The whole place is out of order and sketchy, director constantly hiring, you have current employees…read moretraining teachers and then telling all the drama to new people, current employees if it's such a bad place then why continue work there? And say horrible things about director(boss) 1 teacher tells everything , there's actually 3 of them ..about the whole place and how it's ran how new people don't last and this is how the boss is and if she continues to treat people like that she's going to continue losing people. New people don't last hours are not guaranteed it's only closers. Every young woman of all the teachers has complained to new teachers about hours and how they do what they want. They clean the tables with white thin cloths and rinse them out turn around wipe every nose and hand of every child and reuse on table. Witness a teacher telling multiple kids do u want a spanking? For misbehavior, they all walk around with attitudes no communication act like they don't want to train. Had a teacher also say cameras are in place just for the look cameras don't work they don't want other parents watching other children also it's also bad because there's no way to prove that's all the teachers are on there cellphones keep them in there hand all day and in pocket hide them under the child's sleeping mat as soon as the assistant or health and specialist walks in. They know that employees are on there phone won't do anything about it. They also get the parents numbers as communication to text thru out the day and say that's the reason why they need there phone. They like blaming teachers for diapers and putting blame on not having enough diapers or putting wrong diaper on a child. There's no way to prove all the teachers are on there cellphone but make employees sign a phone contact but there on there phone 24/7. Teachers call out alot and complain why are other teachers going home early.theres is a lead teacher there's that always has panic attacks n saying omg to the kids u guys are bad she calls off everyday never there then says u dont get hours. They bounce teachers around never in a consistent room there was suppose to have a new room open and never opened for kids to be in and start new teachers in. Witness a teacher popping a child on the hand, never got direct deposit information up until the last point. The teachers currently here talk about the director and said very bad things but continue to work there not sure if she knows it but they have workers there telling any and all new oncoming people stuff and then say that's why they don't last they really tell everything that's going on there but continue to stay there. There is also a couple that works there have the same skedule and constantly in one another's room sneaking and hiding when there not suppose to be out the room witness a teacher giving something to another while the director was across the way and she got scared and said I think the director saw me so the other one told her to go around the other way so she wouldn't see her. Teachers try to find out personal information ask a bunch of questions then gossip everything is gossip. They talk to u like ur stupid like as if u don't know what's going on. Send people home early if they get mad at you as well there is favtsm there. Quite a bite race going on there too if there not able to communicate. One teacher talks so badly about the owner but reports everything back to her on cellphone. Text her .. Teachers complain about having another class in there class and why can't they go to there own and be with there teacher. Everything was late in paper work I had to keep asking for my ADP login and direct deposit when other teachers got there. They say 1 thing but body actions doing another they make it seem all nice n good and it's not do not take your kids here at all ! They need to get rid of some of the workers currently there is why there messing everything up for incoming people telling stuff and discouraging new workers everything is negative out there mouth towards about the boss and towards her I though it was so messed up.

This place is very image based and has a very high teacher turnover rate, and based on what I…read morewitnessed, it's probably due to lack of admin support and unprofessionalism. The kids (especially the school age kids) are completely out of control and under paid and under trained teachers have no support when dealing with challenging behaviors. They have no problems barking orders at staff, leaving them feeling devalued and under appreciated. They seemed to care more about a floor being swept than the safety of the children. At least the teacher I met seemed pretty nice.

They made the whole transition feel easy and reassuring. Even though the center is newly opened, the team already feels experienced, confident, and genuinely caring. The facility itself is modern, clean, and full of thoughtful touches that make it feel welcoming. And the playground? It absolutely has my heart, bright, fun, and a space where kids can really be kids. The curriculum is well-balanced between learning and play, and we've already seen our child grow emotionally, socially, and intellectually. It's clear they're not just being cared for, they're being nurtured. We're so glad to have a high-quality, academic-based daycare like this in our area. It's a great feeling to know your child is in such good hands.

