My issue was in the transitional area (the area for the too big for infant room and too small for prek)...not super organized...and we always left the place thinking...do they even know where his food is stored? Not a good feeling. They seriously need to update...wood paneling makes it look dark. And cleaning WHILE kids are still there...not healthy. Other than that...I mean...our kid was safe...not super babied...but safe. Every day care has its faults. I will say the pre-k program seemed very impressive. I may put my kid back with them for that.

There are no words to express my gratitude and appreciation for the teachers and staff here but I'm…read morehoping I can share some insight that will help the next parent explore this for their own children! We wanted a space where our child could grow, explore and develop their own sense of curiosity and TMH exceeded all of that. With the evolution of technology assisting in all aspects of our lives now; a learning experience that is grounded on building blocks and a hands on approach was fundamental when we were looking for early education. Not all children learn the same and the teachers do a great job at tailoring their approach to each and focus on their curiosities. Every part of the curriculum is so thoughtful and intentional. Some of the smallest activities are teaching them a skill that eventually becomes something bigger.  It's amazing to witness and the parents get a chance to see this first hand during parent visit days. "I didn't know my child could do that" is a common sentiment I hear amongst the parent group.  Beyond the curriculum - Our child will be completing the kindergarten program after having spent 3 years in the school and she couldn't be more excited. Her early days were supported by the older friends in the class and now she gets a chance to do the same. They are now some of her closest friends and the parents too!  The level of confidence and independence they have developed along the way has been nothing short of amazing. Having witnessed many of the friends in the class grow into their own personalities throughout the years have been fun to see. It's no surprise that families often enroll their siblings to TMH even after the older ones have graduated!

My son would come home with art projects that were very well planned. The level of planning in the art projects is professional quality. These were not "cookie" cutter art projects. Also, Mrs. Cecilia would teach the kids Spanish every morning...and she taught my son how to dance professional salsa for the end of year party!! They also have a high quality science program with lots of materials. It is a structured school that uses some Montessori methods. They have both an indoor and outdoor play area, which helps for those long winter days ..and sprinklers in the summer. Their tuition is very reasonable for such a high quality program. However they gave me the option to pay a little extra for instrument lessons & soccer camp to come to the school. The breakup of class sizes is 4 kids to 1 teacher so all the kids get tons of individual attention. You have the option to buy a healthy lunch. I can't recommend them enough!!! My son is older now and he still talks about what he learned at Rising Stars Academy!

Through their commitment, vision and dedication for the FAA community, our son was able to matriculate into the french educational system with ease. For that ,my husband and I are extremely grateful. I had many fairs. How well our son would do with moving to a new country , entering a new school system without knowing anyone. That tension was put to rest with how well our son has been doing. Our experience at the French American Academy in Englewood with the curriculum , and how the staff foster learning and community togetherness has been truly impactful on our family.

Our family recently went through an unexpected TERMINATION at iPlusOneAcademy with only THREE days'…read morenotice. We are heartbroken and feel deeply sorry for what our child, and the other children who were also impacted, have had to go through. The 2025 school calendar did not include a February winter break. A winter break was newly introduced in 2026, and the winter camp program was added shortly before the break, during a week that was originally scheduled to be closed according to the academy's school year calendar. More than ten parents collectively raised concerns and requested clarification from the academy regarding the basis for this decision. Subsequent to the meeting between the parents and the director, the academy implemented a new policy addendum mandating parental signatures as a prerequisite for continued enrollment. The original agreement signed in the beginning of the school year did not include any terms addressing the academy's right to amend or modify its policies. The new policy addendum imposed limitations on parents' ability to collectively voice concerns about school policies and restricted their freedom to share honest reviews online. We did not consent to the policy and did not provide our signatures. The academy issued a termination notice merely 10 days after introducing the new policy. Following receipt of the termination notice, we formally requested an in-person meeting with the director to seek clarification regarding the circumstances and explore the possibility of resolving the matter. However, all of our efforts were declined, and we were notified in writing that communication would be restricted solely to email. The academy provided us with only a 3-day notice of termination, despite its own policy requiring a 30-day notice should a family choose to withdraw voluntarily. Arranging a new childcare on such a short notice caused a significant strain for our family emotionally and physically. Our child did not have any behavioral issues at school, and no payment issues. We strongly believe that when misunderstandings or disagreements arise between parents and a school, open communication and mutual understanding should be prioritized. However, in our experience, was more of a unilateral decision by the academy. Based on our two years of experience at this academy, we believe that the focus was placed primarily on tuition and fees rather than fostering a child-centered environment. We recommend that any family considering enrollment seek feedbacks from current and former families before making a decision. I would like to note that most of the reviews posted here were written as part of a raffle prize participation conducted by iPlusOne Academy.

First and foremost, if you are considering this school for your child, I couldn't recommend this…read moreacademy more. I've even recommended it to my non-Korean friends. Both of my children attend--my eldest has been enrolled since she was one and will be graduating this year, and my younger child has been enjoying the mommy-and-me classes before transitioning to full-time. What we love most is simple but meaningful: our child comes home happy and wants to go to school. That alone speaks volumes. Before enrolling here, we tried a daycare and quickly realized it wasn't the right fit. For that reason, I don't consider iPlus a daycare--it truly goes beyond what other local daycares offer. * Structure & Organization: From the very beginning, there was clear structure. Even before registering, we were given a well-organized, color-coordinated handbook. It may sound small, but as both a parent and a customer, I appreciated it. The program is thoughtful and organized, and it shows daily. * Curriculum & Activities: I'm consistently amazed by how much my children learn--even after just one class for my younger child. The school offers gym time, a safe outdoor playground, sensory activities, and diverse after-school enrichment programs. * Bilingual Environment: The staff speak both English and Korean fluently, which has been incredibly valuable for our family. As a mixed household that doesn't strictly enforce Korean at home, this has helped my child develop strong comprehension. While she may not always speak it confidently, understanding her relatives is incredibly meaningful to us. * Care & Communication: The level of care is exceptional. It's clear the teachers and staff are carefully selected. My children adore their teachers and often talk about them at home. The school is also very communicative--whether it's a minor bump or a health concern, we're always informed promptly. * Cleanliness: This deserves emphasis--the facility is extremely clean. After touring many schools, this stood out immediately, and they continue to maintain that standard. I don't typically leave long reviews, but I do feel compelled to address some of the recent negative feedback I've seen. It's disheartening as both a parent and community member. At the end of the day, this is a business--and there's nothing wrong with that. A school can be both well-run financially and provide excellent care. In my experience, the tuition is very comparable to other schools in the area, and I feel the value matches what we receive. Regarding the recent addendum that was circulated: I understand why it was introduced. I personally experienced situations where group discussions among parents became uncomfortable and, at times, pressured. For instance, in a group setting, announcing "I hope we get kicked out, so I can.." explains the exact virtue this ordeal stands on. While everyone is entitled to their opinions, I believe concerns are best addressed directly and constructively with the school, rather than in a way that creates tension or public backlash. If you're exploring options for your child, I encourage you to look beyond the noise and choose what feels right for your family--whether that's iPlus or elsewhere. Every family has different needs, and that's okay. For us, this school has been a positive, nurturing, and reliable environment for our children. I'm grateful for the experience we've had. I have no affiliation with the school beyond being a parent of attending children, and this review was written voluntarily.
