  My daughter was attending there for the past 2 years. Her last year was in a Ready Start program. They were supposed to prepare her for Kindergarten. Throughout the year, on multiple occasions, I expressed my concerns about her fine motor skills and attention. Their answers were that she was fine and they wanted to sit back and wait and see what happens in 2016-2017. I trusted my gut feeling and paid for a full private neuropsychological. Turns out her fine motor skills are in the 2nd percentile for her age. And, she has a new diagnosis of predominantly inattentive type ADHD. HOW COME THAT HAPPENED?!?!?! She was surrounded by specialists in a specialized preschool, and yet they were telling me that she had no focus issues or fine motor skills problems??!?? They failed her because she was too high functioning autism compared to other kids that she got overlooked throughout the year. I was anything but mean or disrespectful with them, but they made me feel like I was overreacting, even saying that she must be my first child. But guess what? She’s not because my oldest has Aspergers. And I'm glad I was “overreacting”, because I was her real advocate here. Follow your feelings with your children. If you think something is not right, don't hesitate to have them them tested. One thing I will always remember, is on the graduation day, the teacher was calling the kids one by one and enumerated what they accomplished throughout the year. I’m not kidding, and I have in on video to make the matters worst, on my daughter’s turn, they said that she had beautiful long hair. Yup, that’s the only thing she “accomplished “ according to them. Not that her communication skills were tremendously getting better, not that she was able to get a little more flexible. Nope. She had beautiful long hair. That’s it. My mom’s heart was broken. ...More Reviews

  If I could give this school a negative 5 it would not be a "good enough" score! They have helped my child a bunch, however if you are a caring parent who wants to be kept informed of your child's progress or be welcomed to participate or visit this school, this is NOT the place for you! These are special needs kids, they need the follow up at home as well as school, and getting information about your child's day is next to impossible. They help the kids for sure, but a child is part of a family who also wants and needs the same help to keep the learning growing and care at homes, HUGE disappointment in 95% of the staff at this school ...More Reviews
