    Our child spent 3 years at the school, and it started out well but by the end of our time there we…read morewere glad to be done dealing with them. The teachers are nice and have a good curriculum, but it doesn't vary from year to year, so if your child goes for multiple years they repeat the same songs/experiments/projects every year. It is a private, not-for-profit school, and that is good and bad. The good thing is their is a volunteer Board that handles the finances, policies, etc for the school. The bad side of that is children with behavioral issues (physically aggressive with others, excessive crying from separation issues) take a large amount of time and attention from the teachers, leaving the rest of the students with less direct teaching and adult interactions. The first year there was a floater teacher/teachers aid that was very helpful in these situations, but that position didn't exist in the 2nd and 3rd year for us. We would have gone elsewhere for the 3rd year but Covid restrictions kept our preferred school from opening. The room has multiple stations that kids can choose to play with items like play doh/floam, a water station, painting, play kitchen, etc, so they choose where they spend time, and then there is something teacher-led for the children to interact with the teacher. It's nice for kids to pick what they do, but there isn't a structure in place to ensure kids participate in the teacher-led portion, and if that is where the true curriculum planned for the day or week happens, it's possible your child is just playing all day. That's fine for part of the time, but we found it happened a lot more frequently than we wanted. We were looking for social interaction as well as teaching kindergarten preparation skills, and we ended up teaching most of the skills at home. There was a change in the Director position during our time there, and we did not feel that the new Director had the same skills or strengths as the previous one, and we did not agree with the handling of classroom issues that indirectly impacted our child. Maybe with time this will improve, but we were often frustrated or disappointed in the processes in place.

    The Staff and Leadership do really care for the kids when they are in the center and also when they…read moreare off. Their caring nature is very visible when you walk into the building. It's a small close knit community and kids really interact with each other well. Center times are very convenient for parents to pick the kids up without being charged additional charge.

    Our son has attending this program for the past 2 years. Working in K - 12 school administration…read moremyself, I am consistently impressed with the professionalism of the staff and the curriculum offered to children - particularly in the context of preschool programming. The preschool programs follow state early learning standards, and I am confident that he will be well-prepared for kindergarten as a direct result of the dedicated instruction he receives from Scotty's. The director of this program is heavily involved with the children and staff, and it's clear she loves her job and the various programs. The center is also exceptionally clean and I observe the staff cleaning thoroughly on a daily basis. We look forward to continuing to send our children here for the next several years, and highly recommend this to any parent

    My son has been at Scotty's Kiddie Korner since he was 1 and now he's in the latch key program for…read moreschool age kids. I've always felt very safe dropping him off at Scotty's. I knew his needs would be met but more importantly I knew the teachers really cared about him. They have seen him through many transitions. They always offer a hug, wipe a tear or give him the appropriate discipline he needs to help him grow. I know they really care about my child and that kind of peace of mind is priceless. -Pamela Johnson (Ellington) Ps. I saw that one reviewer didn't like the security but I LOVE the security. I have a completely different take on that. I don't want people just being able to walk into the center and have access to the kids. I like that they check the parents are really the parents. I have dropped in unannounced at all times of day and have had no problem getting access to my son.

    This center has continually surpassed my expectations over the course of the past year. They employ…read morea diverse staff that brings a variety of teaching styles that keep the activities fresh and engaging for all of the children; the infants, toddlers and preschool. The kids are always learning something new and they are always having fun (while developing the social skills). Monthly and weekly themes and lessons are consistent, clear, and well communicated with the parents to allow them to be involved and able to follow up and easily provide enrichment after school. Communication across the board is too notch. Throughout the day parents get regular updates via the Brightwheel app, including pictures, meal updates, and potty and/or diaper changing schedules. The app is also used to send centerwide messages from the staff, as well as personal notes to alert us to any issues the children may be having. I could go on forever about my experience and have nothing but positive things to say about FFLL. I highly recommend 'Foundations' to anyone who is in need of childcare and/or preschool. If you are currently looking you owe it to your children to call and set up a tour with the director Marie! I have had direct experience with different ages and classes. I can assure you that you will find compassionate, caring and engaged teachers in every room who will work with you to achieve the goals you have for your child!
