I booked a drawing class for my daughter. Everything that I booked indicated that it would run from…read morebeginning of June to mid-August. I go to drop her off last week and was told the class was canceled. So before driving her in again I decided to check online and the remaining classes were all canceled. Evidently their schedule runs different over the summer and they just "cancel out" the remaining classes. I would have never booked had I know it was only 4 classes of someone standing there and watching kids draw. My daughter learned nothing and the teacher was just a glorified babysitter claiming to know art. Very disappointed. Be very very cautious when booking. Read every little thing.

Not sure how this place is licensed Not a nurturing environment for any child Don't trust this place with your child They only cared that all kids stay on their nap map, quietly for 3 hours every day - a 3 yo- or they wanted him picked up. Constant nonsensical negative comments every day, never any positive feedback. Neglected him with a runny nose to the point he came home with a raw face from him wiping himself. While Outside, found his teacher not watching the children but on her phone. The list goes on and on. Neglect and unkind are the nicest words I can say about this awful place .

I enrolled my foster daughter here as they were the only program with summer openings & I needed…read moreshort-notice care. On her first day, she was choked and hit by another student, and the school failed to notify us until a few days after, despite them sending dozens of other unnecessary updates. There doesn't seem to be much learning happening and the facilities are bare, with hardly any activities, toys or even a playground for the children. I found the director to be condescending & the staff too concerned about my daughter's background and home life rather than the choking, hitting and lack of teaching/learning at the school. Luckily, another spot opened at a different facility and we transferred my daughter immediately; she loves it there, is learning rapidly and feels more comfortable with the staff and students. This "school" is not worth the price tag, given the barebones facilities, frivolous updates/paperwork, lack of teaching, and overbearing staff. I find it completely unacceptable for staff not to alert a parent if their child has been severely hit while in their care. Look elsewhere!
