I had a concerning experience with Denise at the daycare. She approached me about an incident where…read moremy daughter was bitten, she displayed an unprofessional attitude, insinuating that I was being 'double-sided' and suggesting that my child was to blame for the incident. Despite my explanation that my daughter was merely curious and did not provoke the situation, Denise's response was dismissive and lacking in empathy. It's disheartening to feel as though a caregiver is indifferent to a child's well-being, and I believe addressing this behavior is crucial for creating a supportive environment for both parents and children at the daycare. In addition to my experience with Denise, I also noticed that the toddler teachers seem overwhelmed with the number of children under their care. My final straw was witnessing my daughter's hair being pulled and her being dragged down without any acknowledgment or apology from Natalie, one of the Directors . It was alarming to see such an incident go unnoticed by the staff, and it left me questioning why my daughter seems to dread going to school. The lack of communication and accountability is deeply concerning, especially when it comes to the safety and well-being of the children. It's disheartening to be met with smiles while legitimate concerns are overlooked. I believe addressing these issues, including the staff-to-child ratio and the need for better communication and supervision. I am deeply concerned that if one of the directors has the audacity to speak to me in such a dismissive manner, then they may also have the power to influence how teachers handle parental concerns. It's troubling to think that legitimate worries expressed by parents could be overlooked or dismissed by those in positions of authority. A culture of dismissiveness from leadership can trickle down and affect how staff members interact with parents and address concerns. It's essential for the daycare's management to foster an environment of respect, accountability, and open communication, starting from the top down. Parents entrust their children's well-being to the daycare, and it's imperative that this trust is respected and upheld at all levels of the organization. Mrs Alejandra and Mrs.Sinclair are great teachers in her class but something just isn't right about the administration.

Both of my toddlers (5 & 4 years) attend this school, and the amount of material both of them have…read morelearned is amazing. The teachers and staff are very knowledgeable and they genuinely care about the kids they teach. The curriculum that is taught here, will put my kids above what other public school children are learning, which makes me feel good. I definitely will recommend this school to any parents of children who are not of school age, to get a head start in their learning. The benefits to your child's education, will definitely out way any other school or daycare. I also wanted to extend a big thanks to Mrs. Nassarin, for all the hard work that she has done for my kids. All of the staff and teachers do a great job with children's education.

The fact this school has mostly black employees here. And for a 1grade teacher to tell a parent she…read moredoesn't want to teach or do any of the activities for black history month is crazy. On top of that you have a principal that doesn't get back to you about your kid being bullied and nothing happened to the bully. Kids are required a chaperone at the last minute or it don't matter if your child as been known to wonder. KNOWING IT THEIR FIRST TIME IN A SCHOOL SETTING! You as a parent pay for your child to do things like the field trip and then say you have to come with your child to the trip but drive your own car to and from or your child can't go. My child was left at the school and I wasn't notified that he wasn't allowed to go. Then their communication skills are horrible I'm talking about the teachers! No sense of responsibility! No care either! And since Humble came over it's been worse! And don't get me started on the lady from humble that work the desk by the lunch room or that lady who runs the childcare she was cussing a student over the phone as I was trying to pick up my kid because I was 30mins behind. Oh and if you can't get your child to school between 7:30-8am your child is late. Need to drop them off early you have to pay. And this school is paid through the government! Also they have parents bring in snack just to sell it back to the kids! Heard it from a student I don't even know and a staff

Good Morning, Im…read moresure some of you have been informed that I will be visiting some classrooms in January at The Rhodes School, please do not be alarmed and please do not let Mr. Thad Gittens or his protégé Mr. William Davis fool you into believing that this is anything other than a professional visit. Mr. Gittens aim is to keep me as far away from the school by giving me just 15 minutes in 1 class to in attempt to show me the power he is able to exercise by law and keep the transparency to a minimum. I have told him that it's easier just to stay on top of his job than to hide behind policy rather than acting like he is supporting me. If the law didn't mandate certain things to be necessary or accessible to parents, The Rhodes School would not do those things either. I know all of you teachers need your jobs at TRS even if it is just for a season whether to get fully state certified, financial reasons, work experience, and/ or the like. My aim for coming is to observe more of The Rhodes School operation, specifically how my children are learning in the classroom and to make senior leadership do what they are paid to do because they have not been consistent, non-accountable to conscious parents, reactive, and utterly unprofessional unless they are on the defense. Im coming for a visit because it is my right as a parent to visit my children's classroom and on behalf of other parents that are not satisfied for reasons that are professional, legitimate, and similar to mine. There is no leadership accountability at The Rhodes School, just teacher accountability. They will hold you accountable, but they won't hold themselves accountable to inform all of you of you their policies and your responsibilities to you at The Rhodes School. I have high hopes and high expectations for my children just like some of you do for your children so it should automatically be expected this school should provide you all you resources you need in order to teach and just because it's a predominately black school does not mean I/we deserve any less. When I eat out at a white establishment, I don't expect any less of service than I would at a black establishment. Likewise, when my children attend a black charter school, I don't expect any less their either. I should not have repeatedly ask questions like: 1. Why isn't the phone being answered 2. Why does it take more than 3 days for teachers to respond to emails? Or why are teachers responding to emails the following week about academics or curriculum? 3. What curriculum are my children working on? 4. How did they do on the CBA? 5. Why grades are not updated daily or every 2 days? Not monthly! 6. Why are my children's teachers changing again or why wasn't it notified? 7. Why am I encouraged by leadership to cc the principal when I need something from teachers? 8. Why is fine arts equipment (music) still missing if this is a fine arts school? 9. Why don't leadership's children attend The Rhodes School? All these questions are questions that I asked just last year, some more and some less. I'm not a rebel without a cause, I am a concerned parent. If my own children didn't go here, none of you would know who I am. However, I have a vested interest in this school only because my children have to go here, for the time being. The Rhodes School leadership has been more reactive than proactive so in order to save face, they are trying to make things difficult for me to obtain information, but it wont stop me. I will keep going. Every parent has a responsibility to ensure this school is held accountable for what they are promising. I apologize in advance to the teachers for the blame you may receive, I know TRS probably didn't properly fully educate and train you. The school is running damage control because they see I'm willing to write, not because the things that I am asking for is the parents right. I want to caution you not to let them scare you or take on the unprofessional stance and attitude of the senior leadership at The Rhodes School, I'm doing my job as a parent and as a man. Most black men don't stand up for anything anyway unless it's about money or their job, nonetheless do black men know what's going on with their children educationally. In the meantime, thank you for teaching my children. I am grateful to all of you.

