Teachers are friendly and make the lessons fun for kids! The issue I have are the following: 1. The teacher / pool manager doesn't pay attention to each student's progress. If you don't voice your concern, your child will likely stay at the same level for an extensive period. I'd suggest a real progress check/test every month for each kid to see if the individual is ready to move to the next level. 2. The front office is often rude. There is a lady who normally works on Sun, you get the feeling that she didn't want to be there... Her answers often ended with "I cannot help you" or "I cannot predict the future". We have decided to call for help during the week to seek help in order to avoid the lack of customer service... These are not major issues and should be an easy fix! I will start looking at other swim lesson facilities if no improvements made in the coming month. I have changed my review from 3 to 4 star as it has clearly improved on issue #1 since my review! Thanks for making the needed improvement!

When I raised concerns, I felt I was treated rudely and aggressively rather than listened to and respected. Instructors change frequently, which affects consistency and makes it difficult for kids to properly learn, there seems to be more emphasis on keeping students at the same level than on actively helping them progress, which has left me questioning whether the focus is more on revenue than student development. Based on our experience, I would strongly advise families to consider other options before signing up.

Agree with the recent reviews, pool set up has very limited range. Seems the instructors/…read moremanagement focus is just to get the child stick on same level as long as possible. They do not correct the kids during class rather just call out their weakness post the class which seems pointless for kids at that age. They stress on the fact parents learn the skills by watching/listening the instructor during class and then teach your child yourself during family swim. Definitely over-pricey. Feel being taken for granted and being used to the advantage there are not many swim schools around in area. Make up class process is so mundane and inconvenient.

If you miss a few lessons and have to make them up but cancel because you don't want to keep paying for more lessons they only give you 30 days to make up. The worst part is you can only schedule make up sessions weekly by calling in to check availability. But they never answer! And they won't schedule you in person. So I am basically robbed 100s of dollars because I won't have enough time to make them all up.

I rarely leave reviews, but I feel obligated to share my experience with the admissions process at…read moreCentral Montessori Academy. I first applied for my child on May 14, 2024, and received confirmation. Over time, I was told he was on the waiting list, and later that he was first on the waiting list. Then that there was no waitlist and administration had changed. I remained patient and continued to follow up appropriately. Since then, I have reapplied and followed up multiple times across the past two years. Most recently, I submitted another application and reached out again only to receive no response at all. I understand that staff may be out of the office at times. However, a complete lack of communication and follow-through over an extended period reflects a breakdown in process, not just timing issues. As a parent, it's frustrating and discouraging to feel like your child's application is not being actively managed. I genuinely like what this school represents, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Strong schools should have strong communication especially in admissions, where families are trying to make important decisions. At this point, it's difficult to feel confident in how prospective families are handled.

CMA has mastered authentic Montessori education (as American Montessori Society members). Not all "Montessori" schools do it right.

My family is so lucky to have this treasure in our community.

My daughter attended KinderCare Symmes from 12 weeks to about 20 weeks old. She was in the small…read moreinfants room with the non-mobile babies. The first person I interacted with at KC was their director. She took me on a tour, showing me the infants room and telling me all the great things about KC. It was close to work and the director seemed great and that it why we chose to send our daughter there. Our experience was pretty rough from the start. The baby and I were both getting used to this new routine. I was trying not to be the typical overbearing mother and put my faith in the teachers/caregivers. One of my first negative experiences was in the first or second week there. I knew my daughter had been struggling a bit. I stopped in to see her on my lunch break and spoke with the main teacher and one of her helpers. They made it seem like she cried all day every day. They asked me if she was colicky and what kind of formula I was feeding her, etc. At home my daughter was very happy, slept well and didn't cry a lot at all so I found this conversation very disconcerting. I tried to continue the conversation with the main teacher when I picked up my little one that afternoon, and at that time she made it seem like my daughter was doing great and was totally adjusted to the new environment. This was confusing based on our previous conversation (that had totally stressed me out). I followed this up by emailing the director who never responded. In addition to the awkward, poor communication with the teacher, I had a bad interaction with the co-director. She called me about some paperwork and as I picked up the phone I could hear her complaining about someone (though I never figured out if it was about me or my daughter or sometime else entirely). It was completely unprofessional. In addition to these interactions I saw the infant room over ratio at least a handful times in the two months we were there. There were older infants and toddlers all over the small infants room, exposing the babies to more germs than they should have been (sometimes touching the babies because the teachers couldn't reign them all in). The main teacher seemed very stressed out a lot of the time. Her assistants were never consistent (different people there a lot, at both drop off and pick up). It honestly just felt very chaotic. Now that I've laid out my experience and why we left I will lay out some of the pluses... The teachers and director were very nice. While communication could certainly use improvement I do think they did well under the circumstances. I really liked one of the assistants who I believe worked in the older infants room full time but helped in the small infants room in the morning. KC (or at least this location) also provides their own diapers and wipes, which was pretty big perk. They also provided formula if you didn't mind to ask them for it (you still have to bring the formula home and prepare bottles every day). And they work with many companies to give an employee discounts. I'm sure childcare is an extremely challenging field to work in. I didn't walk away with any personal negative feelings for the people who work here. A lot of the challenges we faced are likely typical of any childcare organization. But I wanted a smaller, calmer environment and more personal care for my daughter so for us KC didn't work out.

I was…read moreactually putting them in a different daycare but when I called they said that they had no record of my kids being enrolled there and put me on hold for 5 mins and came back and said they found the paperwork but from that point forward I had a bad feeling. Why would I leave my kids with someone that can't even find their papers? So I found this kindercare, and I'm honestly soooo happy things worked out the way they did, they classrooms are spacious, they offer more activities and things to do, and their playground looks super fun, my kids have never been in daycare and I was nervous but they settled all that and now I'm super confident and excited for my kids to be going here! I'll have a infant and toddler there. Very organized and clean and spacious.
