I had a loss in the family and lost my job, so i took her out for a few months, but kept in touch with the owner because i had all intentions of bringing her back. When the job i was drug a month to get, failed, i tried to get my daughters belongings back, and was basically told "oh well" . So, lets just say ive told all my friends to not give her anything that you ever want back. Shes reasonably priced and safe, but was not conciderate to my situation.

My daughter went to this daycare. She was always sick. She was so sick she started having seizures…read more It's no wonder she was always sick because when we would pick her up, her teacher would be sitting on the floor with all of the children climbing on top of her. My child was 1 year old and when we would pick her up and she would be outside she would be on the complete other side of the playground from the teachers by herself on the big kids playground equipment. Every single time I picked her up her diaper was wet or filled with poop and when she got home she was ravenously hungry. They sent her home in other children's clothes. Sent her home with other children's pacifiers. Sent her home with their pacifiers even though I weaned her off of them they couldn't handle her teething. Wouldn't use the diaper rash cream I supplied then sent DCF to my home because of diaper rashes. She was only there a few months but the whole time was miserable. Never again.

My 3-year-old daughter speaks only Spanish and had never been cared for by anyone outside of our…read morefamily. I first enrolled her at Coastal Hope Academy (formerly Kids City USA), and after three weeks of trying, there was little to no improvement. She cried throughout the day, and I was repeatedly told that this was normal behavior. After the owner suggested that we stop speaking Spanish at home, I decided it was time to find a different environment for her. We transferred her to Ellison Acres Preschool, and what a difference it has made. From the very first day, my daughter was a completely different child. She would come home excitedly comparing the two schools, telling me how this one has so many toys, colorful chairs, a more comfortable place to nap, and how much fun she was having. What stands out the most is how the teachers make every effort to communicate with her and include her in activities, despite the language barrier. At her previous school, she often seemed isolated and as though she did not belong. Here, she feels welcomed, supported, and happy. The tuition is also more affordable, saving us about $60 per week. Another thing I truly appreciate is receiving a summary of her day, which allows me to know what she has been learning and doing. As a parent, that means so much. I am incredibly grateful for the teachers and staff at Ellison Acres Preschool. Seeing my daughter excited to go to school each morning has been such a relief, and I wanted to share our positive experience with other families who may be searching for the right place for their child. Thank you for the great care of my most value possession. Xio.
