Nana’s Pre-School Learning Center

My child started there when she was 17 mths old.
I will start with the pros: it’s clean, The rooms are large and organized with lots of toys and books and the playground is nice and large. The hours are good and the price is reasonable.
Now for the cons: on the 2^nd day of school, I asked how my child was and I was told by the non smiling and cold «teacher» that she is an ok kid. (really after only 2 days): after a week this same person said that she had to help glue something to the paper (I’m just happy she didn’t eat it): after a month, at 18 mths I was told by this same person that she had to help her hold scissors (umm developmentally not supposed to be able to hold scissors yet): Every day there was always a negative comment. After a month of dropping my daughter off to a non friendly greeting (I was sick in my stomach every day that I dropped her off but figured I would give it some time), I spoke to the director. They apologized and had another woman greet us in the morning and she was wonderful. She was warm and loving and made me feel like my daughter was being loved. The 3^rd teacher in the class was never consistent for whatever the reason. After 9 mths, we were told that my daughter would not be asked back for the upcoming year. They said she has emotional and behavioral issues. She is a biter, cries every day, wanted her blankie all of the time and didn’t want to do the activities sometimes. They had wanted her evaluated previously and I called the people they referred me too. Those referrals along with pediatrician, child psychiatrist, psychologist, other preschool teachers and parents all said this is normal behavior for a 2 yr old. I was also told that my daughter wouldn’t be crying for mommy after 9 mths if she felt comfortable there. Oh and on the last wk there, she was put in time out for not wanting to do an activity. They don’t know what normal developmental and behavioral stages are for a toddler. They didn’t want to be bothered. I have been told you can’t evaluate a 2 yr old for behavioral issues (it’s called the terrible two’s for a reason) I feel strongly that if she would have had 3 warm and loving teachers from the beginning, she would have been more comfortable.
I’m disappointed that I entrusted them to make sure that my daughter was loved and had fun and maybe learned a little. I’m upset that I kept her in that situation for as long as I did. We would have been long gone if it wasn’t for the one loving teacher.
Many kids may have a good experience there but it wasn’t a good one for my daughter and us.

This is the worst preschool ever. Starting from the owner who is extremely rude and she is only interested in the money and NOT for the well being of the children. The owner is always in a bad mood to talk to the parents. The teachers are not prepared at all. They don’t know how to treat children. Beware of this school. This school deserves no stars. My child is still a baby and was treated like a piece of garbage.
