Today I picked up my child and was informed he had been kicked in the head by another child on the playground and a few hours later he was BIT on the arm by another child that still wears pull-ups and looked like he should have been in a toddler classroom. if I post every detailed incident that my child has been through I don't think many parents would feel safe bringing their child here. I'm in a very tight situation because my child missed the cutoff to attend kindergarten and now he will have no choice but to continue moving from daycare to daycare until the new year starts for elementary school. It's so sad from a very concerned parent.

This year, I decided to bring my daughter who turned 1 and I'm just at awe on how some of the teachers I've seen all those years ago are still here... now taking care of my second child. It goes to show how much these teachers love their job at Hand in Hand. Even the director of the school is the same. What's surprising is they haven't seen my son for many years and to this day, remembers him. I know my kids are in good hands and I have high confidence with the staff.

We liked the security protocols and the communication to both parents was excellent. My daughter received wonderful care, as an only child, she didn't have many opportunities to socialize and this school made all the difference in the world. Her teachers were always patient with her and encouraging. She made great friends and incredible progress while she was there. The curriculum is solid, and I can say that confidently as a former CCSD teacher. They do fundraisers that give back to the community and other events like trunk or treat, there was no lack of engagement for us parents, always opportunities to get involved. I would choose them again and again.

Our son is 14 and has been struggling with fitting into the box of standard schooling for the last few years and he had started to become down and frustrated with everything. He is an artist and that started reflecting in his drawings as well. After the visit he was still unsure but we knew this was the right school for him. After the first 2 weeks we started noticing changes at home. He became happier and this reflected not only in his demeanor but also in his artwork. When we got his school pictures back HE WAS SMILING!! He hasn't smiled in a school picture for at least 3 years. Watching him become more comfortable with himself and who he is since we started has been an amazing experience. Thank you to all of you that he comes into contact with on a daily basis. Thank you for letting him know you care about him and who he is, that you care about how he is learning and progressing and that you are there for him and for us. We have found a community within this school and we are very grateful to each of you!!

I sent my daughter to Montessori Vision Academy in Las Vegas, where she was enrolled in preschool…read more One day, she came home and told me, "The teacher said, 'I'm done with you,' and then she told me that teacher said "You need to finish this task -- look, your daddy is waiting outside and crying because you're not finishing it.'" Remember, my child is not even four years old. After this incident, she began arranging her toys and yelling at them, saying things like "Stop! Stop!" This behavior was very unusual for her and raised concerns. I reached out to other parents, and some of them said their children had made similar remarks about the same teacher. I requested a meeting with the preschool director and the teacher. During the meeting, the teacher denied everything, saying my daughter is one of the best students and she would never do such a thing. I calmly repeated the same words the director had used in our first meeting: "We need to trust children -- they are not manipulative." That very day, I withdrew my daughter from the school. To all parents reading this: trust your instincts and your kids.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Coronado. As a parent, nothing matters more than knowing…read moreyour child is safe, loved, and truly cared for, and that is exactly what we have found here. The staff is kind, dependable, and deeply attentive.

Thank you, Miss Summer and Miss Maria for their daily warmth, patience, and encouragement. Jen, the owner, is exceptional, and her passion for helping children grow is reflected throughout the entire team. Knowing my four-year-old is in such loving, capable hands brings incredible peace.

The teachers and staff were always caring, kind, and genuinely excited to see the kids. They also did such a great job making things fun.

There was always something special going on, and they made so many happy memories there. We always felt like our kids were safe, cared for, learning, and having fun. They entered kindergarten a step ahead and had an easy transition into elementary school. We are so thankful for our time at Coronado Prep and would definitely recommend it to other families.

My son started at Challenger school over a year ago when he was four. He went to Montessori Visions…read moreAcademy prior to that. It's quite a change in his academic progress and his enthusiasm for school. He says Yayy every morning when I tell him what day it is, and that's school day. He started reading when he was four and a half. I don't have to ask him twice when it's reading time at home. Somehow Challenger got him to feel like he is having fun when he reads or works on the worksheets. He is able to explain to me errors he makes on his worksheets at school, and able to show me corrections. I am happy with his academic growth at this school. I like that the school entrance is locked at all time. You can't get to the front desk before you get approved to pass through the locked entrance There were couple times I had issues with admin. At first, I didn't know the school required uniform shirt and pants. I only ordered my son uniform shirts and went to buy him pants from a clothing store. One day he came home in someone else's pants with no note to explain why his pants were changed. When I called, that was when I was informed about the mandatory uniform. I was upset at how they made him change into different pants at school, and how they didn't have the courtesy to call me to work out the uniform issue. Another time was when I received a past due notice, and a warning of my son's school termination if the past due was not taken care of by so and so date. I was not made aware of the due. When I called the school to take care of the amount, I was told that it was from the one day that we picked him up late. Ms Brenda always calls me back in timely manner. For how happy my son is at this school, I can look past all the admin issues I have had.

