    Great customer service from all the staff. Love that we can check on the kids through their video…read moresurveillance available to all the parents. Keeps our minds clear when we leave them at the day care.

    As both a pediatrician and a mom, I do not recommend this daycare…read more The staff are not honest about children's daily care. They often logged that my child "ate everything" right after I left, but when I checked the cameras, his plate was still full. When he was in the infant room, I personally observed a teacher, Miss Andrea, mixing formula incorrectly (putting powder before water), which makes it dangerously concentrated. When my 18-month-old began biting more often after the arrival of his baby sister--a completely normal developmental stage--the teachers showed no understanding or empathy. Instead of working with us, arranging a parent meeting, or providing a clear redirection process, they suspended him. Suspending a toddler is not developmentally appropriate; a child that age cannot understand suspension. They told me they were "following policy," but when I reviewed the actual policy, it clearly stated they should have scheduled a meeting with the family first. Even more concerning, one day my child came home with a bite mark. When I asked the staff, they did not even know it had happened. Miss Andrea even suggested that my toddler "might have bitten himself." Accusing a baby of biting himself instead of acknowledging poor supervision is unacceptable and unprofessional. Lupita, the director, was especially disappointing. She lacked the skills and empathy to handle the situation, failed to communicate effectively with us, and made no effort to support our child through this normal developmental challenge. A strong director should guide staff, partner with families, and create a safe, supportive environment. Instead, Lupita was dismissive, unprofessional, and made it clear she did not care about our concerns. Most of the staff appear to be high school students or people with no degree in child development or real training in toddler behavior. The lack of professional knowledge and leadership was obvious from the top down. Also some teachers dont speak English like Miss Silva. After we disenrolled, Lupita and the staff were rude and dismissive, showing no concern for our child or family. Since moving to another daycare, my child has been thriving with no biting issues at all--proving that the problem was the environment at La Petite, not him. Overall, my child was not cared for appropriately or fairly. As both a pediatrician and a parent, I strongly advise families to look elsewhere for childcare.

    Happy Trails Preschool has been a great fit for our busy working family. We appreciate how…read moreaffordable, accommodating, and convenient the school has been for us. They continue to provide a fun and engaging environment for our little one. The teachers and staff do a wonderful job creating memorable experiences. A special shoutout to Miss Savanah and Miss Jackie, if you ever get to meet them they are just the sweetest teachers to our little one and they really created a lasting bond. Happy Trails offers memorable experiences throughout the year with large spaces to burn off energy for outdoor play, water play with toys/water castles/slides/splash pads, and even a swimming pool option in the Summer for the older children. They occasionally have special guest appearances brought in from the Funny Foot Farm too. An added, yet amazing bonus is that they supply the snacks, and lunch. the lunches are warm and prepared by their school chef. My daughter loves the goulash and never comes home hungry. This makes the prep work for the week and mornings so easy. We are thankful for Happy Trails getting us through these young toddler years and milestones. We highly recommend it for parents looking for safe, fun, and affordable care.

I have full trust in the teachers at Happy Trails and especially the head of the program to create a safe, fun, and constructive environment for my kid. Whenever there has been a rare issue with staffing, I found that Terri, the head of the program, moves very quickly, and effectively to resolve the problem - always to the benefit of the kids. My family is not overly religious, and even though Happy Trails identifies as a Christian preschool, I've never had an issue with anything that they have taught or shared. I am going to continue to send my son to after school care at Happy Trails until he is too old to attend.

