I am extremely disappointed with how this school has treated my son. In the short amount of time he…read morehas been here, a former staff member harassed him--following him to the restroom, making comments about his clothing, asking other students personal questions about him, and constantly picking on him. We reported these concerns and had a meeting about it, but all we were told was that she was no longer at the school. While things slightly improved afterward, nothing was done to address the harm that had already occurred. To make matters worse, another staff member not only went around asking another student for my son's phone number, but she actually called him after school to ask about drama happening at the school--nothing school-related, and nothing appropriate for an adult to discuss with a student. This behavior was completely unprofessional and unacceptable, yet the school chose to ignore it. Despite ignoring repeated misconduct by their own employees, the school immediately moved to expel my son the moment he was involved in one fight--while defending himself. Given everything he has endured, this feels like retaliation. The difference in accountability between a child and adult staff members is alarming. There are also major communication issues at this school. Many teachers struggle with a language barrier that leaves students confused about instructions and assignments, and little effort is made to fix it. This is especially harmful for students with 504 plans, who rely on clarity and support--not additional obstacles. Overall, sending our child to this school has been one of the worst decisions we could have made. Even in such a short time, it has become clear that this school is not here to support or protect its students. This experience has been unfair, discouraging, and completely unacceptable. Students and families deserve far better.

As I go on to high school and think back I hope that the new 6th graders have as awesome as experience in middle school as I had.

Our youngest grandson was playing a football game Saturday afternoon on the field at Stony Point…read moreHigh School. He is on a privately managed & funded team as his public school doesn't offer football. The Field at Stony Point is excellent. It's Astroturf is very well-maintained. There are plenty of stands for the crowd to utilize so their fans have adequate seating. There were umbrellas attached to the metal bleachers-thankfully it's out of the hundreds but still mid to high nineties so many families brought them to protect them from the sun. They only had one entrance open, so it was quite a walk from the parking area. Since I mentioned the parking area, I might as well state that the reason this location gets four stars instead of five is the parking lot (during times when there's game overlap) is way too small and there is no other option. The parking lot that is used for the stadium is next to the little school that's on the corner the Large Parking area that students probably use is not readily available on the weekends. Sadly, because I am directionally challenged, I would not have been able to find my way walking all the way around the buildings that I would need to walk by -to get to the one entrance of the stadium that was open. Now for more positives.....the restrooms were clean and well stocked. There was a concession stand that was open and offered beverages, as well as nachos, candy, and other goodies.. I learned how to purchase my ticket to get in with an app and they offered many choices, (PayPal, Venmo, etc. ) but no cash and their credit card machine was broken. The security people were evident, which I thought was really nice and that I have not seen at games. One of the team family members was manning the admission area and was being a patient and explained how I could purchase my ticket and that if I wanted any concessions-they needed to be purchased in advance at an app also. You were allowed to bring in water, but no other food or beverages . (this proves you can teach an old dog new tricks.!!!) Overall, this was a positive experience, and I hope that the team plays there in the future !!!

Key issue: -My child was bit so hard there was a puncture…read morewound and blood drawn and nothing was done about it and then my son was the one kicked out I'm sure this used to be a well run facility based on the reviews from 5 years ago, but sadly it seems the quality has declined. The first big issue is the apparent inability to keep teachers. In the last 7 months, my son has had 7 teachers for the same age group (2-3) and multiple floaters. 4 of those teachers quit because the conditions and lack of staff support were so bad they couldn't deal anymore (I was told this directly by the ex-teachers) The second big issue (the biggest if you ask me) is the violence of the children that attend the center and the lack of discipline. My son has been bitten multiple times while he's attended there. Each time it occurred and I was made aware, I asked what steps would be taken to make sure it doesn't keep happening and I get told, with loads of attitude, that kids bite and it's an unfortunate thing that happens. In an effort to keep this already long review from turning into a novel, I will specify the most recent occurrence in where my son was bit on his back by another child so hard that it broke skin and bled and then MY son was the one who was told he was no longer welcome at this center (don't worry, we weren't planning to return anyway). I wasn't informed of the bite until I arrived at the school, and learned that an incident report hadn't been filled out yet. The teacher had plenty to say to me about how awful the situation was and how bad she felt and that the same child who bit has been violent recently with kicking and hitting and pinching (though of course management told me that I forced the teacher to say these things because I flustered her so bad when she was telling me how my son got bit. Makes sense right?) I go find the manager and express my frustration at the situation and ask that the owner/director and the other child's parent be contacted about it (because the other child had left and his parents weren't informed at the time of pickup). The manager told me to wait in the office and she would be in there in a minute to call. Multiple minutes go by and the manager never came into the office so I go to find the manager and find her yelling at the teacher for giving me information. I then ask if she was able to contact the owner/director and she said no they left for the day and then I asked if she was able to contact the parent and she said no, I can't force people to answer their phones. I requested a copy of the incident report and was told no, I was not able to have one. I admit, I was definitely upset with the situation. My reaction was completely appropriate considering my son had a puncture wound from another child's teeth. Which brings me to the fun part. I received a call from the director the next morning and was told she was calling me because of the scene I caused the night before. Apparently the manager told her I was screaming and yelling and causing a scene. Now if you've met me, you'll know I am extremely loud at all times unintentionally. I happen to be one of those annoying people that talks loudly and doesn't seem to understand volume control even in the serenest of situations. Having a loud voice does not equal yelling, except in the case when a manager is lying to make herself look better in a situation she escalated due to her extreme rudeness. The director also said the manager claimed I was demanding phone numbers for the owner/director and demanding that the parent be called back up to the school. Both claims I vehemently denied because they absolutely did not happen. (Which can be corroborated by the multiple employees who heard the whole conversation and one of whom came up to me after and said they would be just as upset if it happened to their child and nothing was done about it). Of course the director likely didnt believe me over her manager because I'm the person causing problems and I had already been informed previously by an ex-employee that management did not like me because I "caused issues" by advocating for my sons safety. I was then told my son wasn't welcomed back and we needed to part ways. Of course after all of this occurred, I had multiple people come out of the woodwork with similar horror stories of the way they and their children were treated by this center and I only wish I had been thoroughly warned before trusting this place with my child. If you've had a pleasant experience with this facility, I am thrilled that happened for you and I hope nothing happens otherwise. It's a horrible feeling to be belittled and made out to be a liar when you are just trying to do what is best for your child at a place where you pay them to care for your children.

I have been very happy with this place for my twin boys. When I first signed my kids up at happy…read moretrails, I was in a bit of a bind and needed to make a transition from another preschool quickly. The school worked diligently with me to get both of my kids in quicker than what I anticipated they would be able to. Biting and bullying are things that are just absolutely going to happen at any daycare or preschool. However, I can say that anytime there has been an issue with another kid bullying them or picking on them, I have felt completely comfortable speaking to the staff about it and my concerns have been addressed. On the other side of that coin, whenever the staff have experienced issues with my children miss behaving or acting inappropriately, they talk to me about it and notify me of the behavior so that I can do my job as a parent to address the problem. My boys love going to school at happy trails and are very happy with their teacher as well as the administrators. I would definitely recommend happy trails!
