Hi my name is Julie and I would not in any circumstance bring your children to this location. My…read moreexperience with LPA was so bad that no one should be treated how they treated my daughter. I am so glad they have live stream cameras in the classrooms; my child was being repeatedly hit by her peers, and the substitute teacher told me that there was nothing she could do about that. This same substitute would yank my daughter by one arm and exclude her from any activates. I was also told by the director louise to stop calling and checking on my child. The substitute teacher is very incompetent and has no knowledge on how to care for children. The substitute also wanted to fight me with my daughter in my arms and the director saw this and nothing was done. LPA is understaffed and has unqualified people there, the fact that teachers are wanting to fight parents and that is who they are having watch our children is ridiculous.

So yes, we would recommend KinderCare to anyone!

We knew as soon as we walked in that KinderCare would be the place for our family. Since then we've adopted our son and have another child in care with us now. The staff at KinderCare, particularly the Director, are extremely protective of our children and care about them dearly. We love everyone there. Our son looks forwards to summers where he can spend the days with his friends and going on fun field trips and adventures. Our toddler is thriving and squeals with delight whenever her friends and teachers come into view. In short, KinderCare is a terrific day care. Though I'm sure other day cares in town are fine, we would not choose to go anywhere other than KinderCare.

Cadence Academy staff and teachers were incredibly responsive, fun, caring and helpful from day one. My daughter is now 4-years old and continues to thrive at Cadence! The classrooms are welcoming, full of engaging and educational activities, and friends who my daughter talks about every night (teachers and kids). As a full-time working mom, I never worry about my daughter during the workday- I know she is in good hands. When I arrive to pick her up I am greeted by the staff, get a quick verbal daily report from a lead teacher, get a detailed report sent via email and mobile device, and have the joy of hearing an excited 4-year-old version of "what I did today" on our car ride home. I would choose Cadence Academy Main Street over and over again!

If not for the school's inaction on a serious ethical issue, I would give WBB a 5-star review. My…read moreson attended the 2's program with Miss Megha, Miss Ashley and Miss Faria and the Multi-age class with Miss Stephaney and Miss Amy this year. All of these teachers and Miss Colleen are phenomenal people that we loved. We also had great experience with all the other teachers in passing. We were saddened to have to make the decision to leave due to the 4s program, specifically one incident/teacher. What happened may not impact you personally and you may not even care, however, as the daughter of an immigrant (Indian-American) and a minority and because there are so many immigrant families that attend this preschool, I feel that I must inform families that are considering WBB as a preschool program.   Last summer, I came across concerning public social media posts on a WGLT immigration article made by the 4s assistant. I felt they were hateful, intolerant of others and lacked compassion and empathy for children and their families. I contacted the WBB administration with screenshots of the comments. The Board President called me and in her own words she found these posts "disturbing". A total of three parents that I am aware of contacted the school regarding this specific incident.  She let me know that she spoke to the teacher and the teacher didn't really see the correlation between her comments and how that transfers to the students she interacts with. This response to her actions was troubling to me because even though it may not be spoken in front of children, these beliefs almost certainly influence behavior. The lack of judgement she showed by posting such comments on a public forum made me feel that she felt confident and strongly about her opinions. Therefore,I felt uncomfortable leaving my son in her care and concerned he could be treated differently in the 4s classroom. I did not immediately remove my son because we had such a good experience in the 2s program and he would not have direct contact with the teacher that made these remarks. After my conversation with the Board President she stated that she would follow up with me after they observed the teacher and would make a determination on how to proceed. She did not follow up with me. I contacted her once I needed to make a final decision on my son's Pre-K program. She stated that they observed this teacher and decided not to make any changes to the current situation and that my family was probably better off choosing a different preschool which we ultimately did. Yes, she suggested that we leave. We felt very unwelcome at WBB by the Board President response in bringing up this legitimate concern. I understand it is completely the school's decision to stand by their employee, however I believe before you pick this program you should know who your child is being influenced by especially when they make their views so public. When someone shows you who they are, believe them. Had she not posted these comments I would never know she felt this way and my son would have obviously finished preschool at WBB but I can't unsee it or ignore it. This experience showed us what the administration values are and they are not in line with we want for our children.

Cornerstone is a damn fine school with great people. Not really any better middle or highschool in the area. And having kids go there for 14 years isn't bizarre given that they offer pre-k and daycare.

The one small building, its obscure location, and lack of public knowledge lead me to believe that these children are in danger. I have seen the Scientology documentary and fear for the safety of my peers. Quotes such as "my children have been here for 14 years" prove that children are being trapped and forced into this cult. I know many members of the surrounding neighborhoods and they state that they have "never seen any of the children outside." The one encounter I did have with the students, they were seen wearing shirts that say "Cream City" on them, showing their disconnect with modern society and pop culture. If the elders of this cult knew what this meant, it is going against all Christian beliefs. Overall, #FreeTheKids #CreamCity #CCA
