I cannot disagree more. I have a child with Down Syndrome that is in this preschool. All of the…read morestaff have been extremely supportive, caring and more than accommodating. His "aid" as you said is most likely the same as I have and she is wonderful! I can not say enough about her. I also know of three other children that she has supported and their families all share the same feelings as I do. When the teachers and support workers try and encourage your children to do something they are not trying to get your child to "conform" to their ways but rather trying to push your child to be the best they can be. This can sometimes be a learning process for the child and can be difficult for them but none of the staff would ever, ever push your child so hard that they were upset the way you are saying. I have spent a lot of time in class watching and have never witnessed anything like this. When my son started he was not walking and could not feed himself and now he is starting to do both and I owe a lot of it to his support workers persistence and dedication to him. I am sorry that you had this experience but I feel that Discovery Playhouse is an excellent preschool and would recommend it to anyone. And remember for any child with special needs, there only limitations are those you put upon them.

I was very unhappy with this preschools inability to cope and help with a special needs child,…read moretheir attitude of trying to make them "normal" is unacceptable. They supplied an "aid" who was not willing to listen in regards to this child's needs. Also caused stress to this child in trying to make them do what the other children were doing when clearly this child had no understanding in what the other children were doing. Trying to fit a square peg in a round hole and stressing out this child. There is nothing wrong with being different, every one is different, but the lack of them actually trying to work with this child's specials needs was appalling and more important it was for them to try to make this child conform to their way. Special needs is special needs. If they could not help this child "play" and learn play how is it that they can help any child with special needs . I would not recommend this pre school for any child

We've looked at about 14 centres at this point. In that pool, I would say there was 1 5 star, 3 4…read morestar, and the rest were 1-2. Needless to say, they all cost an arm and a leg. This is the 5 star. From the moment we walked in the door, we were hit with a sense of both home and calm. The environment was all about calm, neutral colors, child lead art, plants, animals, and natural materials like wood, branches, leaves, and pinecones. When we walked past the kitchen, it smelled like fresh baking (the children were cooking with one of the teachers). On the rug in the adjacent area, an instructor was leading a group of children in a yoga class. It was almost comically amazing. We were lead through to the main activity room and talked a bit about the philosophy of the centre, where we learned that they follow a 'emergent' curriculum, which is apparently about learning the children's interests and building the curriculum to suit. Naturally. Though I wasn't surprised, I was still very disappointed to learn there are more than 100 families ahead of us on the waitlist. Still, we may get in depending on the circumstances. Here's hoping!

I love that they balance play with learning and social skills. Communication with parents is always clear, and I always feel in the loop. Finding a daycare you can fully trust is hard, but this place has truly been a blessing. Knowing my daughter is happy, cared for, and thriving gives me complete peace of mind.

This school is definitely one of the best decisions we have ever made for our son, and this was specially evident in his transition to his elementary school education. Not only does he flourish in mathematical and analytical thinkings, his behaviors at home and at his extracurricular activities have also demonstrated his improvements throughout his life at Monarch. The principal(Ms. Grace) and the teachers(Ms. Paige and Ms. Julia) have put so much time and efforts into their kids, and the community there(among the parents and kids) is just fantastic! Just like what we have told Ms. Grace, it's really sad that Monarch doesn't have classes after kindergarten, otherwise we would leave our son there for as long as he could.

My son loves Dinosaur Daycare and I know that he feels loved and secure while there. It's a bonus that he is also learning and developing as much as he is, but in a caring environment like that, it makes complete sense. I cannot recommend Dinosaur Daycare enough.
