| - My son has been going to this school for several months both in 2015 and in 2016 - we live over seas and when we come back to Vegas he is enrolled at Creative Kids 3 days a week. I honestly have felt he is very safe there.
He likes going and doesn't complain about it at all and he would tell me (he is 5). They are doing their best and at times - yes - the teachers were a bit stressed and didn't know how to handle 6 boys running around. Some are trying their best for sure, it's stressful to be with kids all day - which is why we drop them off so we can go to work right? ;)
My boy is high energy and does need to have structure and free time to run around, which I feel is happening at his school (based on how well he sleeps at night even though he also naps there).
I like that I get to pack his lunch every day - we make it fun to do it in the morning together and I feel I am with him at school in a way.
Now some minor cons:
His teacher did leave after just 2 months so now he is in a new class with another teacher who may or may not stay - I find that to be very hard as I am trying to give him some sort of consistency but I guess you can't make a teacher stay if they can't.
They go around different classrooms all day, at 8 am is in one class then he moves to another at 9 am and then in the afternoon when there are fewer kids they all group into yet another class (and yet another teacher). This can be good in a way: new environment, new toys, different friends and so far my son hasn't complained and he adapts well - the good thing is it's always the same 3 classes and they are all next to each other.
The afternoon evening teacher I love. She talks to kids in a way you can tell she really cares (Ms. Nikki) and you can also tell the kids love her.
There's also the element of energy / karma - if you go about having fear / bad energy - the school and your experience will have that for sure - wherever you go.
My son has had very strict and pretty mean teachers in Europe where he goes full time usually and trust me - teachers here are very nice.
Now when it comes to learning - they aren't set up to learn it seems but maybe they do?
I personally feel I am responsible for what my son learns or not - I'm still his mother. So we count in the car together, we do the alphabet, he writes out his letters, I take him to the library, we read a ton of books.
Learnings should be at home and school yes you can learn a lot but I believe school should give them the desire to learn, not force them to know everything out of context.
So for our needs, which is to provide part time care while I work and the other days I home school him, this is a great school for my son.
There was an incident where a little girl got sick and had a fever and ended up very unfortunately passing, when I asked about the incident, they told me it was an accident - and not due to illness. I was concerned as my son also had a fever that week - I gave him natural remedies (peppermint tea with honey and colloidal silver and other natural things instead of tylenol so his body healed itself) but stillI would have preferred to have known the truth... which probably would have just freaked me out even more. Other than than, the Director has been uber nice, she's had to be very flexible with us - I have had to change days a lot and always she and they all have been very gracious.
I got to also meet the owner who looks very friendly and approachable in the short time I got to spend with her - not corporate at all. Looking forward to learning more about her.
Thank you!
