Reviews

1.0 out of 5 based on published family feedback.

Overpriced daycare

1/5

School claims to help mainstream and catch students up to be able to transition into a regular school and it only left my friend's kids further behind failing public school and needing counseling and tutoring. There's no set curriculum nor consistency in what the children learn. They also claim to curb behaviors and they only learn more maladaptive behaviors from other kids who have detrimental behaviors to other students such as bullying and bad language. Students watched mindless non educational shows on TV during lunch and snack breaks instead of social skills. Nothing but an overpriced daycare experience fin my opinion that us that leaves kids needing even more help from what they were exposed to and experienced at this school. I've had complaints from 3 known families with similar experiences.