    This school was the worst mandatory 6 year investment of my life. I'm actually embarrassed that I…read morehave to say I graduated from this hell hole. I'll list pretty much everything I've seen, experienced, and more below. 1. Favoritism- If you are not on the good side of the staff, they WILL pick you out. The staff (excluding teachers and the front desk staff, who are extremely underpaid and under-appreciated) will grant favors to those who they think seem fit. You can see examples of this in their hiring, process as well. Some students may recall an incident where there was a feud between a student, and a student related to a staff member. Needless to say, no matter the evidence provided, the related student was protected, and the other was expelled. 2. Lack of Material, Staff, and Control- I don't know where the school spent their money, but there was never enough books, enough materials, or enough staff. The school couldn't keep control of their students, if their budget depended on it...oh wait, it does! My graduating class was ~12 people. 2 people didn't even show up to the ceremony, and 1 of those people were a 5th year graduate (which is a fairly common thing with this school). 3. No tolerance- This appeals to the same-sex couples. Presidio will try to do what they can to keep same-sex couples from showing affection towards each other. I'm sure many students and parents can testify to that. I'm not sure if this is because of religious, personal, or "professional" reasons, but I do recall a staff member saying this to me, as well as a few other students. "Not in front of the kids. Do it outside of this school." I'm assuming "it" meant expressing themselves in their relationship choices. 4. No Real Classes- Granted a music class where somebody just picks up an instrument and plays with it is fun, where is the learning involved? I learned to read music, and play songs together with my classmates when I was younger. Most of the time, kids in music class did nothing but sit around and play on their phones or watch movies. There was almost never any real learning going on in the class. Also, if you were expecting a PE class, or credit requirement...they didn't have one. I actually graduated without taking any physical activity classes at all. I actually graduated with the amount of credits totaling below what any other public school student would have had to do. I wish I could continue writing about the personal experiences I had there. How my sister suffered because I personally didn't make it to school on time. Or how they don't have a nurse on staff, and diddled their thumbs around when my little brother busted his head open. They still don't have a nurse to this day. I believe there was recently a picketing about it which I saw on the news, yesterday, 9/10/13. Naturally, Presidio board and staff refused to show their faces to the camera. If anybody is interested in even more details, feel free to contact me via email. It should be linked to my posting. This school should be shut down...should have been shut down years ago. I regret even staying long enough to graduate from this "school."

    I have really struggled to write this review because I was very disappointed in the class. To me it…read morefelt disorganized, not singular focused, and I felt the person that said "I need help" the most, one person in particular who showed up late twice barked the loudest and she received the majority "one-on-one" help. She really needed a private class that could work with her schedule. I was so frustrated that I did not come back for the last two classes. I went to pick up my projects and could not find one of them. No explanation just gone. When teaching a class I have found it works best when everyone is working on the SAME project, and the instructor has examples in stages to show and tell them while doing a walk around checking in with students while the class is working on the SAME project/item. This was not the case everyone was all over the place and there really was no organization to the class plus we did not follow what was stated in the class notes. I feel it was poorly organized, lack of instruction and follow-through. Rebecca was our instructor, she is a kind and thoughtful person who is very knowledgeable, and I think if she changed a few things she could make the classes fantastic. This was a beginner's class, so I sincerely feel they need to be more structured and supervised (walkaround). I would like to note that my mother, husband and I all took the class, and this sentiment was felt by all. To be truthful, due to my experience with this first class I will not be taking another class, sorry but that is how I feel. I took this class to gain some rudimentary techniques, relax, and spend some time with family but instead left with two classes to go due to anxiety and learning NOT MUCH to NOTHING! I am not someone who gives up easily but I felt the frustration and anxiety simply was NOT worth the gain or lack there of.

    They don't do this or that!!! If you want to make a bowl or cup, it's the place ...otherwise…read moreuseless!!! The instruction was not there, all I heard we don't do that or that!!!

    Walking by the Tucson Mall towards the wing that was once inhabited by large retailers and now has…read moremore art/toy/entertainment businesses, I stumbled upon Coy's Camps and Classes. The location is unexpected but works well for a camp space that specializes in chess and the owner is even a US Chess Federation certified tournament director. They were very welcoming to my little 6yo who went in knowing only the very, very basics of the game. I'm sure they would have been equally supportive if he knew nothing. During camp, coach Matthew paired them up and walked them through moves and gave ample opportunities for them to play the game at their level. Coach Matthew also worked individually with some kids. The kids had a break and got the chance to play with the giant chess set and an automated chess board (it's like Harry Potter magic!) They have weekday classes for different levels and tournaments. Plus, they also offer STEM camps and other classes. This is the type of place we need in Tucson.

In addition to core subject camps and classes, chess classes, chess camps and chess tournaments are held as well. All classes, camps and tournaments are held both in person and virtually with extremely flexible schedules. My children love Coy's Camps and Classes and they have attended both in-person and online classes. The owner, Molly Coy, is truly passionate about teaching, and her time and dedication to learning is obvious with each class she offers. I highly recommend Coy's Camps and Classes!
