My son is the clas of 2023 for MAC and ALL I have to say is so far so good! The school is amazing…read more The staff is great, the school grounds are well kept and the kids that attend here are wonderful individuals. With my son being a freshman and not familiar with the private school life, a lot of things caught us off guard and overwhelmed us but from Mr. Clark (president and CEO) to Ms. Carter (Principal) to the administrative staff to the teachers, everyone has been patient, informative and understanding. My experience has been nothing but top-notch! Best private school in the area! Oh yeah, the football team is the BEST! Everyone here walks with an aire of proudness, of themselves and of their school!My son loves the family feel and the community of this school. Its like from jump, you know you're gaining a forever family! Mustang Spirit for LIFE!

One of the teachers allowed another child to report to me about my son's behavior during dismissal…read more She watched and nodded along as the child reported. This is extremely unprofessional. A teacher had a man that DOES NOT work at the school sitting in the school with her watching her work during after care hours. I did not know who this man was and I am sure he did not pass the necessary background check required for educators. That same teacher was vacuuming in one room while the children were alone in another room. My son was 3 or 4 years old at the time and the other students were young as well. If there had been a problem would she have been able to hear the emergency? The leader is rude to parents and students. In addition, for many years she has not had a proper board of directors. The board consisted of the founder and two of her relatives. This is a huge conflict of interest reflected in the schools inability to grow and adapt to relevant educational research. The Beddow School is supposed to be a non-profit. However, the school clearly ran in the best interest of the founder as opposed to the organization. Beddow operates like a for-profit business that mostly just benefits the founder. For example, the founder benefits by cutting costs and making staff that should be watching children clean instead. My son was left in a classroom with other students alone. Definitely, not what I signed up for. I am sad that I enrolled my child at this school. The first red flag for me is that the school is not named after someone who is a great educator. It is named after the founder, a shriveling woman that is alive and well. I am a teacher. It is not a career path for people that are self absorbed. Teaching requires a level of humility that puts students in the spotlight, which is why most schools are named for a mission or a person that has already proven themselves (like Mary McLeod Bethune or Maria Montessori). The first sign that the school operates in the interest of the founder is the school's name!

The best little Catholic school on the hill in the heart of Cheverly, Maryland. I chose this school…read moreto educate and help raise my son for a full decade, pre-k through 8th grade. In those 10 years, that went way too fast, there was never a day after dropping him off that I worried about his well-being, safety, education, social interactions, Christian development, or overall happiness. The very reasonable tuition was money well spent. Would that these reviews had no word limits. I would go into depth about our experiences in each grade. Everything begins with a stellar staff. From my very first interaction with the pre-k teacher and aide on my son's very first day of school ever, I was put at ease. From day one all the way through 8th grade graduation, I felt blessed to have found this gem. When we were there they offered hot lunch every day, before and after care, field trips, summer camp, CYO Athletics, a super fabulous science curriculum, and weekly Mass. With hindsight now I can see that St. Ambrose prepared my son for the rigors of high school with its looming academic and social challenges. St. Ambrose helped my son become a better student and a young man who lives by the Gospels but never too preachy. He made lifelong friends and had soooo much fun while learning. St. Ambrose, pray for us indeed.

Our oldest loved PK4! The teachers nurture the individual potential of each child, and instill a…read morelove of learning by making things fun and memorable. We got a weekly email about what the class was doing. Beyond academics, I am impressed by my child's social and spiritual growth. The teachers model respect and celebrate diversity. Families are welcome to share their traditions and culture, such as Hanukkah and Lunar New Year. Many faculty members are parents of current students and/or alumni, so they care deeply about the school and it shows. The small community builds a priceless sense of safety and trust. My 4-year-old knew middle schoolers by name, and they were always kind role models to the little ones. Many parents are neighbors, so I knew someone would have my back if I had a drop-off or pick up emergency, or forgot show-and-tell day! The admin is hardworking, resourceful, and receptive to parent feedback. Our family is blessed to have St. Ambrose as our church and school.

This year the Counsellors office is doing a fantastic job guiding them as they walk through the College Applications process. Her friendships are strong and reflect Seton's sisterhood which is diverse and inclusive. The President Dr. Grillo, brings a strong vision to empower and prepare Seton students and calm, thoughtful and prayerful leadership. She is warm and genuinely interested in each and every student's dreams and accomplishments. All of the staff seem to want to cultivate confidence in them to excel. Mrs. McDonough, the principal is always helpful and responsive. Students are encouraged to advocate for themselves, especially with class selection & teachers. Over the past two years, there has been a tremendous shift to expose the students to events with national leaders, business owners, career fairs, service and internship opportunities. The lunch menu needs to be tweaked, yes. The are many clubs to join and have a leadership role in or you can petition to start your own. Arts, Dance and Athletics is heavily supported and cheered for. If you love music, Dr. Tatum welcomes you regardless of your skill level. The Orchestras, Choir and Honors Wind Ensemble compete nationally, and again won in New York with a superior rating. The Choir was honored to be invited to perform at the White House! They offer Pre-Career Programs in Law, Engineering & Pharmacy and the Young Women's Entrepreneurship Program with a Professional Etiquette class students love -taught by Ms. Lawson. "Light to know. Grace to do." Great school and good people.

My child goes to the Ft. Washington branch, Overall I am happy with this center. She has learned a…read morelot and I'm impressed with the way the teachers care for all the children. To deal with kids all day long at this age is impressive. The administrator/owner of the center is always cheerful around the parents, although I'm sure behind the scenes it is much different for the personnel. My suggestions for the center would be to upgrade some of the "old school" look of the center such as the TV and maybe the color and wood. Lots of ants are complained about by my child. Additionally, some of the fees are steep but somewhat manageable because you are to break up the payments if the need arises. Summer fees are not really explained especially when you are providing the lunch. Graduation fees are ridiculous since they will not be able to wear the gown again because of size and color. A graduation hat with them wearing white would be more reasonable financially or maybe a program where you give them back and just borrow them for that day. PreK graduation is not essential IMO.

I'd toured the Jericho location years ago when I was still pregnant and was impressed which is why I later brought my toddler to the current Largo location. Their policies and procedures were constantly changing and the turnover rate was astounding. I did have a good experience with one teacher in particular, but when she left there were no longer any redeeming qualities. The "Assistant Director" was rude and ill-informed and usually unable to answer even the most basic question. The director was never available and rarely responded to email. I'd look elsewhere for the care of your little one!

They notify me every time he falls or gets injured by another child. They will also send an incident report. He did contact hand foot and mouth like the other poster's child during that time however I was notified immediately as soon as it was discovered. They also had the school cleaned out and had parents take anything that was their childs home to be washed. Now you must bring home the bedding every week. The turnover rate has been high the past few months but I do believe this is due to the wage that the workers are paid. There was a story about this recently on the today show. All in all I would recommend this daycare to anyone. My son has thrived and continues to thrive each day he is there. His teachers are very kind to him and have nurtured him through each transition. Whether is be with a new teacher or when he moved to the next class. The administrative part with communication can be improved but that just takes some training on the directors part to her staff.
