Beautiful outdoor play area, well structured indoor play area with adorable toys, organized, simply a kids playground dream world. When my kids started neither knew their letters or numbers. Now they can both spell their name, can count beyond what I expected for their age, and are singing songs throughout the day. Miss Lisa and Miss Danielle's education program has truely enriched their lives. The school offers holiday recitals where they show off what they've learned that term. They also teach dancing and gymnastics. They also help potty train. Daily reports at the end of each day helped me feel like I truely knew what was happening and what they were learning each day. We would recommend this daycare to anyone coming through. It's a great environment. My family benefited from the time we had at La Petite Playschool. If you're wanting a family environment that's also academic and play friendly, La Petite is the place to go.

My son still loves her and talks about her. The price was more than reasonable, and the vacations were workable. I especially appreciated the independent skills and support she and her team offered my kid - she helped him learn to walk, potty train, go to the bathroom by himself, and really critically, learn to be kind and caring to other kids. We will forever be grateful to her for her wonderful support in raising our sweet boy.

It's okay. Curriculum is good, but not all teachers are very nice. Most teachers are great! But the…read morerules are not enforced equally throughout the students. Males are usually treated with more lax standards along with shorter, less developed girls. Some people are very quick to make assumptions about students based on overall airs. I was on financial support, but tuition is pretty expensive. Not many students. Some of the students that grew up in a wealthy loving family can be very inconsiderate with words. Dress code is strict. Dress code enforcer has tried to tell me where MY mid thigh was. Also the dress code does not provide much room for religious wear. Hijabs and headwear are allowed, but certain holidays might include certain attire. It can be a challenging place for students with Social Anxiety on multiple different fronts. There is no special needs program to my knowledge. I personally think that this school is a bit too sensitive, but that comes from a middle class public school person until I got here recently. The school is pretty academically supportive to those who don't require help, but it skips a year of material. I was scared to say this till now but it was also pretty terrifying the whole time. And exhausting. Mental health is taken care of by most of the teachers that are trying to get their own job done. Kids have said slurs, done VERY inappropriate things and made noises to others, and it's never taken care of. It always kept happening. Bullying was not addressed. Most people are obsessed with putting labels on you. And people wouldn't listen to me. It was actually pretty deteriorating. And I had already went into this school with crippling depression. My only friends at the school were much more support than the mental health support system or whatever thing they had set up at the time. And nobody knows boundaries. I'm sorry. I hope its changed now.

They have good foundational philosophy about how our children can be raised to have good character and be good citizens. They allow students who want to excel to do so, while if there is any hiccup, teachers work with staff and parents to find a good solution to get the student to back up to par. We find Ashbrook to be the best option in the area.

I am highly satisfied with the experience my family has had with old mill. Our son is in the…read morepreschool program and has developed so much in the short year that he has attended. The teachers and volunteers put a lot of effort and care into developing a program that meets the developmental needs of children at this age. There are always new activities set up in the morning, our son tells us about the different stations, they have different themes, he sings songs that he learns at home to us, and loves playing on the playground before eating lunch around peers his own age. Not to mention regular field trips and seasonally themed activities according to holiday/celebration. They are very hands on, open, and welcoming. We have especially enjoyed the amount of effort and willingness that the staff makes, they definitely go out of their way to work with and accommodate everyone. Our son definitely enjoys going to school and playing with his friends here, it has helped him immensely in all areas of social development and the resources are fantastic and aimed to help children in the specific areas where help is needed while helping to nurture their development and hit milestones. There is also a summer program, which our son attended last year and will attend this year before his final year at old mill prior to transitioning into kindergarten. I would highly recommend considering old mill to meet your preschoolers educational and developmental needs.

I am going to quote something you will find on the CCCC website when seeking further information…read more "CCCC provides a safe, nurturing environment where children are encouraged to be independent and to learn their full capabilities. Because of our low staff turnover and appropriate child/teacher ratios, we are able to pay attention to the individual needs and development of each child." This is not true, the center told me that they do not have low child/teacher ratios, therefore are unable to give attention to my child's individual needs. They also agreed to work with my husband and I with our child's needs only to less than 24 hours later turn around and kick him out of the center. So there is a lot of deceit involved. However being asked to leave because the staff, which "are not properly trained to give attention to my child's needs" as I was told, was not the issue here, the issue was the lying involved. After being more than willing to work with the center and change my child's schedule at home to cater to the center's needs, and comfort, as well as asking how I could help at the center (to which I received a response of "I do not know") I, in a very upfront manner asked, so you would like my child to stop coming here to your center? I was told no that was not it, that we could move him down to less days, that they would have someone come in and help my child, that they wanted to work with us, that they wanted what was best for my child. This however was also untrue, as I was asked to stop bringing my child to the center. I do not consider this professionalism at all, there was opportunity to be honest, instead of handling this situation in this, unprofessional manner. It is ironic because the week my child was kicked out I had asked (monday and tuesday) how he was doing and if his behavior was an issue or if he had been doing anything that he had gotten into trouble for. His teacher told me No, that he had a good day, BOTH of those days, then in a matter of three days I was told the complete opposite, called in thrusday to have a meeting, lied to; then asked to come and get him friday, when he was kicked out, due to his needs, with the excuse that he was being too demanding for the CCCC (lancaster) staff; in addition to honesty not being a priority in the centers staff - parent relationship. This really is unfortunate, I would NOT recommend bringing your child here at all, I would recommend looking elsewhere to fulfill your child's (care) needs.

At least 80% of the children in the Pre-K room were ill. There is also an Ant infestation near the cubby area, which employees knowingly place the children's clothing and personal items in.

The center is also known to overcharge as well.