They were there for first steps, bottle-to-cup transitions, and so many important milestones. The teachers truly care, and as a mom, that peace of mind is everything. We've been amazed at how much they've learned (not just academically but socially and emotionally as well). Our daughter has developed a love for art thanks to the creative and unique projects led by Ms Mummert. We are grateful for the care and patience to the toddler teachers (Ms. Elysa, & Ms. Kanae, Mrs. Ranieri). This past year, the new leadership team has made an already great school even better with more extracurricular activities and special guests. We are so grateful for our time at Merryhill and would highly recommend it to any family looking for a nurturing, engaging environment for their little one.

My son's teacher is Ms. Flynn - she is SO great (all I would hope for in a teacher for him). He is eager to learn, eager to share with me what he's learning and seems to be ahead of most kids his age with reading, writing & numbers. On top of that, I believe Merryhill has been a big part of his social development.

Jon Paul Suanders response was to ask me into his office "to teach me a lesson" which included: - the techniques I witnessed are the only way he knows ABA therapy to work. - I can expect this treatment toward my toddler to continue. - He stands firmly behind his RBT's Kudos for JP's blind loyalty to the RBT's, but the 2-week fresh RBT was the least of my concerns. - The supervisor *ESCALATING* the abusive tactics was my #1 concern. - Janelle *BLINDLY* yelling at my son to comply with ANY treatment being dished out was my #2 concern. - One week prior, my mostly non-verbal son *REFUSED* to get in the car torturously crying "I WANT PAPA! I WANT PAPA! I WANT PAPA! (x20)" If this is the treatment they were showing to us parents in person, we were afraid of what they did or were planning to do when we weren't there. From what I recall, Jon Paul insisted that "He doesn't know every Autistic person perfectly, but he is the master at ABA and these techniques were necessary". These are the techniques I witnessed: When the RBT raced my sons hands to the iPad - I heard a CRACKING SOUND, my son JUMPED and SCREECHED, and then I watched my 3yr old toddler rubbing his hands from the sting of being slapped. I consider that a "slapping-technique". Both hands on both shoulders, forcibly pushing him in the chair, I call it the "shoving technique". When my son wouldn't look at the RBT using the "slapping and shoving techniques", she grabbed under his chin and forced him to look at her, I call the "face yanking" technique. It is worth noting that my son had done this particular exercise hundreds of times prior - the only thing new they were showing me were the abusive techniques. I am no ABA expert myself - but as an autistic parent who comes from an abusive household, I know first hand the self-doubting, suicidal, high anxiety behaviors that result from slapping an autistic child as he is desperately trying to follow confusing instructions. There is also a TON of modern science that shows a clear correlation between these traumatizing events and PTSD, depression, and anxiety later in life. The financial fallout from ACW's RBT hitting my child is severe. It's a 3 month wait to the pediatrician, and THEN 3 month wait to another therapists, at best. So now it's private tutors, private pre-school, and no insurance help what-so-ever. Lawyers have made it clear: no bruising, no blood, no interest. And that is why I think it's important to leave this review - the only thing protecting you child from being abused up to the point of bruising is TRUST from their care providers. When I pointed out that their staff was hitting my child, their only response was to try and distract and discredit me. As an example, I wanted to discuss the fact their staff slapped my child in front of me and his mother and what corrective action would be taken, however, Jon Paul Saunders #1 concern was that 6 MONTHS PRIOR I had let my child jump on the bed for 5 minutes after 7 hours of therapy and 30 minutes of crying. This was considered "stepping on the RBT's toes". It became increasingly clear to me that the RBT's feelings were more important than my child's physical safety and mental integrity. Perhaps I do owe an apology to the RBT though - I had accused them of *accidentally* slapping my child, but considering the both of the Saunders, as well as the Supervisor applauded these techniques applied to my toddler I can only assume this is an intentional part of their programming. In all honesty, in the 18 months at ACW I never ONCE saw a child that was 5 years old and ready for kindergarten. I genuinely think the Saunders lack the technical capabilities to educate a child that far and it has been both costly and distressing to find out in this manner. I did NOT find the Saunders willing, wanting, or capable of enforcing the "neutral and positive touches" policy Autism Care West had advertised to me and my wife when we joined. I kindly ask the owners of Autism Care West to review their programming, policies, and procedures to ensure they comply with the "neutral and positive touch" policy they advertise.