When snowbirds are here you can't really get into classes ( most are great) unless you set alarms for yourself and sign up a couple of days ahead. The place skews older and I although there are high school kids there in the afternoons it's not age diverse. Plus side is it's very forgiving and a great place to start weight lifting and more. There are paid programs for that and I think that would be worth it. I belong to a few other places so it's not a problem. I really like yin yoga there and trx . If this is going to be your main place you will be frustrated.

Okay... how did I NOT know this place existed?! That's…read moreexactly what I was thinking the first time I stepped foot onto the JCC. I discovered the Tucson Jewish Community Center after they hosted the Hot Cocoa Run 5K (hands down one of the funnest, most vendor-packed races I've ever done ), and let me tell you--walking into the JCC feels like stepping into a whole other world. This place is HUGE and has everything.They gifted a week pass in our swag bags from 5k and I fully leaned in--and I'm so glad I did. First off, the community + programming here is next level. I got to participate in pottery and ceramics classes (SO fun and surprisingly legit), and I love that they partner with local creatives and groups. It gives the whole place a collab, community-driven feel that I'm always looking for. On the fitness side--they're not playing around. I took multiple classes, and their cycle class (aka performance ride ) was actually really solid. Great energy, great programming. I also hit a strength-based class that delivered, and the gym floor itself is super clean, spacious, and not overcrowded (major win). The crowd is also refreshingly diverse in age, which I loved--it truly feels inclusive. And can we talk about the Cafe at the J... because YES. Tons of vegan options , actually flavorful, and super affordable. Not your typical "gym cafe" situation at all. Beyond that, this place is basically a mini campus--tennis, pools, art spaces, events, rentals, and even traditional Jewish baked goods (fresh bread, hello ). They also host a TON of events--like so many it's hard to keep up--so definitely check their calendar because there's always something happening. Overall, I'd absolutely go back. Whether you're going for fitness, arts, community events, or just to explore something new in Tucson--this place is a whole experience.

Leman Academy Central only gets 1 star because I can't give less. If I was rating on academics only…read moreI would have given 5 stars; however, this particular campus has a severe bullying issue that they DO NOT handle. The bully is allowed to continue without consequences and the victims are left to feel unsafe and some students have been removed by parents because of it. The school policies state that bullying is not tollerated; however, Central refuses to take corrective action and protects those doing the bullying over the victims. This leaves me to think that the bullies are related to some staff OR the campus just simply doesn't care. The victim is left feeling unsafe in an environment that should be and it leaves the bully not having any consequences to learn that this violent behavior is dangerous. The stance Central is taking is only serving the purpose of grooming future violence we see all to many times on the news. If you want your child to attend Leman Academy of Excellence choose another campus but stay far away from Central for your child's sake.

This is the most peaceful, beautiful preschool I have ever seen. Ever. Walking in the front gate…read moreyou see the beautiful mountains in the background and happy children giggling and working together in the foreground. Normally with this many children in one area there is usually bound to be someone screaming, someone crying, and general chaos. That is the furthest thing from the serene scenes playing out here day after day. When my son first started Mis Manos he had difficulty with the transition and would cry quite a bit when I dropped him off and later in the day when other mommies and daddies came and he was still at school. During those first few weeks what impressed me the most was the fact that even if he was crying (and it was very little) he was always being held or comforted by a teacher. He was never left in a corner anywhere during his difficult transition. As a first time mom this was incredibly reassuring. Now my son has been attending this school for nearly four months he loves it there. In fact we bumped his schedule up to 5 days a week because he would ask to see his teachers and his friends. He has improved in his listening and communicating so much and is always happy and tired when he comes home. I always ask him how his day was, and he beams and says "Good!" usually followed by some babbling about what he did (2 year olds aren't always the easiest to understand) and a very exuberant "Alba!" (his teacher). We pack his lunch and water bottle each day and he brings them right into his classroom. He's also learned that whenever he goes outside he should ask for his hat and sunscreen which is an added bonus! I do also want to point out that their toddler class, which my son is in, does not require them to be potty trained and begins at 18months. There is a waiting list and for good reason, this is an amazing school! I also hear they are cloth-diaper friendly, we asked but haven't gotten our stuff together to bring to them so we've been using disposables. I recommend this school to anyone and everyone I meet!
