Worst school ever! The one teacher was ok, yet the principal is out of touch with reality and they…read moreonly care about money. My kid was crying and when we went to pick him up the had him in a corner and was towering over him like he was an animal! Every morning he would cry and would say "she (the principal) was mean", but we discounted what he said. We feel so bad we didn't listen to our child as this place is not good. Don't be fool by the sweet words during the orientation and school visit. I mean maybe you won't have the same experience as we did, but is it worth the risk?? There are plenty of schools to take a chance on if you ask me. Needless to say we chose another school (CFA) and all of my kids are thriving and the one they said was a problem gets the role model award daily. Different school, teachers, environment, yet same kid so who's the problem. Even met other parents that left the school as well and also had a bad experience as well, so at least we know it's not just us.

Everyone in this school is fake all around they portray a smile, and wave at drop off and pick up, trying to fool the parents to believe they are who they really are not.

When I first came here on August it was good we had a great principal but sadly got fired. Another thing is that we can't use our phones even when school is over.

So has I said I would not recommend sending your child to this school. I recommend a different private school.

I had my daughter in the VPK for 2 1/2 months. I do not recommend sending children to the YMCA…read morePreschool since I honestly do not believe they have the interest of the children at heart and are there to essentially make money. I will explain why. There was a wonderful VPK teacher which suddenly left with 2 weeks notice at the start of the school year. There was a woman in the class identified as a helper to her but not the VPK teacher. The parents received notice that a new VPK teacher would come, who either was in training, or never there. In the end the class helper assumed the control of the class. Immediately there was a difference when I would ask my daughter what she learned for the day, and she just mentioned that they played all day. When the previous VPK teacher was there she articulated many wonderful things she learned for the day such as colors, letters, days, etc. She used to get small weekly homework assignments from the previous VPK teacher and all of that came to an abrupt end. I brought it to the attention of the front desk staff who was rather disinterested and told me to ask the new helper. I went to her and inquired, and she sent me to another teacher in another class, who said "oh they have homework" I didnt know, and merely told me to do another letter for the weekly homework. I went to the front desk and asked if the "helper" was a VPK teacher and was barked at with a "she has a Bachelors in Early learning development" and she seemed very defensive. I walked in to drop off my daughter one day and she was yelling at a new child who was crying because his mother left him. She softened her tone when I fully entered but it was not nice to see. After I inquired about her VPK status, all the photos of the VPK teachers (she was never on the wall) were taken down. I am really disappointed in this school and program since I was sold a really qualified school with excellent state certified VPK teachers by the schools director, and when I finally requested a transfer she wanted to know why and offered to transfer my child to a new VPK class. There is a clear lack of communication with the front desk and the Director because she could have been made aware of this issue when I brought it up weeks ago. PROS: Close schools for Homestead families CONS: Inattentive VPK teacher, and front desk who do not listen to concerns The school is really providing inadequate education for families who are poor and also do not speak much English Costly for the level of care, education and supervision provided. Policies in the handbook are not adhered to Toys and play equipment are never cleaned and wiped down. Look for somewhere else to send your children, I do not recommend, there are many other issues, but from an educational standpoint this is not the place.

It's super close to home, my little one has only been here less than 1 month and so far I'm thrilled. It's a Christian school also so that perk is great. I love the fact of having her here. Her teacher is wonderful "Mrs. Chavez" she's super sweet and patient. As an older mom of 1, I'm a worry wort but Mrs Chavez always makes me feel great. I gotta say that the other teachers and after school staff are the best! Everyone is so nice and it's just a wonderful ambiance. I'm very happy so far.

We have seen them go through a complete administration change last year and make changes all for the better. As with all big changes to any organization with new leadership there have been some bumps, but the transparency given by the administration about how they intend to handle or fix the issues is so reassuring. The school is safe, and their security team is top notch. It's a school where everyone is going to know who you and your children are and you won't be just another number. We feel so blessed to have found this school and will be sad to leave it whenever our time comes to move away.
