    I regret sending my child here. He is actually worse off socially for having attended.

    WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!!…read more For privacy reasons, we want do not want to be contacted. Our child went to this school. We withdrew our child when our child told us Ms. Peggy (teacher of the blue room) spanked our child and the other students in the class. She SPANKED our kid very hard. Our child told us she especially spanks the younger kids in class. My child told me there was a young boy that get punished (spanked) several times throughout the day because he doesn't listen well. Not only she put her hands on our child she told our child to keep it a secret because she would also punish the parents if the kid was to tell. Our child also mentioned the assistant arguing and yelling at Ms Peggy for spanking students. The school has cameras in each classroom. The school administrators have to know Ms.Peggy spanks kids. She is a horrible person. I am glad my child was able to tell me. It would kill me if my child never told me. If you love your kid DO NOT consider this school!!! The world is already a crazy place. School should be a safe zone and I hope no parents have to ever experience what we been through. We are putting this horrific event behind us. We just wanted parents to know about the school!! You been WARNED!!!! Don't take a chance or any risk when it comes to your kids!!!

    They took great care of our little girl for almost 2 years! My spouse and I both work (he works…read morefrom home and I'm in the military) so when our daughter turned 1, we enrolled her at lil' rascals to help alleviate the workload at home. As any new mom, i was beyond anxious to "send her to a stranger" but I was so glad we found lil' rascals. I believe her teachers genuinely love their students, and seeing my daughter interact with them, I knew she loved them too. Lil' rascals also was extremely helpful with my military childcare subsidy program. It's a lot of paperwork and keeping track but between them and my husband, they were super easy to work with and very understanding (govt money can take some time to get there). I trust the staff completely and it truly was one of my saving graces of this particular military unit. Miss Yuli, miss Tonya and miss Jenny are so sweet and special to us! Thank you!!

    Now that my child is no longer attending Lil Rascals, I felt it is time to write a review. I have…read morehad experience for daycare, VPK, summer camp & aftercare. While we did not have a horrible experience we did not have a stellar one. The last straw was definitely the Director (who had been there our daughter's entire tenor) left without any notice to the parents (she knew she was leaving). This was very emotional for our daughter since this director claimed to "love" our child and I had to explain sometimes people you love leave. Daycare: Our daughter was relatively happy. They have early drop off and 6pm pick up, so it makes it very convenient for working parents. We started at 4 yrs old so I can't speak for the baby rooms. They started on the road to learning and preparing the kids for VPK VPK: We felt that the VPK program was very good and prepared our daughter for kindergarten. The teachers genuinely cared about our daughter and she had a good experience. Summer: the summer between VPK and K, the kids continued learning to insure they didn't forget what they learned in VPK. They also had a lot of in house activities and a once a week field trip. The school age kids went on field trips M-Th. and had themed days on Fridays. All in all it was a good experience for the VPK to K transition summer. Aftercare: aftercare...during my daughter's first year of aftercare it was okay. The kids are mixed from kindergarten to the oldest school age. I was not thrilled about this. The room also had about 2 college aged teachers watching all of the kids. They worked on homework with the kids, however, it was extremely loud and chaotic. At the end of the school year the assistant director left (quite abruptly) and was not replaced until very recently. During our 2nd year, our experience did not improve. Pick up from our daughter's school was delayed due to the lack of help. She got out of school at 2 and did not arrive at Lil Rascals until after 3 pm. Cons: turn over of staff is horrible. When we finally left only 2 staffers were still there from when we started. We were only there 3 years. One was a VPK teacher and the other was the woman who took care of the food, cleaning, ect. They are not responsive to communication and don't "own" anything. They raise the cost every session and also added a fee for paying by credit/debit card. They put zero money back into the school and zero money into their staff and any enrichment for them. Summary: I would say yes to this place for toddler & VPK...no to aftercare.

The amazing staff with so much heart and caring mindset allows our daughters strive. After completion of her daycare through pre-k studies at PWA, our oldest daughter just won student of the month award amongst her 1st grade class in her new school. The staff anchored by principal Mrs Terri is really committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment and we're very thankful to her and the whole team for all the great job.

From yoga to music class, letter sounds or climbing the rock wall outside, she is engaged and continually learning throughout her day. It's not just me who finds PWA to be an outstanding educationally centered preschool. My friend, an elementary teacher in the area, says that children who attended PWA come into her class ready and prepared for kindergarten. In addition to the exceptional learning environment, PWA goes the extra mile to promote a clean and healthy environment. The school is very clean and all children wash their hands when they arrive at school and throughout the day. My daughter likes the food and I like the meal choices/healthy snacks. All of my daughter's teachers have been warm, organized and responsive. I can see what my daughter is learning using the school's communication app. This is a huge plus for me - her teacher uploads pictures throughout the day, we can chat and share documents digitally. My daughter wakes up and wants us to take her to school (even on the weekends). As a working mom, it's such a blessing to find a preschool that not only teaches my child but also genuinely cares about her. Thank you PWA for all you do.
