Look Who’s Learning Pre-School

This school was all of my prayers answered. As soon as I went in to take a look around I felt like I had known the teachers forever. Everyone was so warm and inviting, letting me poke around every single room! They have the most adorable bathrooms, that are themed, and every room is packed with books, toys, and artwork. Everything was explained to me, to the point where I almost didn’t have any questions to ask. They are on it! The teacher we have currently is amazing. She always takes the time to have a chat with me about how the day went, and the connection she has with the kids is so obvious. If you want your child to be in a family environment, with people who actually care, Look Who’s Learning is the place to go!

My son has been attending Look Who’s Learning for over a year now. I couldn’t be more happy. They even potty trained him at no additional cost. The neighborhood is safe and I feel comfortable leaving him
there every morning. His teacher is so caring and so nice. She teaches the children how to be respectful to each other and you can tell she enjoys being there. The facility is very clean and they have a strict daily schedule. He also comes home with a learning packet for the day and different arts and crafts he worked on. I would recommend them to anyone interested.

My how things can change in a year.
This place began declining in the past ⁶⁄₇ months when our daughter’s teacher at the time started complaining regularly about her behavior, i.e. her inability to sit still and being defiant (well imagine that in a 2 ½ year old!) — but was offering no solutions. We guided her by explaining what we did at home, and she in turn began placing our daughter in time outs «all day long» which can’t be uplifting nor constructive at all for a child. She clearly had no experience working with a challenging personality and seemed lost, and didn’t really care. I got the sense that she would’ve been happy if we had taken our daughter out of the program, because she certainly wasn’t forthcoming with any ideas on how to address our daughter’s perceived «issues».
We were very close to removing our daughter from the school, but then we met the 3 year old teacher and we loved her immediately. She was pleasant, knowledgable and passionate about our child being successful. She told us that she was reading books on how to work with «spirited» children so that she would be well equipped to work with our daughter when she entered her class. We were relieved and thankful. We didn’t want to uproot our daughter and change her whole routine.
When our daughter entered her class in September last year, there was an immediate and marked difference in her behavior and skill development. She was more cheerful about going to school. Her tracing and «drawing» abilities blossomed. When we picked her up in the afternoons, the teacher would give us an update on the day and it wasn’t Negative Nelly every single time. Of course if something did go wrong, she would tells us, but she always did it in a loving, solution-​oriented way — not like she was reading down a laundry list of issues and offering no insight on improvement. Her personality, child development knowledge and willingness to collaborate with us on our daughter’s progress was VASTLY better than the experience with the previous teacher.
And the owner of the preschool fired her last Monday, just like that. No warning whatsoever to the parents. The owner (who may as well be the Wizard of Oz because she was never, ever seen at the school except to collect checks that she cashed when she felt like it) showed up in her classroom while she was away taking lunch, solicited the help of another teacher to pack her belongings, and gave her an ultimatum to quit when she returned from lunch.
And then she called the police. To a preschool. On a preschool teacher.
My husband called the school the next morning to get answers on what happened, and was flat out lied to by the teacher who served as accomplice to the sabotage. She said that our daughter’s teacher had quit by her own free will, and that the owner would be issuing a statement about it. He asked her why the police were called if she willingly quit.
No answer.
My heart is broken for the teacher. My heart is broken for my daughter and her former classmates, too, who did not get to say a proper goodbye to the person who had been their daily caregiver for the past several months (years). This decision was undoubtedly made based on a selfish and vindictive agenda, not a smart business choice, or even a human choice. What kind of person does this to a group of 3 year olds? Transitions are so hard for children, and a buffer of some sort for a change this big needs to be there to ease the blow.
We withdrew our daughter the same day and have since enrolled her elsewhere. Our child will not be attending a school where the police are summoned.
I recommend you don’t send yours there either.

Look Who’s Learning Preschool is a great school. The school is located in a very quiet and safe neighborhood with hardly any foot and vehicle traffic. The playground is gated and chained to ensure the children do not leave the area. The playground is filled with sand, bikes, and other activities for the children to play with. The sanded area is surrounding by a concrete walkway but is always swept clean by the teachers to avoid the children from slipping and falling. The classrooms are bright with children’s artwork and decorations and filled with lots of activities for the children such as toys, books, crafts, and dress up clothes. Snacks are provided during the day and afternoon after nap time. Lunch is to be provided by the child. The teachers are very friendly and caring towards the children. The teachers also help with potty training. Ms. Alice, the Director, has been working in preschools for over 25 years so she has a lot of experience in the field. All of my nieces, nephews, and cousins have attended this school with no complaints. If you are a parent looking to send your child to a school, I recommend Look Who’s Learning Preschool.

Look Who’s Learning is GREAT! The Staff is caring and understanding. My son has been attending for 2 years and has grown so much since starting here. My thanks to all of the staff for helping us through potty training which I don’t even want to think about how much worse it would’ve been without their help. I’m going to miss this place come August when my son starts Kindergarten but it was well worth the nominal tuition they charge. Miss Alice, Miss Leticia, and Miss Herlinda you will be missed!
