The Lauren Wendroff Early Children’s Academy

My daughter attends preschool here and attended camp this summer. I have nothing but positive things to say: the facility is clean, the environment is positive, and the staff are caring and nurturing to the children. I researched most schools in the area and found the tuitions to all be pretty comparable. This school has some obvious advantages in my opinion, including the park across the street. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a positive learning environment for their little one!

I can’t say enough amazing things about this school. My 2.5 year old daughter started in March and since day one she has loved it. The teachers and staff are super caring and friendly. The director Erin and the financial director Sophie have both been great in answering any questions or concerns that I had and always return my phone calls and emails within minutes. The curriculum is impressive, I can’t even believe how much my daughter has learned in such a short time. She loves her teachers so much that she even asks for them at home. There is always something fun going on at the school, they have so much to offer! You get what you pay for and I have never once felt like I’ve been overpaying… go check it out yourself… I took 2 tours before signing my daughter up (my husband was unable to make the first one) and both times Gina and Erin were more than happy to show me around.

My daughter has gone to preschool here as well as have attended the summer day camp. The staff is very attentive and compassionate to the children under their care. The trips are fantastic, well supervised and fun for all ages. Ms Erin, Mr Flood and the rest of the team are well trained, professional and supportive. The musical workshops are super, our daughter and her friends loved learning their numbers and performing for the parents. I can’t believe the people posting the negative reviews. This school and camp are a gem to this city and have been for quite sometime.

The recent poor reviews are clearly malicious and patently false (they are far from the only game in town, for one). I have sent both my kids there for the past five years. We have experienced three different directors in that time and each has been better than the last — and the first was good! The staff are all friendly and the teachers my kids have had were all fantastic. Yes it is pricey. But I have never felt I was overpaying for what we get. But don’t take my word for it: visit and see for yourself.

To ALL parents, stay far away from this place.
The teachers and teachers assistants in the actual classrooms are lovable, caring and easy to speak with. However upper management including directors and finance directors are crooks and the place itself extremely overpriced for a run down and dated facility. Upper management (women in the office) are rude, uneducated and extremely unreasonable, They are all about the money and not there for the benefit of the children/​parents, Not to mention the facility needs some updating, dingy dirty walls, hallways and bathrooms. This place should be a state of the art facility based on how they rob the parents.
I am very unhappy with this place and extremely applaud by Sophie’s (Finance director) treatment towards me, a single mother of 2 when I expressed a cancellation of a summer camp application. Yes I understand policy, yes I understand protocol, however that does not give you the right to yell at a LOYAL, PAYING PARENT. It was unacceptable and I urge all parent to look else where. Do not deal with these money hungry, extremely unreasonable, uneducated, rude ladies.
Stay far away!
