I spent two days at Preston Hollow Child Development Center and decided that it was not the right…read moreenvironment for me. During my time there, I personally witnessed teachers yelling at children and getting very close to their faces when correcting them. I also witnessed a two-year-old being placed in a corner after biting instead of seeing the behavior addressed through calm communication, guidance, and helping the child understand their emotions. As an early childhood educator, I believe young children need patience, respect, positive guidance, and developmentally appropriate discipline. Children this young are still learning how to communicate their needs and manage their emotions, and I believe challenging behaviors should be handled with understanding and teaching rather than fear or intimidation. My experience during those two days did not reflect the type of classroom environment I believe children deserve or the type of teaching environment I want to be part of. I ultimately decided not to doing my trainings there plus one teacher told me that I talked too much and I shouldn't be asking questions through my training, which I felt that was disrespectful. I asked questions for a reason to know the environment to know how these children work and how the teachers work. I don't have any pictures to prove and it's funny because they have cameras there. I wouldn't take my child here!!! parents don't know the reality of how teachers treat children. I've been working with early childhood for 10 years now, and this was a disgrace teacher, screaming at the children and putting them on in the corner.

They offer rolling admission which is helpful and allowed us to start in March, rather than waiting for the next school year. He has had attentive and sweet teachers and has gotten the right care for his age. Only downside is the hours are 8-5, which are hard for working parents, but means he has the same teachers all day.

We moved our pre-school aged daughter to DIS from a Montessori school because of the opportunity to…read morelearn another language at such a young age. The difference in the schools is dramatic. DIS is caring and also provides structure and curriculum that has our daughter coming home speaking french, and singing french songs. The teachers communicate well by sending daily updates, weekly pictures, and by providing the curriculum so we can reinforce what she has learned at home. Everyone at DIS cares about our daughter; from her teachers and the teachers assistants that are with her everyday, to the receptionist that greets her daily - "Bonjour!" We love DIS, the community feel, and are so grateful for the opportunities it will provide our daughter.

Everything you need to know about the school: the school has ongoing difficulties hiring qualified…read moreteachers, which is a critical concern. The math teacher and the IB coordinator resigned last March, and as of December, no permanent replacements have been appointed. The teacher currently covering these responsibilities reportedly has no prior IB experience. Assigning teachers without confirmed IB background to senior-level classes raises serious concerns about the quality and continuity of instruction. The chemistry teacher taught online for half a year because the school was unable to secure a visa. Another teacher was hired in the middle of the year; however, the school has not provided any information regarding her IB experience or certification. This lack of transparency makes it difficult for parents to assess whether IB standards are being met. The school's salary and benefits package appears to be uncompetitive within the local market, which may explain the hiring challenges. At the same time, the school continues to allocate funds to cosmetic updates such as repainting facilities and redesigning the website through third-party contractors. This raises reasonable questions about budget priorities. Overall, student academic outcomes do not appear to be the school's primary focus. Additionally, it is publicly known that the director's wife works in UX design; beyond this, the rationale for the recent urgency to redesign the school's website remains unclear.

Imagine, just for a second, that you live in a different world…read more In this world, when you are traveling in France or Canadá, your child can have a conversation with adults or other kids in French with such a pure Parisian accent that no local would ever suspect that he/she did not grew up in France. Imagine a world where in highschool the honors class is the entire highschool, 9th graders present the College Board "AP French" exam and every single 9th grader gets a solid 5 (max AP grade). Imagine a place where AP courses and IB (International Baccalaureate) or FB (French Baccalaureate) diplomas are not mutually exclusive and, 1370 SAT and 30 ACT scores are the average. Sounds like a familiar place? If it does not then you should consider DIS for your kids.

She learned a lot, and I knew the staff cared for her on a personal level. I would recommend this center to anyone. My biggest problem was enforcing policies across the board for all children and parents. I felt like my daughter was scratched WAY TOO MUCH! I understand kids scratch, but if the nail clipping policy is enforced and parents are required to cut their daughter's or son's nails, scratches would happen less. Teachers should have nail clippers available at drop-off so parents can clip their children's nails. All in all, whenever I had a critique or comment for staff, it was always heard and respected.

