We have taken numerous fitness classes at the "J" and each one has exceeded our expectations. We have also sent our son (and now our daughter) to Sara Walker Nursery School. It is a phenomenal school with loving and nurturing teachers. Our son was in the Terrific Tots, 2's, 3's and 4's program. These programs fully prepared him for Kindergarten. I can't speak highly enough about the school, the teachers, the curriculum and the care he received at the school.

I love the cooking classes, the reinforcement to kids of their goods qualities and they position on working weak areas in a positive way. They keep the ratio proper. Great art program, gym puritan and music/art focus open up minds. They genuinely love and care for the children and vice versa. The hours work for working city parents. Cons: Some if the teachers who are young and friendly with the leadership get preferential treatment without having the maturity it takes to be a teacher or a leader. If that is obvious to a parent, I can only imagine what it must feel like to be there in that awkward situation. A couple centers will need to watch themselves. The one campus I strongly recommend is the camp ave original campus. They have the structure and disciplines through experience that help bbelc keep that reputation strong.

The LRR team has been welcoming; from our son's initial introduction to the facility, they have kept us well informed of how he was transitioning to a new campus and classroom. The team has done a great job of developing and sustaining a strong partnership with parents. That parent partnership has extended beyond the initial introduction as teachers set up Zoom sessions to virtually tour the classroom. They could continue dialogue with us as parents around upcoming programming and events. Bright Horizons on Long Ridge has also done a great job fostering strong communication with families throughout this challenging time with COVID to keep us up to date on any impacts to the facility, staff, and/or classrooms. This communication has given us confidence that we are well informed, and our son is well cared for at this facility. Thanks for the continued communication and partnership!

I would NOT recommend this preschool with the current director in place. I can't say enough about…read morethe teachers they are absolutely amazing, however if there are issues in the classroom the director does not remedy the situation in the proper manner. Their handbook states : BEHAVIOR POLICY It is our goal to provide a safe and nurturing environment at GCP. We work together with parents to help children develop inner controls to develop appropriate social behavior. Teachers use positive reinforcement, and redirection, along with instruction in classroom rules and the modeling of appropriate behavior and manners. Children are reminded of the school rules and encouraged to think of appropriate ways to express themselves. In order to keep children safe, GCP cannot allow hitting, pushing, shoving, biting, spitting, kicking or other aggressive behaviors that are harmful to a child themselves or to others. Multiple infractions can result in intervention by the Director and/or parents. If aggressive behavior continues, the preschool will request one or more of the following: 1. A parent may be called to pick up their child from preschool 2. A parent may be requested to accompany the child to school and remain in the classroom to prevent the aggressive behavior 3. Parent(s) may be asked to keep the child home until the behavior stops I can tell you from first hand experience that they do not follow their behaviour policy. My daughter had another child's hands around her neck, hair pulled, and snacks stolen by the same kid and to not deal with continuous weekly issues I had to move my daughter from that class to ensure it didn't continue. The director then told another parent, that the reason I had her moved was because I have "anxiety". She does not know how to talk with people and basically accused my daughter of saying one thing at home and another at school. This was an ongoing issues with other children in the class ... so we must all be lying? Due to all the issues we had we decided to pull her out for the 24-25 school year. They have a no refund policy for the deposit of $1000.00. We understood that there is a no refund policy however considering how they handled the situation, we asked to meet us half way. The response: "We do have a no refund policy unless it is an emergency ( death in the family, someone loses their job, a family moves away etc)." We asked to speak with board, a meeting was set up with the director and 2 individuals that were not members of the board. She must not understand that it is public record and I was able to find out who the president was and sent a certified letter to his home. All they provided was a "We would like to offer you our summer camp program free of charge." Well its not free of charge cause I gave you $1000.00 deposit. Beware of this preschool, many families have left and I'm sure all for good reason . They certainly do not follow their Christian values that they preach constantly.
