My youngest child attended Blue Angel Early Learning Center for VPK and loved it. The environment is structured but fun. The teachers and staff care about the children and encourage them to develop both scholastically and socially. She has learned so much and but has had a blast doing it. They encouraged her to learn at her own pace and to also interact with others. I have some experience with other preschools and the quality of her education from BAELC far exceeds what my older two children received. I highly recommend this preschool to anyone who asks. My child's introduction to learning has been a wonderful experience. Thank you to everyone at BAELC!
My son has been attending BAELC for a year now, and he absolutely receives the attention and care he should academically. However, there have been times when he has told us that he wasn't given enough time to finish lunch, he has come home with his bottom hurting because he wasn't given adequate assistance in cleaning himself and there have been issues with the lack of respect afforded us by the front desk staff. I'm a working mother, my husband is military. We're very aware of what responsible parenting is, and I do not need to be chastised by a stranger for running late. The fact remains, I'm paying for a service. I will use that service as I see fit. If it weren't for the strides he has made academically, I would pull him from this school. The teachers are very kind, patient and adept. However, in the time we've been @BAELC, we have yet to have a parent-teacher conference to discuss progress. The communication breakdown is bothersome, and if you do have concerns, the only person you can address them with is the person most likely to be the issue. Many of the other parents there have the same issues with this person, and we have no recourse as she is the face of the facility.
This is the first transfer my children have had to endure. I had to find a preschool and after school care for them for the first time. My fear was that I would not find a facility to meet my standards. This school has by far exceeded my expectations and not only has been a learning experience for my children, but has made their transition easier for them. The entire staff treats my children as though they were their own. Miss Stephanie, the director, especially has made a huge and positive impact on our life. As demanding as her job may be, She always stops and makes time for me. My concerns or questions are immediately taken care of. I am pleased to say that the values, morals, respect & manners that I instill in my children at home are still being instilled in them at Blue Angel Early Learning Center. I highly recommend this facility to everyone. (Shannon T.)
My girls started at Blue Angel Early Learning Center when they were in preschool. My husband and I have always been impressed with the professionalism with the Mrs. Stephanie and the teachers. I have volunteered in my girls class during their class parties and have witnessed the love and dedication from the entire staff!