They have attended school at FBA since they were three years old. My opinion is the phonics learning program they use has put my kids ahead of others their age. The class sizes have ranged from 7 to about 12. This has given the kids a lot of one on one attention. The teachers there really have a love for the children and are pleasant. I also attribute my older child's love of reading to his early years there. He was reading 700+ page books before finishing 2nd grade. My kids love the school and their teachers. If you are looking for a Christian school that strongly focuses on the Bible and your kids education, consider FBA.

My only complaint about this school is it only goes up to age 6. If they had more grade levels I…read morewould keep my kids there forever! It is a traditional and accredited Montessori with a stable staff with decades of experience and certifications. Both my children have gone here and learned and grew by leaps and bounds. My 2-year-old would come home knowing things I would expect of a child twice her age. They cover all areas of development and not just standard academics. Skills such as practical life and manners alongside science, social studies and cleaning up. All classrooms are very quiet and organized and kids are engaged in their personal learning activities. Teachers are polite and direct with students and help to guide their development in a positive way. My kids both were always excited and happy to go to school and upset at the end of the day when they had to leave. My child's current teacher is Ms. Vanessa whom she adores. She has tons of experience and has helped my child to blossom in ways I never imagined were possible. I look forward to what the next few years bring.

As a new mom, I was super nervous about leaving my little guy somewhere new for the first time since he was born - but they have exceeded all expectations. From Day 1 the teachers and staff made an effort to know his name, and make all of us feel so welcome and valued. The teachers in room 1 have all been so kind and lovely, especially Raven - who really seems like she was meant to be around babies. She brings such joy and light into each day and gives detailed updates (even for blowouts lol) with a smile. As far as technology, the daycare offers apps for parents to live stream video of all classrooms and see live feed updates of everything going on in the day (diapers, how much they ate, etc), which we have found super helpful to feel 'in the loop'. The teachers also upload pictures of our little one throughout the week which we so so enjoy. They offer events and special days for the kids frequently, in addition to a (paid) parents night out which we hope to take advantage of soon! There are snacks for the kiddos each morning, and chocolate chip cookies on the way out every friday afternoon. The babies in Room 1 are involved in a range of activities throughout the day such as story time, flashcards, sensory activities, painting (with take home presents for mom and dad), outside buggy time, and a variety of other things. Tip for other new moms: they don't let you do glass bottles (or food jars), for fear of shattering upon warming. Plastic bottles / food jars only.

My daughter was attending pre-school before we moved so it was not a new thing for her entirely but she was still very shy with all the new faces and places when she began attending Kiddie Academy. The Kiddie academy staff was very patient with my daughter when she had her tough moments, and her teachers always took the time to make sure she felt comfortable and loved. My daughter's primary teacher was Miss Coy. She is an excellent teacher! She is very kind, patient and energetic. She also had class pets and allowed my daughter to do show & tell with her pet tortoise to share with all her classmates. My daughter raved about her favorite teachers Miss Coy, Miss Courtney, and Miss Meagan on a regular basis and was always happy to see them upon returning to school. Kiddie Academy offers a way for parents to watch video of their kids during class which was really awesome because it helped me feel better to know what she was doing throughout the day and how she was feeling. This facility also does events throughout the year not just for the students but also for the community which was a great way for me to meet other parents for play dates. I would like to thank all Kiddie Academy staff for their outstanding care and safety measures provided to my daughter. Her heart and mind have significantly grown while attending this facility.

I am extremely concerned about an incident that occurred involving my grandson at this school. He…read morewas placed in a corner by a teacher for approximately three minutes, and when he came out, he was bleeding. This is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about student safety and supervision. What is even more troubling is the school's lack of response. No meaningful action was taken, and the teacher involved remains in their position without accountability. As a family, we expected a thorough investigation, transparency, and reassurance that steps would be taken to prevent this from happening again. The safety and well-being of children should always be the top priority. Unfortunately, based on this experience, that does not appear to be the case here. I strongly urge the school to take incidents like this seriously and implement proper measures to protect students. I spoke with Stacey and she clearly didn't care and the owners were supposed to call me and I'm still waiting. The worst part is that his mother worked there and they didn't report it to her as well, she found out when she picked him up and he had large knots on his head and was bleeding .. Needless to say she was fired because she was a concerned mother... Please don't bring your kids to a place where kids are not put first. Stacy and Cermany need to be fired
