Center for Teaching and Learning

Mi hija empezó el año pasado 2023 tenía 4 años y este año 2024 empezó kindergarden y he de decir una excelente escuela y excelente personal, como padres queremos nuestros hijos estén seguros y protegidos y esta escuela cumple muy bien.My daughter started last year 2023, she was 4 years old and this year 2024 she started kindergarten and I have to say an excellent school and excellent staff, as parents we want our children to be safe and protected and this school does very well.

Unfortunately, we didn’t have a good experience at the school, especially with two teachers. It’s a shame because there are definitely great teachers on staff, but the ones we had did not seem to understand child psychology. I honestly don’t know how they managed an elementary class—they had very little patience or kindness, which was frustrating, especially since communication between teachers and parents was also poor and should be improved.The pickup process in the extreme heat wasn’t ideal either, and it was sad to see the kids standing outside under such harsh conditions.

The recent years our child has spent at CTL have been transformative. The school possesses an exceptional staff and incredible resources, both of which supply the tools for an exemplary education. But the greatest benefit to a child at CTL stems from the single vision the school has toward a lifetime of learning. Since enrolling, our child's level of enthusiasm, curiosity and passion for learning has been both reignited and fueled by the teachers that surround her each day. These are benefits that every child enjoys each school day, and then takes with them - both at day’s end and when their days at CTL come to a close. We cannot overstate our appreciation for the enduring impact this has had on our child, and on all children who dedicate their formative years to an education at this school.

I am disappointed with the school leadership and lots of turnovers from principal to teachers and staff. This is also by far the most terrible school if you have a child that has disability. They offer services for your child based on what’s convenient for them and not what’s best and appropriate for achieving the best learning experience for my child. Some of the teachers are very nice and supportive but my child’s teacher who have a disability do not have compassion and all she did was complain about my child not finishing work, or participating and having behavioral issues. I constantly have to remind her my child is Austistic and that he’s got a lot of behavioral issues and that he needs help and support. She would email me Atleast 3-4 a week and we moved a lot a have another child who have disability and I’ve never gotten so much email about my disabled child not cooperating or having behavioral issues. The school is also overcrowded making it hard for the teachers to actually focus on their students and they constantly have to hire more teachers because there’s just too much kids in this school. Overall not a good experience for us!!! Of all the places we’ve moved and lived this is the worst school for me. My kids doesn’t look forward in going to school everyday.
