Granada is an amazing place. I had my son there and he enjoyed every minute of it. It made us so happy to see him excited to go to daycare. All the teachers are so nice and caring. They really do care for the kids. In the time he was there he learned so much. Compared to other kids his age he was more advanced developmentally and I owe that to Granada. I couldn't be more grateful for his time there. It really makes a parent so happy to know your child is going to a place that cares for them so much. They are also great at communicating what is going on during the day. My first week, being a first time parent, they made sure to communicate extra with me. I will miss sending my son to Granada. We had to pull him out as I am now working from the office and are unable to pick him up in time. If not would have loved to keep him at Granada. Thank you so much to Ms. Maria, Ms. Maidiel, Ms. Juliet and Ms. Vania!!

In a class with 8 students, the teacher could not manage to correctly spell or say my sons name after being corrected multiple times (its not a difficult name to figure out). The staff was constantly rude and condescending to my wife on the phone and in writing via their app. We had to contact the headmaster multiple times for various issues. Our teacher would tell us one thing in the morning and then later after we brought the issue up to the headmaster and the teacher was presumably notified of our concern, say that there was a miscommunication regarding what she clearly told us earlier that day. These sorts of red flags should have been enough to pull our son from this daycare, but it gets so much worse. I would highly suggest taking your child elsewhere. My son came home with diaper rash all the time, but now that we hired a nanny has never had one again, making us wonder if they just let him sit in a poo filled diaper all day. We would be sent home with clothes and food containers that weren't ours making us question whether he was being fed his own food we sent or someone else's. I just don't understand in a class of 8 with two teachers how things could be so careless. Again, they couldn't even spell or say my child's name correctly. He would also come home with bumbs on his head and the teacher would say that it didn't exist. (Exact convo: "Hey do you see this red bump? How did he get this?" *points to red bump* Teacher: "I don't see anything! No there is nothing there!!") He got sick once a week every week for a couple of months even with their "stringent" covid protocol that I would venture to guess was non existent in the classroom. I think there was a mold problem that was not reported to the parents, because after my wife sent an email enumerating our pediatricians concerns about the conditions my son was in and his recurring respiratory illnesses, they changed his room within 2 hours of the email and began a gut renovation in his classroom.I do not trust this day care at all. My wife tried hard to make this work, but time and time again we saw that this place was just was not a safe, appropriate environment for a child and there was a serious attitude issues with the teachers and staff.

This school is wonderful, I can't say enough good things about it. My child learned so much in Pre-K, by the time he left, he knew how to do basic math and read. The staff is very friendly and the teachers' and the teacher's assistants are extremely loving and go above and beyond for the kids. I wish they went beyond Kinder!

I recommend Granada to everyone! This school is amazing! My son learned so much. He is 3 years old and is writing his name. He is also able to sound out words. The teachers are amazing. I have to leave my child in before school care and the teachers are very loving and attentive to his needs. The new curriculum is fantastic! My son has learned so much. I can't wait for next year. I highly recommend this school.

What a wonderful school. My son attended this school from age three through kindergarten. It was a wonderful experience for him. Why? First, the loving personal atmosphere made transition from home into school painless. Second, the teaching staff love the children and they are also excellent educators. Third, the community of the school is strong and vibrant. Many amazing friendships emerged for our son and our family. The spiritual life of this community is amazing. There is such support and love.
