LITTLE LAMBS LEARNING ACADEMY

(The bad parts are at the end) I’m giving this daycare 4 stars because my daughter loves it. She was in Ms. Kellie’s 3 year old class and was moved up to the pre-​k class with Ms. Andrea. Both teachers are AMAZING. My daughter is 3 and knows her 10 commandments, certain bible scriptures, her numbers, her colors. She is able to retain information based on the skills her teachers have instilled in her and for that this school should be proud of those teachers. There is also a set of twins who cover when there is shortages in classrooms who are both very professional and awesome with the children (Ms. Michael is on of them.)The daycare is always clean, and orderly. My kid never comes home dirty or with any bumps and bruises. DOWN SIDE IS, the owners of this establishment do not know how to talk to people. I wouldn’t say they are bad people, but they surely do not care if they are rude or not. They have 2 set of doors to get in, the second of which is locked. They want you to purchase a key for when they aren’t available to buzz you in or when they choose to ignore the buzzer (which means sometimes you wait in between two doors until someone comes out of the door). The woman owner one time ignored the buzzer that informs them when they are inside the door, and when I was let in I asked her if she didn’t hear it, she responded «have you bought a key?» Um… I’m a paying customer and have been for over a year, whether I have bought an OPTIONAL key shouldn’t make a difference in whether I am let in the establishment or not in a timely manner. This daycare is also hefty with extra costs, so don’t think you’re only paying a monthly fee. There is also snacks that you get for the whole classroom once a month, uniforms that you have to buy once your kid is pre-​k and up, registration and book fees, they can take your monthly payment directly out of your bank or they will charge you 5 dollars a month to manually swipe your card, and don’t forget your 10 dollar card that you can buy if you don’t want to rely on them to buzz you in. Overall, it’s a matter of how badly you’re willing to be talked to in order to give your child a good education.

I started out thinking this was a very nice, clean school. A month or so into it, it seems like my child’s treacherous doesn’t really teach her. Just goes over things as a class a few times and then switches to something else. There’s not really anything handouts that they get everyday to retain what they are learning. Therefore, she doesn’t remember too much. I’m just not a fan of the teaching style and how they don’t ever focus attention on students with solo time and just as a group. And it seems like they do everything to get extra money from you. Buying shirts that say little lambs, a key to even get in or you have to wait for them to buzz you in. It just doesn’t have a feeling of genuine love as I thought being a Christian school. It’s sad to me, but I will be taking my child to Mission now since they’re actually accredited!
