The cost has been very reasonable compared to other preschools/daycares in the area. Aside from the outdoor play area, the grounds at FG are beautiful. They bring the kids around to the grotto on nice days. They get to see some trees and some wildlife like an eagle flying by. My daughter has made some great adjustments in her emotional wellbeing since she started there, and she seems to be learning fun and functional things. Her latest is " I have an idea" and she appropriately gets her stool to get to higher ground, for example.

They offer music, ballet, and sport classes for the kids as well. Offer extended hours, and are openly alot of the times.

Facility is clean, organized, and the best part are the highly qualified, seasoned, and caring teachers and the teachers' aids.

On multiple occasions I heard the teachers in the older childrens' rooms raising their voices…read moreloudly at children who were simply touching things or asking questions (in other words, normal kid behavior that needed gentle guidance & redirection, not an emergency situation of any kind). I could hear this while standing outside the building during pick-up and I also heard it when inside the building in the halls. My child started as a very young infant and the 2 caregivers that worked with her most closely seemed annoyed that she was struggling to take a bottle, or cried, or wanted to be held, or struggled with the texture of some foods when she was later starting on solids. All normal parts of development, learning to eat, etc. Caregiver would make negative comments to my baby in front of me at drop off if the baby started to fuss when separating from me. The 3rd caregiver she had at the school did seem caring and attentive and started to do sensory activities daily. Prior to this, it seemed that there were no books read, songs sang, games played, sensory activities. Staff wanted babies to lay and play by themselves. When I entered the room on a few occasions, I saw most staff scrolling on their phones while sitting on the floor rocking babies in rockers or on their bodies, and with older babies crawling around and not being interacted with. My child seemed traumatized by the lack of nurturing caregiver with whom to bond on her first times away from her mom.

If you are considering this school, please pay attention to all of the reviews. FYI, The recent 5…read morestar review is from the owner. My child started at M&E and had a wonderful experience there, until the director left, all the teachers followed her out the door. Things went down hill fast and the change was noticeable. Shortly into the new ownership, I came in to bring my child something and as I walked down the hall I heard someone screaming. An adult, not a child, yelling like a maniac. As I passed the class where the screaming came from, I saw a teacher in a child face. The owner was behind me and saw what I observed and said into the class 'You better listen!' Red flag. About a week later, we got a text that some children had gotten sick in the school. Within the next hour, I received 4 more messages that more than 10 children were throwing up and that we had to pick up our children. When I arrived, the owner was cleaning up the school with windex, bags of garbage were all over the school and it was a mess. I'm truly surprised that the board of health wasn't alerted Update: In response to the new owners reply, I'm not trying to hurt anyone. Just protect the children. I'm glad some of the old teachers are back. Our experience was negative and I do believe you were the one I dealt with when we withdrew our child.

Oak hill makes sure the student is doing his work and if extra help is needed, they will help. The homework load is a lot , but that's what makes for a smarter student. We love the small classroom size and the student to teacher ratio. The campus is small but very easy to navigate . The security is also top notch and very careful about student safety. Overall we are very happy with Oak hill. We believe the growth of our son is attributed to Oak hill and would highly recommend this school.

For the past 4 years, my son has been fortunate enough to call Bright Horizons "home." We began our first daycare experience at the center when he was just 17 months old, and today was his very last day of Kindergarten Prep. Throughout the years, the staff at Carnegie have loved my son through some of the most difficult periods of our lives. Bright Horizons is not just a "drop and go" daycare; teachers care profoundly about the children at the center and their families. It is serendipitous that Ms. Karyn, who was my child's first teacher at BH, also turned out to be his graduating teacher in KP. She has been warm, flexible, and supportive through deep personal hurts, such as when my son's father and I navigated through a very messy divorce. (I was extremely touched by the way Ms. Karyn approached sensitive holidays like Father's Day, even going above and beyond to help my son make 2 projects-- one for his dad, who was predominantly absent from his life at the time, and one for his grandpa). She was also hands-on and supportive after we received my son's ASD diagnosis, and worked earnestly with his BCBA-D to support him. Ms. Karyn knows each of her students intently and is always going above and beyond to plan engaging curriculum that will "hook" them. Her classroom is a place of creativity and inquiry, where students are always learning and developing a love of learning, too. As I turned the pages in his KP book, I couldn't help but cry seeing all the love that Ms. Karyn had poured into my child-- even on days when it was so hard to love him. Ms. Barbara, the center's chef, has ensured my child's safety at school from Day 1. My son has severe food allergies and center staff have in place strict preventative measures and an Allergy Action plan that have kept him safe for the entire time that he has been enrolled at BH. Leadership is always transparent and responsive. When we first started at the center, Jen Albright and Tracey Pennington created an amazing culture of partnership between Bright Horizons families. Diane DeYoung and Courtney Hollosi have continued to build on their strong foundation, with Kelli Mueller also playing a large part in connecting with families. Finally, we cannot express enough gratitude to the other teachers who have loved my son as he have moved up throughout the years-- Ms. Ingrid, Ms. Charlene, and Ms. Jessica. I wish all of the staff at Bright Horizons my very best, and cannot express enough love and gratitude for the years of happiness that you have given my child. As we continue on our journey to Kindergarten, we will cherish the years at Carnegie and never forget the profound impact you have made on our lives.
