Silver Lakes

After this year VPK experience with my child, I don't recommend this school. The plan was to try it out and eventually enroll my 2 year old next school year when I go back to work, that is definitely not happening.Talking about academics, this is our experience, but my child's teacher doesn't seem to have much experience, and she is not really friendly, most of the time she looks like she doesn't want to be there. Miss Maria, who subed couple times were more friendly, my child still talks about her. Lack of communication is also a problem, a lot of times I have no idea that they have to bring a pumpkin to decorate, or a ruler because all her signs are at the door, and the door is always open to drop off and pick up. Other moms have also raised the same concern, so this is not only me. Their curriculum is vague, I only receive a letter every Friday with a brief summary of what they have done that week. When I asked the director, if this could be provided on Monday instead of Friday, so we know what to ask and talk about with our child, the response was that I could get into the classroom and look into the teacher's lesson plan. Seriously!?? A classroom we have to drop off and picck them up by the door. How am I suppose to tell the teacher, "excuse me, I need to go inside and check on your lesson plans." !??? I have no idea what or if any books are being read aloud, an extreamely important component to develop oral language and academic vocabulary for such young children.Finally, don't get fulled by the nice library or the computer lab that they barely use. This school is not worth my tax dollars or even worse the money that they charge yearly.I gave 2 stars instead of 1 because so far there were never a serious incident where my child was injured, or cried to go to school.
