The Clifton Little School

My daughter went there for a year.
There was a mean, cold teacher back then named Stephanie.
She was too hysterical, far from being caring and warm hearted, to take care of toddlers.
I had consulted my concern with both manager and owner, but they would not be willing to improve the problem.
Although my daughter is now a teenager, I am writing this on behalf of my daughter becuase she still has bad memories about the school. She hurt so much back then, that she does not even want to look at the building whenever she passes by.

I love the Clifton Little School. My daughter was in Bouncing Bunnies last year and she went from not wanting to go, to loving it! The teachers and staff are incredible, they always had fun activities for the kids and it was CLEAN! Ms. Jennifer was a pleasure to deal with and I felt like she always worked with me. I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for day care for their kids and will go back again when I need to go the day care route.

I have a completely conflicting view than the woman below me. My son was very introverted, shy, wouldn’t play with children or wouldn’t learn a thing from me. He started there in the summer program at 3 ½ just to get him socialized with other kids. He was nervous at first but very quickly made friends he talked about every day. They incorporated him into their sessions flawlessly. When September started, he became an excellent kid! He had new friends he now talks about every single day. The boys stop playing just to see my son walk in, some wait by the window to watch him leave, the girls love waving goodbye and telling their moms who it is.
His handwriting went from horrendous chicken scratch to legible. He knows his days, his weather, seasons, emotions, he knows the letters in his name and how to recognize it when written. He knows the structure in his classroom and applies that to home. His personality has only gotten better since attending this school!
Another big plus, there is a dome of Lysol doom around this building. You can smell it oozing out of the windows. The level of cleanliness has been unmatched in any of the other schools I’ve seen in the area!
Not every school is for every child and it isn’t always the teachers but sometimes how well the child blends in with the other children. My only gripe is it is a little pricey. $ 46.00 a day plus anything else adds up real fast. I just thank god I have family to help.
One last gripe with what the person below me wrote… The kids are trained to fall in line. Where in life are we not falling in some sort of line? Work, there is a ‘line’ to follow. School there is a ‘line’. Unless your a parent who praises your child for being carefree, unable to follow rules (which is tolerated SO highly by everyone else on this planet), you have to learn how to fall in some form of a line and structure.

My son was in this school for a year and half until we were recently asked to leave due to some aggressive behavoir. Behavoir the school did not make me aware of until it had been going on for two weeks and gave me barely anytime to work with him, a toddler, to correct it! My son is not aggressive, spent quite some time in this school thus I was very disappointed and hurt by the way they handled the situation. I honestly felt like they were pushing us out the door, maybe due to the pressure of other parents who obviously had «high» ranking within the school system. Favoritism by the administration is pretty obvious at this school. Even after he stopped the behavoir for a whole week she still INSISTED we leave! Most of the «teachers» are awesome, I will say nothing bad about those girls but I feel my sons aggression was due to a lack of stimulation and/​or attention as he didnt behave that way around other children outside of the school. It was a sad situation and I feel heart broken for my son who is a victim in all of this, but I believe everything happens for a reason. I do want to point out the school is nice and clean and makes a good attempt at applying structure and providing curriculum for the children to follow. Moderately priced.
