Shannon Center Pre-School

This school is definitely worth the money. I have been to all sorts of preschools, some high end ones in Chicago to the Y. Mrs Ruth is FANTASTIC. If she is there when my youngest is ready then he will go there. That have several different programs and they are half day morning and afternoon. It is worth every penny and a fraction of what I was paying in Chicago.

My daughter attended Preschool here last year. There were 2 teacher changes but each of them were truly great and each one was better than the last. Ms. Ruth was the teacher the majority of the year and she was truly top notch. She was so kind yet firm and surprised me by how well she knew my child and how she learns. I am comparing to the pricey preschool my daughter attended the prior year, besides larger class size, this school and Ms. Ruth were as good in every way. Ms. Cindy the director is engaging and always took the time to answer questions. I recently toured her JR. K class which prompted me to write this review, this is an excellent program, a small class size with a phenomenal teacher.

My child attends this school and what a mess of a school year thus far. We have had I think four new teachers total, a complete change of rules that were spelled out on parents night, along with one hell of a rude person as the director. The director is constantly barking rudely at my child’s teacher as well us parents, I have to wonder if she speaks to the children in the same manner. I have recently talked to a few other mothers and they seemed as frustrated as I. I myself am a working mother, all of the DAILY changes to agendas, diets, interactions– you name it are getting old. I have a very tight schedule, it is very hard to accommodate all of this. I hope they hit their stride soon or were out.
