We fell in love with Lollipop the moment we arrived to there bright sunny and welcoming classrooms…read more The teachers at this wonderful place have become such a fixture in our lives. This was the first place I left my children with someone other then family and the teachers made me feel so confident and calm, they took care of me and much as my child. They are so experienced and can handle anything that arises. You can truly feel safe and comfortable when your children are there that they are cared for and attended too, not just a number. The teachers are approachable, and have wonderful insight on your child, often noticing problems, trends or illness. Communication with parents is ongoing and they quickly become an extension of your own family. I really enjoyed that at pickup, the teachers gave a summary of the day so that you could prompt your child when talking at home about their day at school. Also, at pickup, the teachers are excellent at making sure each child is released one by one to their parent or caregiver. They do not hesitate to check the license of someone that is unfamiliar to them at pickup. Safety is a primary concern at Lollipop tree and I appreciate that! Most importantly, my children loved it at Lollipop Tree. They were so excited and engaged! There is structure and fun in their days there and my children thrived. Their holiday and spring shows are masterfully organized and fun! We also had a wonderful experience with there summer week long camps! Just terrific! You could not ask for a more kind, devoted or loving staff. This is nursery school like you remember it! I am so sad to have my second child graduate this spring, we will always cherish our time at Lollipop Tree. It was a perfect fit for our family!

My son was teased so badly by a TEACHER, that he got sick to his stomach to go to school.read more

You could not ask for a better pre-k & k experience for your child…read more I live 20 minutes away and drove all 3 of my children for 3 years each to attend Step Ahead. All 3 of my children had different learning styles and needs. 1 needed to be challenged: She raised the bar with cultural subjects -- Teaching about other countries, animals (turtles live in the classroom), time, history, music, movement, science, art, play and performances. My middle child needed more practical life skills (how to tie his shoes and put on his coat, prepare snacks and drinks, go to the bathroom without help, and clean up after himself) and Sensory/Self & Body Awareness - Linda saw a need here that year and brought in someone to teach the students (and teachers) Brain Gym (google it). My last was/is my most challenging, as she is extremely anxious/shy and has a non-verbal learning disability and auditory processing disorder. The 3rd year she was there, she received almost exclusive 1 on 1 teaching with Linda's classroom assistant teacher. All of the teachers are wonderful, they have all worked for Linda for years and therefor they all have great working and personal relationships. Currently my niece and nephew are students as are all of my cousins children and I am slightly jealous to not be a part of the school anymore. I miss Linda, Chris, Fran, Anne and Nancy! Your children will be in excellent hands! ..Important: They also have a summer program for working parents (or non-working parents) and every week in the summer there is a new theme and field trip. Noteworthy: When my oldest son went to 1st grade with another classmate from Step Ahead, the teacher didn't really know what to do with them because they were so far ahead of their peers.

My children are happy and extremely well cared for by all the teachers. The owner and Kindergarten teacher Linda has been an absolute God send to me when it comes to helping me with the education of my two children. She knows the ability and needs of all her students. I choose this school over the public kindergarten because I see how my children have grown to love learning because Step Ahead is so well organized and enjoyable for the kids. My kids don't want to leave at the end of the day and I am always welcome to stay for a few minutes to talk to any of the staff about my children's day. These teachers and after school helpers are caring, bright, creative and the best!! I am a public school teacher of 15 years so I know great leaders and teachers when I see them!!

Everything good we've heard about Milton Academy seems to be true so far in our first year…read more Aside from their academic reputation, it's also apparent that Milton focuses heavily on developing community citizens. They engage students by encouraging volunteer time during school hours, and also parents by allowing them to interact to help students in various ways. The curriculum allows students to take lessons in chess and Chinese even beginning in Kindergarten. There is a curriculum plan for the year even in K -- but they fold teaching into creative ways of learning, and the students seem to love being here. The campus is expansive and impressive, but also inviting and playful. There's always a good positive vibe and energy around campus. I especially like how open and inviting the Head of School and leadership are to questions and feedback. They openly encourage parents to inquire and provide input so they can continue improving.

Since the new management took over, Andrea and Eileen have been incredibly attentive, accommodating, and friendly from day one. Now that my son is 2 years old, he absolutely loves coming here. The staff has always been flexible and supportive, even helping with backup coverage when needed, which has meant so much to our family. I'm especially grateful that my son has Felicia as his teacher--she is truly fantastic. He is clearly loved, well cared for, and always excited to be there. The curriculum and the amount of fun and learning he experiences exceed my expectations.

The Admissions Director runs the school incredibly well and has set the tone for creating a culture of inclusivity, compassion, generosity, and excellence. The bilingual education is outstanding, and our five-year-old has progressed in Spanish due to his wonderful teachers and thoughtful curriculum. The sense of community is amazing, and we've made lasting friendships with other families at the school. SELA offers diverse and engaging extracurricular activities for students, special events, and parent meet-ups.

I was lucky enough to attended Delphi as a child growing up, and last month my toddler started…read morethere! The same things I loved about Delphi long ago are still present and thriving. The teachers are enthusiastic and passionate about learning and make every single day fun. The small class sizes allow for a strong nurturing relationships between staff and students, and my child feels welcomed and loved already. I appreciate that Delphi's reading program teaches students to read at such a young age and provides them with a genuine love for learning. It isn't forced upon them and that was something I loved when I went- I became a strong independent learner which helped me through college and into my career. Many of the staff that worked there when I was young are still present- which means a lot in this day and age. After a few weeks our son already loves his class, his teacher Miss Pam and the fun activities they do daily- art, music, outside time twice a day, painting, reading class, etc

I previously worked at Delphi Academy and I am ashamed to once be a part of this "school". They…read morepride themselves on their amazing teachers, when in actuality majority of them do not know what they are doing because they were never trained. I was given an outdated manual that does not teach children correctly and none of the materials that should go along with curriculum. It would ask me to take out certain math materials for a lesson and when I asked where I could get these materials, my supervisor said "oh we don't have those, just make your own." The admin is a complete mess and does not help teachers. When I started out along with three other first year teachers, multiple teachers who had been there for years say they hate the school and want to leave but cannot find another job. Never mind that the school is rooted in Scientology. The curriculum was written by the same person that created Scientology. When you ask them if they are affiliated with Scientology they will say no. However, in the front lobby of the school they have "The Way to Happiness" books for anyone to take. Books written by L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology. I decided to leave the school when I saw their "reading" program. They do not teach children to read they teach them to memorize. This old practice of memorizing words has been debunked as the correct way to teach reading. Phonics is scientifically proven to be the best way to teach children how to read. They did not teach phonics and when I asked about it they told me they do not teach that because they do not believe in it. By using this strategy of memorization is harms students and creates bad habits that will be hard to break in the future. I had a parent during a conference tell me they want their child to learn phonics and they do not believe this is the right way to learning how to read and I had to lie to them and tell them this was correct because I was being monitored by admin during my conferences. I also had to lie to a parent and tell them their child was doing well when they couldn't write their name. Please I beg you not to put your child in this school. I know the class sizes are very tempting and they will woo you in so many ways, but it's a trap. They will not teach your child. Many of the teachers there are not certified, which even though it is legal, they will not get the instruction they need to be successful. If you don't believe me listen to the podcast "sold a story" about the problem we have.
