First Step School

We used this school for a few months after moving here. Our child is a hard core 5 year old who is awesome. She previously attended another school far far away and was much loved and cared for. The difference is striking from there to here. The school is a faded metal building on the outside but the inside is very nice. It has been added on to and there are multiple rooms all decorated very cheerfully. It has a loved in feeling. That is why we choose it, as well as proximity.
We recently withdrew our kid because we just weren’t feeling it. The director essentially communicates by email but is not engaging or endearing in any manner. This is a business and you better read that «contract» with all seriousness or will get a reminder email. You will be reminded by email on all sorts of things even though you have to pass the office to go in or out and she is always there at the desk on the computer (?sending emails). We just didn’t connect. The holidays were it for us, the rules are so strict if your kid wants to come in at 9:01 well too bad they did count at 9:00 and no exceptions. You will get a reminder email just so you remember. So much for sleeping in a bit on break. I am being difficult but my point is the school just did not feel like it was there for my kid. When we notified them were withdrawing the director did not bother to ask why, just reminded my husband about the need to pay for the next month since we didn’t give notice. All business, just not my business.
Find a place more compassionate, truly caring and that will visit with you and work with you as a human being when it concerns your child.
