"Loose dogs very very frequently to the point where it’s not safe to take my own for walks alone (loose dogs have attacked in the area)"

"There are lots of fast cars and loud parties so watch out for that. Every time I take my kid for a walk, I have to pick up trash on the street. That being said, the two local parks I go to are AWESOME!"

"People walk their dogs around the neighborhood. Its nice. Lots of friendly dog owners, others keep to themselves. Although it looks like a lot of them don’t pick up after dogs."

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is dangerous for students with autism. The school has multiple high support units and the principal has had no care for their well being or educational environment until an emergency happens. There is no follow through or support. Parents of students with high sensory needs, high support autism, ADHD, or emotional needs should be greatly cautioned when choosing this school while the current principal remains there.Other Review2y ago24 Reviews - Uphaus Early Childhood Center

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am thrilled to share my experience and heartfelt appreciation for Uphaus Early Childhood Center. As a parent, I couldn't be happier with the exceptional learning environment and dedicated teachers who have played an instrumental role in shaping my daughter's educational journey.The campus itself is nothing short of amazing, thoughtfully designed to cater to the unique needs of small children. Every corner exudes a warm and welcoming atmosphere, providing a safe and stimulating space for learning and exploration.What sets UECC apart is its outstanding team of teachers. They are undoubtedly the best in their field, showcasing immense passion and expertise in early childhood education. Their commitment to each child's growth and development is truly inspiring. The curriculum strikes a perfect balance between structured learning and free play, allowing the children to engage in hands-on activities while fostering their creativity and independence. It's impressive to witness how the teachers seamlessly blend both approaches, creating an environment that nurtures the whole child. Moreover, the teachers go above and beyond by ensuring that the lessons learned in school effortlessly transfer to the home environment. They provide valuable guidance and resources for parents, empowering us to reinforce the skills and knowledge acquired during school hours. They understand that education encompasses more than just academic achievement; it also involves nurturing well-rounded individuals who can thrive in various aspects of life.It is evident that the foundation being laid by the teachers at will set our children up for long-term success in their education. The dedication and care they invest in every child's development are truly commendable. By integrating life skills into the daily routines and classroom activities, the teachers ensure that our children have a solid foundation in areas such as communication, problem-solving, teamwork, time management, and decision-making. These skills are invaluable and lay the groundwork for their future success, not only academically but also in their personal and professional lives.I wholeheartedly recommend Uphaus Early Childhood Center to any parent seeking an exceptional educational experience for their child. It's a place where young minds thrive, where the joy of learning is fostered, and where lifelong memories are created.Parent Review2y ago4 Reviews - City School
