    We can never express enough how fortunate we are to have Children Central as our daughter's first…read moreschool - Every member there, from the warm ladies greeting everyone in the morning to the classroom teachers, to the owners who treat this place as their own baby showed the highest level of caring and integrity. Special thanks to Miss Quaneace and the very involving and responsive owners Kevin and Sharon Port! We were concerned our daughter couldn't speak much English when she first joined, but that concern quickly went away as it was almost a magic to not only see her English skills improving noticeably, but more importantly her getting more and more comfortable socially everyday. Three months later, she was almost a fluent bilingual speaker! We know there was no magic, it was Miss Q and other teachers' individualized attention and help that took a long way in our daughter's development. If you only expect Chidlren Central to be a place to drop off your kids, you will be quickly (and positively) surprised you are wrong. There are so many well thought-out curriculums, socialization, creative movements and learning opportunities that go well beyond just a child care facility. From music, art, physical development to a third language (for us:)), these well structured opportunities really stimulated our daughter's early interests in different areas - now she sings songs to us and plays drum set everyday and enjoys drawing, dancing and all kinds of sports. We had to move to another state due to job changes. Our daughter stayed until the very last day we lived in the area and she missed her teachers and friends so much there. We strongly recommend Children Central to other parents who are looking for a school that's their kid's extended family!

    I want to warn parents to stay away from Children Central: it is a business, not a safe and caring…read moreplace where you can leave your child with trust. I have a 6 months baby, she is always calm, she makes a lot of sounds before she bursts into cries, and she loves to smile. After going to the daycare for just 5 days, she cries so loud whenever she needs attention, she is afraid of people, and she lost her smile. The first two days going to daycare was good, the assistant director and the teachers all said she smiles a lot. Just some drool rashes which I thought maybe okay, I can't expect the teachers to wipe her all the time. However, when I pickup my baby during the third day, I was a bit early and arrived at 4:50pm. I hear a baby crying so loud and so desperately and that sounded like mine! When I get to the infant room, I realized it is my baby crying, left alone in the rocker, and no one was attending to her. Only when the teacher see me, she picked up my baby and handed her to me. Her eyes were all red, and she smelled liked poop (I later checked she did poop and was not changed). I asked how long has she been crying, she said "just a few minutes", like it's not a big deal. I then went to talk to the director, she showed me the camera from 4:30pm. I don't know what time she was put in the rocker, but for the entire 20mins on the video, she is in that rocker with no one attending to her. There camera has no sound and the rocker is not facing the camera, so there is no evidence that she was crying the entire time. This was my first red flag. When I got home I tried to search for the teacher's bio on the daycare's website, because I have not seen her before. That's when I noticed they are not infant classroom teachers. When I first toured the daycare, it was stilled operated by its owner, there were 7 babies and 3 teachers. But the owner later stepped down and hired a director to operate and the facility expanded so fast and by the time I enroll, there are 16 babies in the infant class (I asked the teacher because I see many babies). This is my second red flag. The fourth day she went to daycare, her got home with a cut on her arm. It was almost 2 inch long, and an entire flesh was missing from the cut. It is also very wide and cannot possibly be a scratch from a baby herself. I asked for an accident report but had no response. I called child abuse hotline and had a social worker coming over, that's when the director gave us a report saying the teachers don't know. This time the director refused to show anyone the camera, so I still don't know what happened. This is the largest red flag and I withdrew her from the facility. I lost my first month tuition, the deposit, and the daycare did not return my baby's supplies. And it has been 10 days since the cut, she still has a scar on the arm and when I touch it, I can still feel the dent (so you can tell how deep it was). Parents, stay away from this place for your child's sake.

    I honestly cannot believe what our experience has been like with Newtown Friends School. It was…read morerecommended to us by an acquaintance whose children attend there and love it. Small classes, progressive values such as inclusivity and diversity, values that so much seemed to reflect our own. It just so happens that our fourth grader was the victim of a crime over the summer before attending this new school. His behavior was affected by this event and, initially, NFS staff, using their language of partnership and collaboration, provided support that had an immediate positive impact. As they expressed a willingness to collaborate with us so did they decide NOT to actually collaborate. The simple recommendation was to keep the support in place and unchanged for a number of months. For whatever their reason, they chose not to do so. This immediately set our child up for failure as they made changes to the support that was working perfectly. Despite our efforts to collaborate, they simply changed it with no regard to what would work for our son. As a result, he was basically set up for failure. Our bright and motivated 9-year-old boy was never in so much trouble as he was at NFS. He was clearly under their critical microscope and their lack of understanding, empathy and unwillingness to work with him was both shocking and obvious. We decided that this school was definitely not a match for him or for our family. The values that they tout are good on paper but our experience is that none of them were genuine and there was no caring about our child, family or experience. "Teaching the whole child", and all of their "partnership", was chewed up and spit out along with us. But they made a point of keeping our.overpayment. Please know that NFS collects tuition fully in advance of the school year being complete. So if you invest in this place for your child's education and well-being, be prepared to lose your money if your child is deemed not good enough by those on high in administration. A sad reflection of Quaker values equating to a complete and total lack of empathy, enormous hypocrisy and obvious greed.
