Our youngest child started his second year of pre-K here and it has been a nightmare ever since. We were misled by the school during our interview with them; the school told us that because our child was advanced academically that he could integrate into the kindergarten class and get a year ahead. We took him out of his private pre-K believing that what we were told was true. During the year, the class reviewed everything that our child had previously done. The school struggled to challenge him academically which led to behavior issues and ultimately him losing knowledge because he spent all of his time playing; he left pre-K with less knowledge than he went in with.While he was there, inadequate supervision was given and our child was left alone long enough for another child to undress and expose their genitalia to the class, discuss shape and colors of it and dress again.Our middle child is special needs and his current teacher takes the stance that parents are incapable of helping with homework so she chooses not to send anything new home with him to work on. He started pre-K there three and a half years ago and is still at a kindergarten level academically yet requests for homework and summer school have been denied.Our oldest child spent half a year at the school. His teacher was unable to describe her grading system and was unwilling to produce a grade book to help us understand why his report card was unpredictable.This school has issues from top to bottom and should be avoided at all cost.Among three children and three and a half years at the school we have only experienced one good teacher who both cares about our children and helps them succeed by presenting achievable challenges and being emotionally supportive of them.
