When we first inquired about Alphabet Ranch we were told great things. My daughter would not only…read morebe in an age appropriate class she would have structure and curriculum to help her grow and learn before she starts kindergarten. After a month here we were asked if she could be moved up a class because she was more advanced and wasn't progressing with the kids around her and we were thrilled. Sadly this never happened. She was put where ever whenever to make their numbers work even spending time in the baby room and shes FOUR! They put kids wherever is convenient for them so they can fill as many spots as possible and the sanitation there is absolutely appalling! You can smell urine and poop as you walk in to sign your child in and out They have no structure it's more of a play place for your child than anything. They dont work on basics such as writing your name, learning your alphabet or even numbers. My child comes home almost daily notifying me she didn't nap because she was in charge of helping her teacher put other children to sleep again she is only FOUR. My daughter is constantly in a teacher type roll which I am paying them to do and the amount of hitting bitting and inappropriate behavior that goes on here is ridiculous. State is there so often I'm surprised they haven't been shut down yet. The owner herself is hardly there and when she is she doesn't have a clue what's going on. I've had to take receipts back to her multiple times because she's tried to double bill me and her excuse is "sorry I must have messed up the books". If you are looking for a place where your child can have a free for all the entire time your at work this might be a good fit. However if you're looking for a place your child can be safe, have fun, and LEARN I highly suggest you take them else where. Since my daughter has been here there have been multiple citations to the teachers and the school and in the past month I've seen 3 different staff members come and go. I will never reccomend this place they take your money and laugh in your face there is no benefits to this place and sadly I have to give them one star and they dont deserve it. They are beyond unprofessional

Although, I was a bit taken away with her reaction( a little jealous) I felt as comfortable as she did with the warm and structured environment. Not to mention the teachers were so welcoming.

I took a tour of this place recently, because I was THINKING of finding part time care for my 2.5…read moreyear old. I had inquired months back and then they called me a few days ago and asked if I wanted to come and sign up because they are giving out discounts right now. Lol that was the first red flag. Obviously they have lost some business if they are calling people from months prior and offering a discount. Anyways I said why not and I took my daughter there to see it. First and foremost, when I walked into the two year old class room, it smelt like straight up piss. The lady told me they change diapers every two hours unless the kid poops. So these poor kids are sitting in their wet diapers for two hours because they get changed. Disgusting and lazy in my opinion. Then, I was shocked when I walked in there too because aside from the smell, they two year olds were WATCHING TV. Are you kidding? I don't care if it's raining outside there are HUNDREDS of other things and activities to do with two year olds. Why pay someone this much money to sit your kid in front of a tv? This place is a SHAME. And should be out of business. The list of red flags goes on and on, but I couldn't get out of there fast enough. It reminded me how LUCKY I am to stay home with my babies because NO ONE will take care of your kids the way you do. These people clearly do not give a *** about the kids and it was unbelievably horrifying.

So, I've been a client of AKL for about 2 years. The school I started at is far from what it is…read morenow. I waited to post this review until after my children had left, as I fear retaliation by the director of the school. If you're considering going here because the facility is cute and the teachers are nice, run. Please run. The only reason I stayed so long was the two teachers my children had cared so much about them they kept them safe from Other aspects of this school that are just terrible. However the upper management is so terrible that all of the good teachers are gone and the ones that have stayed are almost being abused. It's truly horrible. The new teachers, I couldn't tell you, they have never introduced themselves to me. I was scolded by an apparent new staff and few weeks ago, who I don't even know the name of (she wears crocs and has long brown hair). I thought she was a parent at first. This all comes from the top, my biggest issue, and the issue most people have had is with the Director Suzanne. She's the epitome of all the things we've learned not to do when raising children, yet she raises the children with all the toxic aspects we now know are bad. I've even heard her talk about Mexican women's eyebrows as "chola" brows and multiple times she's tried to sell me on her daughters MLM. Teachers have told me they yell at the kids when no one's watching. I went to the owner, Edmond, multiple times but he really does not care. It's wild, he owns this business and has a daughter but my emails were met with kind words and literally nothing else. Expect when Ms. Suzanne confronted me about a private email of concern I had send Edmond about her that she had read. We ended up arguing at drop off and I was late for work that day. The schools been claiming they're raising Tuition to fix the buildings, they've been claiming this for years, I have never seen anything fixed, only things deteriorate more. The only thing I experienced was the lock on the gate not working for months, and nothing being done until a homeless man entered the school and they had to do an active shooter drill. Yes, babies, and toddlers doing their first reason active scooter drill. The only reason I know this is because a teacher was so shaken at pick up I made her tell me. THE SCHOOL DID NOT EVEN LET PARENTS KNOW. I hope they get it fixed because it's a beautiful school with some very nice teachers that they underpay and are literally horrible to. I am not the only one that thinks this, many families have left because Ms. Suzanne had picked on them until they feel they're not welcome. Many teachers have left because they dont agree with the ways she micromanages them and treats the children. There are SO many other wonderful schools that are cheaper, nicer, and safer. Save yourself the headache and find something else.

The cozy front and back yards are filled with thoughtfully designed sensory and tactile play areas that help children regulate their nervous systems while encouraging open-ended play, creativity, and imagination. Every little detail -- from the fragrant foam and sprigs of fresh rosemary in the mud kitchen to the handmade cinnamon-scented playdough -- speaks of genuine love and care for children. There's a sandbox, a fairy garden, real tools that little builders will love, and even a table tucked into the shade of a tree for anyone who wants to sit down and have a snack. Every other week, a musician comes to visit, hands out musical instruments to the children, and sings different songs with them. To say we loved this place would be an understatement. Three hours flew by in what felt like a single moment. Absolutely recommend!
