Baglett Grove

I grew up in this great Town of Hampstead and I recently bought a house in town. The schools are great and the people that make up this town are even better. Hampstead is a very small but tightly knit community that has a lot to offer. I played soccer all through Hampstead schools, Pinkerton and onto play College and professional soccer. I love Hampstead and hope to see more share their positive experiences as well.

If you like flexibility...don't enroll your kids here You have to choose a drop off time and pick up time which they are very strict on.... god forbid life happens or you want to spend some extra time with your kids. I was eventually asked to leave this daycare for dropping my son off at 930 because I wanted to have breakfast time with my son some mornings. Also the kids are not allowed to eat out of snack time.... If you like good communication from director and teachers......don't enroll your kids here Everytime I brought up a concern I was given excuses and never given a solution If you like a big play yard free of concrete and gravel...don't enroll your kids here. Most if the kids under one are strapped in a stroller for up to an hour watching the other kids play..so sad If you like to be able to drop your kids off in their rooms in the morning.....not an option here I was here for almost a year and was frowned upon when I asked to drop my son off in his classroom.Bottom line I never felt welcome here and was always looked at differently as soon as I brought up my first concern. I enjoyed one teacher who was great with the kids but they soon cut her hours due to trying to give the kids more freedom so she moved on. I did like the young toddler teacher and was happy with the crafts they did. That was the only thing I enjoyed out of my whole experience here. I would have moved on sooner but my options were very limited. I truly hope they change things here for the kids and parents sake.

We have been at Hampstead Academy for a year and half now, and our experience has been very positive. The teachers and school leadership take personalized learning seriously. My child has received the academic support he needs based on his individual skill level, which has made a meaningful difference in his learning.Hampstead Academy is a small school, and it may not be the right fit for everyone. We chose it intentionally because what matters most to our family is ensuring our child receives an education that truly meets his abilities, without wasting valuable learning time.We also love the campus. The wooded environment is beautiful, and the school offers ample outdoor time along with enrichment programs. Overall, we have been very happy with the school and our experience so far.