And, that was not the case one semester at a different school. I also love the fact that masks were optional for the kiddos during 2020/2021. Teachers & faculty kept their masks on & the # of people entering the school was kept to a minimum. Temperatures were taken every single day & parents were required to wear masks at an outdoor drop off location. It was really impressive to see how well the Principal & Vice Principal handled everything during COVID. It was definitely not an easy time for schools to navigate & Skillman CDC took it in stride. They utilized extra space, deep cleaned each room after school, and my daughter told me her Pre-k 4s (Varsity) teacher was always keeping their little hands sanitized. The school managed to maintain a loving environment while practicing extra caution. They followed CDC guidelines. Ruth Ann (head of school) was very practical, yet caring and aware of the children's needs, IMHO. Sad to say bye to this sweet school, but it's time for Kindergarten!

Terrible experience here. If your child acts like a four year old and has not been in a formal…read moreschool environment before, I strongly suggest you protect the mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing of your little one and go elsewhere. PCBC Day School claims to personalize the experience and holds out to be a Christian based institution, when in reality the actions of school leadership indicate quite the opposite. My experience with PCBC Day School showed me they are not willing to put in the work for anything less than what they view as perfect. After Day 1 of my child's first day at PCBC (and his first experience in a structured pre-k environment period), his classroom attendant, Ms, Walters, (in my opinion far less than a teacher or educator as she holds herself out to be) and the school director, Nicki, called out behaviors that I have never seen my child exhibit before and I was shocked to hear them say. They demanded an evaluation to determine whether PCBC Day School was the right place for him and said they had someone coming to observe him the next day. They then pushed it to Day 3 (our last day there), but ultimately the lady never showed and I suspect she never intended to and they were just going to say she felt it was not a right fit. They very clearly made up their mind on Day 1 after dad told them he previously went to ABA because he had an early autism diagnosis, which our evaluator later said would not have been given after seeing so much progress and that he was ready for school. On Day 2, Walters said he improved but still struggled. I decided to observe my son after drop off on Day 3 so I could understand what they were saying was so "abnormal" for a four year old. I was there for an hour and a half. Aside from getting up from circle time to play with a water table for a short duration and then return to circle time, I was incredibly impressed with his behavior and engagement. I was certain they would be telling me how much he improved and was on track to gaining the comfort and understanding he needed to continue at the school. Long story short, they did not. On that last day when I came to observe (Day 3), (1) first, the lady that they said was coming to observe my son and his behavior never showed; (2) second, Walters lied about my son's behavior, and stated he did things he did not do (which was during the time I was there observing him in the classroom myself); (3) third, Walters and the director said that the school was for "typical" children, so it was not a good fit for my son, while asking me what I would do if I was a parent of a child with a normal child missing out on what they paid for in the classroom; and (4) fourth, to top off the day, my son was sleeping on a cot in the middle of the classroom with lights on and his classmates playing around him when I went to pick him up. This was absolutely humiliating, inappropriate, and borderline abusive in my opinion-- all because they were too lazy to deal with a child that they already gave up on. Ultimately they dis-enrolled my son AND his little brother, and then attempted to go behind my back by removing me off of an email thread to schedule a meeting with my ex-husband to discuss our meeting. This was after I informed them that education rights and decisions were exclusively mine under our divorce decree, and that my ex-husband simply had the right to consultation by ME. Do your child a favor and do not support this joke of a day school.

Park Cities Baptist Day School is a hidden gem.We were blessed to receive a recommendation from…read moreanother school about PCBC's summer program for my 2 year old. We had such a wonderful experience during the summer program that we cancelled our Fall 2019/Spring 2020 enrollment at a different school to keep our child at PCBC, even though its a further drive from home. It's worth it! First, the building has a nice, new and clean feel. Ease of entry and parking are very convenient. The school administration staff is so friendly and helpful--Nicki and Shanna are simply the best! Everyone is always happy and smiling, and its nice that they all know us by name. Their class sizes are small and each class has two teachers. My child receives a lot of attention and as a result can establish great relationships with the teachers and classmates. The environment is what we love the most--its the most loving, nurturing environment any parent can hope for their child to have away from home. PCBC really gets to know your child. Their school nurse Jennifer has been wonderful to work with regarding food allergies. Our son's teachers were very flexible and attentive when we started potty training, helping to make it a seamless and successful process. PCBC is not just a fancy daycare--they are certified and have a learning curriculum that is comparable to any private school. They have chapel and Spanish class--our two favorites. PCBC uses the Brightwheel app to update parents on your children throughout the day. I love the pictures and potty updates! We love PCBC so much and cannot thank them enough for being such a wonderful school that is perfect for our little one, and our family. I highly recommend PCBC for any parent looking for a nurturing environment for their child to grow their motor skills, social skills and more.
