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!!

This is a great school. DO NOT LISTEN TO THESE AWFUL FAKE REVIEWS…read more The "shock treatment" that all of these imbeciles are referring to is a type of small device gets attached to the arm/leg and send a VERY tiny shock into the adults that attend the school whom require it. It does not hurt the adults, it is a tiny pinch and it is ONLY used on adults whom are severe dangers to themselves and it IS NOT used excessively, barely once a week for the adults whom actually need it when they are becoming a SEVERE danger to themselves. To also note, a judges court order is REQUIRED before this kind of thing is even spoken about, numerous parents whose kids whom are adults needed it, try it to get their consent and then they attempt to get a judges court order. This cannot be stressed ENOUGH, it is not used to abuse the adults whom need it in any way, shape, or form, it is simply a small pinch to get their attention. This is ONLY used on adultswhom are an immediate danger to themselves and can severely harm themselves. Do not listen to these reviews by these narcissistic idiots, they most likely have never even seen the school and go by whatever propaganda they see and then just start writing these awful, nasty, untrue reviews. The people whom want this place closed down would absolutely destroy these children especially those whom have attend the school for a number of years, the people whom are writing these fake reviews and are protesting along with the 'hippie' advocacy groups that claim they want to "help children with autism" don't know absolutely anything. My brother attends this school and it's been amazing, I have seen this school first hand numerous times and have been in absolute shock of how well things are done and how the kids are cared for. Bottom line is, don't listen to these gullible, brainwashed, delusional, ignorant, cruel people. They have no idea what they're talking about and will believe anything that they're told even if it's the most untrue and ridiculous thing. If anything they would be the ones 'abusing' the children with autism whom attended the school, without this school it would completely destroy the kids and adult whom attend, it could even ruin their lives if they aren't able to be in this school. This is a great school don't listen to these brainwashed people.

Do not take a class with Lorrie. I have never walked out of a yoga class until today. New to the…read moreclub and the class, she did not ask me my name or if I had even taken yoga. She just barked that I couldn't sit there and then moved me again when I did. A completely unwelcome experience. A completely opposite expectation for yoga. I am a 100% disabled veteran. I changed gyms specifically bc of expanded handicap parking and the yoga room. She then berated me that this was a stretch class and I should know this or that....during the class. So I actually packed up my yoga gear and left. This was my first day using the gym as a member. The excuse I got was "Well, she's kind of like that". I'm glad my wife didn't come with me or I would have been even more embarrassed than just a room full of strangers. On the fence of canceling on day one. Not a good start.
