My Nonprofit Reviews

My daughter attended from Sept. 2022 till March when we were abruptly kicked out. Rules were changed specifically for me as a parent: not allowed to go inside, not allowed to speak/email kiddo's teacher. I paid tuition late, and without notice my kid was "suspended" -- an email was sent around 5pm on a weekday saying she was suspended effective immediately for non-payment. I made a payment that evening.

We were kicked out because I was told via email, we had come in late once during the week and tuition was reveived on March 2 instead of March 1. We reveived and email on Friday that week, at 5pm, notifying us were were kicked out.

My kid was out of school for 3 weeks. None of the kids even had the chance to say goodbye, my kid was very upset as were many others in the class.

I have been inquiring since Oct. 2022 because I did not see amy Spanish immersion and ver little work being done. 1 hr recess, 30 min lunch, afternoon "quiet time." I was also a parent volunteer for a few months and got to see and realize that there is lack of staffing, a few teachers are still working on their certification and do their work during school hours, a couple have V1 visas and are temporary. There is a heavy focus on saving money, even when parents pay tuition. Parents are asked for donations like office supplies, bei parent volunteers -- now I can see it is all about saving money.

My daughter is now so behind other 3rd graders, I will need to get her a tutor to help her and make sure she is ready to move on.

The achool does not recognize any celebrations - not even Spanish ones! I was very clear when I met with the Director about wanting to switch to the school for the sole reason of spanish immersion. I was falsely lured and then when I have been complaining and asking to see what the daily learning lesson plan was, got kicked out.

The Chair for the Board of Trustees is the Executive Director's father. So there is no real oversight.

Even after we were kicked out, I was told I owe for termination fees.
