But after visiting St. Philip's Preschool, we really were impressed with the balance between joy and professionalism. You'd be surprised how many schools are on one extreme or the other. St. Philip's is a little on the small side, so kids get a lot of one-on-one attention, and most importantly, kids get to socialize and have fun. Communication from the staff at St. Philip's Preschool was efficient and helpful, the actual messages focused on the well-being, health, and safety of the children. The staff are open to questions and conversation, and most of all, they really seem to care about the kids. We especially love the emphasis on free-form play and art, as well as the use of alphabet lessons you might see in most Raleigh kindergartens. I would recommend St. Philip's highly to anyone with a young child.

It felt like I wan in trouble or in the "office" in school it was weird. They said here is a list of everything that is wrong with it. I told them I was gonna use it to go across the country bc I am homeless going through a divorce. I did not go on my gut bc they were so professional, they could have wrote that bus off on their taxes, but instead they stole my whole savings, every dime. The guy that sold it to me had gold rings looking like a 100 dollar pimp. The money was for those young girls I was talking about at the beginning. The dash had been replaced with a newer one, but I got the computer to show me the real odometer reading, it was over 300, 000 miles, but the dash was showing 111,000 miles. They knew I would not make it back to WV from NC, and the lemon laws in NC are only for new cars. 6814725579 for more info. I donated the bus to a girl in Virginia working at an EXXON, lol. told her to scrap it. I did not even get home to work on it. UwU

I wish I had known of the better schools and treatment facilities in North Carolina before sending…read moremy son here. To be frank, the place is a mess. I knew more about the TEACHH method, Pivotal Response Training, and basic Applied Behavioral Analysis than the staff. How "a school for children with autism" can run without a qualified director/leader is beyond me. I understand they do have a Board Certified Behavioral Analyst but this begs the question: why isn't the facility in better shape? I have heard he/she is a bully and brings their problems to work with them. What a shame for parents trying to seek help for their children.

I wanted to like this school, but the two months I spent trying to enroll my daughters was a…read morenightmare. My husband and I took a tour of the school and it seemed like there were a lot of activities and resources for the kids despite the building having an industrial feel and looking a bit run down. We decided to apply despite the hundreds of dollars in application fees just to review our paperwork. At the time, we did not realize most ABA places do not do that. They said the typical time from application to start date was usually a few weeks, but ours took 2 months because they had trouble certifying one of their providers with my insurance company. That was understandable, but it's what happened in the meantime that made me rethink the school. It was difficult to get anyone to answer the phone, and most of my messages were never returned. Messages I left with various people were never passed on to the right ones. Nobody knew what was going on and in some cases they didn't even know who to ask. All the while, my insurance company insisted the problem was on the school's end and that they were having consistent trouble getting in touch with them and that the school filed paperwork wrong three times. It gave me the impression of a school whose management is in chaos and disarray. Finally, after all that was sorted out and just days before my daughters were supposed to start, they suddenly sprung us with $5,000 in further application fees and said they required a 1-year contract. None of this had ever been mentioned in person, on the phone, or in the paperwork we signed at any point in the preceding two months. It raised a lot of red flags to be asked to spend a small fortune in unexpected hidden fees and be required to commit to a long-term contract before my girls had even started. Maybe the school is struggling financially and is desperate to extract as much money in fees as possible? I have no idea. I just know no other ABA place has such insanely high hidden fees. Because my kids never had a chance to get therapy here, I really can't speak to the quality of care. All I know is that getting quality care is much more difficult when management is very disorganized.

I live way too far to attend this church, but I have some close friends who do and took us to visit while we were in town, WOW, let me tell you, this is an amazing campus! Small church feeling, but so much space to hold all their activities, including a cafe!!!! They have a large and a small chapel, think weddings or other events. Oh, and this church is worth looking at the architectural details, GORGEOUS build!! If you are close enough to drive here, try a Bible study (I heard their great), or come on s Sunday morning. If you're shy, sneak in the back (which is the front of the chapel), bring the kids, because they have activity boxes (until your kids are comfortable enough to join Sunday school & other fun activities). You cannot go wrong, unless you're Jewish or catholic (this is a joke, meaning if you're not Protestant, you might want to attend mass or temple:). Don't worry, my Mom doesn't think I'm very funny either, but it's ok, I crack myself up;) Seriously though, I found this church to be open and loving!!! Very friendly!!
