I can't speak highly enough of the entire staff; from the Infant room teachers all the way up to the UPK teachers - exceptional education & care IS always given. Staff here treat my children as their own family. Communication with parents is excellent. The director is accessible and the rates are affordable. Side note, this facility has a Nursing room, I was able to stop in and nurse my son as daily! My son is in good hands and my daughter still remembers her teachers years later - I'd recommend this center to anyone. I never had to or have to worry if my children are safe.

Prodigy is a truly remarkable learning center. Anzhela, Marcia, Ms. Lisa and the many others who…read morecare for our children give the upmost attention, care and love for all the children. We have been with Prodigy for 3 years now and had two children stay with them (our oldest recently graduated). Our kids have exceled incredibly under the care of Prodigy. Our oldest who is now in public school is autistic and Prodigy helped in accomodating her and all of her needs. She is currently striving because of the education provided by Prodigy. Both of our kids love the school. The staff is wonderful, the facility is beautiful and well taken care of. The food that is provided is of incredible quality. The Prodigy community is wonderful and truly feels like family. Also, Prodigy went above and beyond to keep all families safe during the pandemic. We would recommend Prodigy to everyone and anyone who is looking to get the best support and care for our children. This place is truly special and one of a kind.

We had high hopes for Prodigy Academie. Our infant and toddler both loved their core teachers, who…read morewere warm, consistent, and truly cared about the children. Unfortunately, our experience with management and some aspects of the overall culture left us deeply disappointed. On a Friday afternoon, we picked up our two-year-old and saw she was visibly upset, which was very out of character. She had been with a new teacher we had never seen before. When we asked what had happened, the initial response was vague. We followed up with management, who told us she had been "gently redirected" after spitting. The explanation felt scripted and evasive, and our questions were met with repeated, circular responses. Our gut instinct told us that something just felt off. Eventually, we were invited to view video footage. It had already been queued to the moment our daughter was crying, but we asked to rewind. That's when we saw what really happened: the teacher aggressively pulled her by the arm, and then left her standing there crying by herself. It was painful to watch. Not only was the physical interaction too rough, but the complete lack of empathy or attempt to comfort her was deeply upsetting. The teacher was let go on the spot, which validated our concern, but we only got the truth because we pushed for it. The claim that she had been spitting was not reflected in the video either; she and her peers were making silly sounds, which was totally age-appropriate behavior. What made this harder to accept was the school's constant emphasis on "transparency." We had been told, both during our tour and in written communication, that parents are always notified about staff changes and that the director is consistently on-site. Neither was true in our experience. The director opened a second location and was rarely present, without formally introducing or announcing the person she had placed in charge. When parents, ourselves included, asked for clarity, the response was defensive rather than collaborative. It also felt like a revolving door of new teachers. The lead teachers in each classroom were consistent and wonderful, but there was frequent turnover among support staff, and we were rarely, if ever, introduced to the new faces working with our children. This raised questions about why so many people were coming and going, especially in a setting that promotes stability and trust for young children. As someone who works in early childhood myself, I came in with a trained lens and tried to give the benefit of the doubt. But even before the arm-pulling incident, there were things that gave me pause, particularly the way certain staff members interacted with children. While many teachers were warm and developmentally appropriate, we also witnessed harsh tone, punitive responses, and outdated disciplinary tactics that didn't reflect best practices. After the incident, we asked if they would consider a small tuition credit as a gesture of goodwill. Instead of a thoughtful conversation, we received an email accusing us of "extortion" and were told to direct any future communication through a lawyer. It was a jarring and frankly alarming response, especially coming from a program that emphasizes partnership and trust with families. Our children were happy with some of the teachers and we're grateful for that. But ultimately, we could no longer trust the leadership team or the culture they fostered. If you're considering this program, know that while it may appear polished from the outside, our experience suggests there are serious cracks beneath the surface.

It is hard to believe that we had to say good bye but it is comforting that I can say with full confidence that my son is ready to move on to elementary school because of the values and academic structure that English Rose has instilled in him. Thank you Mandy for everything you have done for my son and our family. my son is ready for elementary school because of English Rose. And thank you for standing strong and doing everything in your power and control to continue taking care of our child during the Coronavirus Pandemic. There was no instruction manual or blueprint to guide you during these unprecedented times and like always English Rose was there for our children and the parents who needed them during these difficult times. Thank you Miss Rachel, Miss Deanna, Miss Melanie, Miss Brianna, Miss Jesse, Miss Kelly, Miss Linda, Miss Dawn, Miss Kathy and everyone else from the English Rose family who cared for my son. My wife and I will never forget everything that English Rose has done for our child and my son will always have the most wondrous memories of his days with all of you. James F

All the teachers looked happy and the kids looked happy as well. I loved the fact that they have four classrooms, a separate lunchroom, and a separate auditorium. Mark of Excellence is open all year round with a couple of days off (major holidays ect..) and does not hike up the rates in the summer. I toured other pre-k facilities and was shocked to find everything was done in one room. It has been two years and my son is doing great. He has learned so much and loves his teachers. I know he will be ready for kindergarten in the fall and in some areas be advanced. I always check the meal calendar and know that he will receive a healthy and balanced breakfast, lunch, and snacks. I placed my son's name on the list when he was 2 1/2. I hear now spaces fill up quick.
