My daughter and I had the opportunity to have our one year old spend the day at the school. It was the very first time we had ever left him. While we were both in tears when we left our hearts were lifted when we returned to see him having the time of his life. The teachers were incredible and so loving. We had a detailed account of his day and it sounded like he had a great time. Miss Julie and Miss Vicky couldn't have been nicer to us. We were treated so kindly by everyone. I was amazed at the cleanliness of the school and especially the rooms in which my grandson was staying in. Many thanks for the love and caring you showed to us and to our baby.
For 4 years we have sent 2 children and will be sending our 3rd preschooler soon. we have had wonderful experiences and are very pleased with the level of excellence in teachers and their programs. great job Courthouse Academy! the larger sized school/programs is exciting to be a part of for our 3rd child. LOVE the parent night outs for our 3 sweeties!
Don't be fooled by all of the recent positive reviews (also note they are right around the same dates). This WAS a great school until this past 2011/2012 school year. I had two children there and were quite unhappy with the class sizes (22 kids in one class and almost 20 kids in another). The construction that went on during school was a huge safety issue for the kids while they were there. Constant emails and corrections of emails by administration were quite frequent and quite frustrating after a while. Not what I would expect from a "professional" organization. Money is the primary concern of the administration and not the children. Sad because it used to be a great school. I can quickly name 15+ families not returning next year for a lot of the same reasons. Please ask people who have gone there or go there their opinion- don't solely base your choice on the reviews.....anyone can write these glowing reviews.
Growing at a great rate!!! My little one has grown into such a smart happy little person since starting school at Courthouse Preschool. I was looking at some of these negative reviews and I have to say it is a shame that some people get a 'mission' of negativity in their minds and ignore all of the positive experience they have had. We, as a family have had great communication, and understanding and my child is moving forward in her learning and social skills by HUGE strides. We have had an issue here and there,as with any relationship, but it has always been addressed quickly, and in a kind, compassionate manner by the owner, director and the teachers, and to everyone's satisfaction. I recommend this environment for anyone looking for a well balanced, happy place for their child, and would enroll my kid again if I had to do it all over again. That is the best accolade I can give:-)
