened at our gym daycare and other friends, this was their exact response, the facility is obviously not hiring enough teachers or hiring the right teachers.

So at the time this was my letter that I wrote to my daughter and the class of 2020 and I would like to share it: My beautiful daughter was suppose to walk the stage today May 4th 2020, unfortunately along with prom, senior trips and other milestone celebrations, graduation was canceled. It's a bittersweet ending for the Graduation Class of 2020. It's devastating actually, these rites of passage are never going to happen for them. For a teenager, next to getting their drivers license, going to prom, senior trips, and graduation are big events they have been looking forward too their whole life. I simply cannot imagine the hurt and frustration this Class is possibly going through. Let's face it, getting your diploma in the mail just isn't the same. And although many lives have been more impacted by Stay-at-home orders, let's make no mistake about it--this loss is legitimate. My heart cries for you, and I want you to know that this cold unceremonious end to what you were surely counting on being the most fun-filled days of your life is not your fault. Nothing can change with what has been done. But some how, some way, you will get through this. You are the Class that will be the most strongest and the most resilient. Class of 2020, you have my heart and my prayers, and I know there is nothing you can't accomplish. Keep fighting the good fight, stay hopeful and--most importantly--wash your hands.
