"Great place, an amazing team! Congratulations we loved it… the bread and the butter were delicious!"

"This review is specifically in regard to their preschool program geared towards kids ages 2-5. This preschool is far too rigid in its policies. With young kids, unexpected things—like illness—are inevitable, so having the option to make up a class would make a huge difference. I recently learned they allow refunds only if you cancel at least three weeks before the start of the program. Since I registered 2.5 weeks before it began, that policy wouldn’t have applied to me even if I had known about it in advance.
Unfortunately, both times we registered (in the spring and again this fall), my children became sick before the program started. In the spring, it took significant effort to arrange a make-up class, and now we are facing the same issue again, but they will not make accommodations. It’s disappointing to have invested in this program twice and still run into the same problem— having to fight over something so basic.
The program itself is great for kids not yet in school, but families should be aware that exceptions are not made under any circumstances unless you really fight for it, so please keep that in mind. Because of their inflexible approach, I will not be registering my children again."
