Very bad experience from the school.

They do not care about the child’s development nor have the capability to engage kids. They can only handle kids who listen to them like robots and do not talk in the class as it is easy for the teachers and staff which is ridiculous. If they are not listening or act like kids should they get called out and sent home.( my son is 3.4 years old )

After his class teacher changed he started having rough time and also he was not liking the class environment.They even agreed that they are not capable and do not know how to handle situations when kid doesn’t listen to them.

Regret sending him to this school, hope this review helps to anyone who is looking to join their kids in this school, may work short term but once kid is 3+ and becomes more inquisitive and questions everything you will see a difference in the staff as they cannot handle their growing needs and refuse to put them in different class

Overall very bad place for kids to spend time , he was going to this iselin branch since he was almost 2 years old and had been having rough time in the school recently after his class teacher changed. When they complained about him we suggested to change his class to better fit his needs, they told that they would shift him to another class after two months and then when the current month ended they suddenly asked us to drop from school even without giving time to try ONLY after sometime around 5-7 days and we were also asked to send my son only half a day to school as they cannot manage

Teachers and management are highly incompetent and are not professional in any means.

We shouldn’t have wasted time with them to discuss why our son was suddenly having rough time in school as they had no idea… they don’t have time nor the means to care for kids, very commercial place.

If your child is not a robot, this is not the school for you! The owner, Noel, will sell you with his love, dedication, and caring for the school/children, but in the end, he’s just a business man trying to make an EASY dollar. After being there for almost a year and a half, my 2 yr old was expelled for NORMAL, 2 yr old behavior (ex: tantrums during diaper changes, for one) and the advice given by Noel was to talk to his pediatrician! (who actually laughed when I told her the situation) He told me that everyone bent over backwards for him and couldn’t do it anymore! When you’re paying half your paycheck for childcare, I would expect every child be bent over backwards for! I was also told he’s too attached to his teachers, who obviously provoked this, bc he is a very affectionate, lovable child!
I was called in for ONE meeting, not to warn me of possible expulsion, or try to work with us, but to let him go by the end of the month. Weirdly after, there was not another behavior issue again. Either the staff is not qualified to handle the terrible 2’s? Or maybe someone offered a little bit more $$ to come off the waiting list? It’s a little weird that he acted this way in school only! Either way, the way he spoke about my baby was unacceptable and after running a school for 20+ yrs, he should know a thing or 2 about normal 2 year old behavior.
I gave 2 stars bc there are actually some very kind teachers that me and my son really loved!
It’s a shame how they go about business leaving you to think that your 2 yr old has a behavior problem and now he has to start over somewhere else!
