Pinewood Elementary School

My daughter has been here since Kindergarten AND I LOVE IT! She is now in the 2nd grade and we love it. No complaints from me!

Avoid this school your child’s safety. They are not professional at all! There is only a 1 or 2 mentally stable teachers. When there was a SERIOUS issue that happened with my son “Another student wanted to shoot my son” and the teacher and principal did NOTHING because that was there last year there. They put pride flags in the classrooms when they DO NOT BELONG IN SCHOOLS.

This school is very good, teachers really care and all staff is very kind and respectful. about greats this is school is below average, but take in consideration that most of the kids in this school are learning English as a second language, and have parents that don't speak the language. This school provides speech therapy, math therapy, behavior therapy, for students with an IEP during the same schools schedule witch is a great help for parents.

The leadership is very unprofessional. When I worked there, I was asked to color my hair darker, and my hair has been the same color since I was a young child. I was asked to stand and twirl around so that admin could see whether or not to approve my dress for work, the same dress that I wear to church. Their own children were always recognized over all others for all events. No money was spent on air conditioning, school supplies, nor keeping the grounds clean.I can't even go over the entire list in this short space. Basically, there was a strong favoritism towards their own children, while being anything but Christian to the teachers and supporting staff. My fiancé has been building a stadium for these same people, and they are still being cheap and unprofessional to this day. Thank goodness I left!

I recently had a very disappointing experience with the daycare services at Spellman Prep School. As a parent of an autistic child, I made sure to communicate this to the daycare instructor before enrolling my child. Unfortunately, the instructor's ability to handle an autistic child fell short of my expectations.On the day I dropped my child off at 6:00AM, I received a call from the daycare at 7:40AM, which was just over an hour after I had left. The reason for the call was shocking. I was informed that I needed to pick up my child immediately because the teacher claimed to have a headache and had taken an Advil due to my three-year-old's crying. This left me in a difficult situation since I was already at work and had to rush across town to retrieve my child.To add to the frustration, I received a threatening text message from the daycare, stating that if I didn't arrive within 30 minutes, they would call the Department of Children and Families (DCF) on me. This was an unnecessarily harsh and distressing approach, especially considering the circumstances.Additionally, when I arrived to pick up my three-year-old, the state of the daycare was highly concerning. The facility was in disarray, with toys scattered all over the floor and no apparent organization or supervision. I was taken aback to find over 20 children running around without proper supervision or guidance.To make matters worse, I discovered that several children were left unsupervised in the bathroom, which is an alarming safety risk. It is absolutely unacceptable for a daycare to neglect the basic responsibility of ensuring children's safety, especially in areas as critical as bathrooms.This lack of order, supervision, and safety measures further solidifies my negative impression of Spellman Prep School Daycare. It is clear that they do not prioritize the well-being and proper care of the children entrusted to them.I strongly urge parents to take my experience into account when considering daycare options for their children. A well-managed and safe environment is of utmost importance, and unfortunately, Spellman Prep School Daycare fails to meet these basic requirements.In conclusion, I cannot recommend Spellman Prep School Daycare to other parents, especially those with children on the autism spectrum. It is vital to prioritize your child's well-being and seek a daycare that can adequately cater to their unique needs.
