They do have one English speaking teacher in the infant room that I’ve noticed only in mornings but it made me question how they get circle time, reading , math and other things done with my infant if the teachers didn’t know English. My other son who’s in VPK attended for only 3 weeks and had trouble adjusting/ transitioning and he seemed to always have a write up everyday to where I felt they wrote him up to just have a reason to kick him out . He was about to start speech and occupational therapy the following week but Mrs Amanda had a talk with mom in a meeting to where Mrs Amanda said it would be his last week so yes , he got kicked out ( mom had to let him stay home the rest of the week , we weren’t going to let him finish the week and end up having to get him an hour later due to “ behavior “ ) . We got a warning about him being kicked out if he didn’t improve since it wouldn’t be a “ good fit “ for him . The daycare called mom to pick him up by 8am ( she dropped them off by 6:45) and no exceptions since my son was causing a disturbance and crying so she had to leave a job she just started & we withdrawal our infant because in our eyes if one son isn’t excepted then we weren’t going to have his brother stay . I can say they aren’t patient with kids who have trouble adjusting to change. front lady did mention my 4 year olds teacher was patient of him but he took to much attention off of the other kids and the new year was going to start and they felt he wasn’t going to be a good fit. It hurt me to see my son not accepted . The day my son had a huge outburst and we had to pick him up we noticed the cause may have been from a blue backpack we just got for him and it seemed like someone from class cut the strap off ( my son would never dare to cut his favorite bluet character items ) and when we asked staff they said the teacher stayed “he pulled it and the straps pulled off from pulling it from the hooks “ ( I tried to pull it and I couldn’t even break the strap ). So there was allot of covering up it seemed . Fast forward to today, my son has been 2 months into speech and my son has improved and talk sentences and his new school he just started he has no issues with and adjusted great without crying his eyes out unlike with this school! My son has level one autism and we explained that to his new daycare he’s in now and they assured me they are certified to work with kids with disabilities and they don’t discriminate . All my son needed was a school to understand him and believe in him. Trust your kids when they act up , kids pick up vibes more then adults can . If your kid is normal then yes , this school would be good for your kid since it’s easier for their staff to deal with kids who are up to learning level.

People at this school won't be patient with your children unless you're Hispanic. My daughter was 3 years old when she got kicked out from this school in short notice when she was having issues adjusting to the new school, teachers and classmates after she has been attending school from LA petite academy since she was 10 months old. She was having a tough time adjusting, instead of being patient with her, the teachers kept written her up until she was expelled by the assistant director, a heavy set woman I can't remember her name. We are a black family, and the school is predominantly Hispanic and white. We're absolutely believe there was some racially motivated bias for a 3 years old to get kicked out in the middle of a week for having issues adjusting to a new school. We never had any issues with our daughter's behavior before, and now she's in 2nd grade. we never receive any complaints about her. I wish I could give a negative review to these racist Hispanic, especially the 600-lbs woman assistant director...make me sick..

The owner and staff here is amazing. They gave me peace of mind leaving my daughter with them daily. Special thanks to Ms. Mary, she made my daughter's transition to ACA seamless. I also appreciate Ms. Amanda, Maria and Ms. Trice, for always being genuinely kind. Much blessings to you all. Thank you!!

Impressive teachers and friendly staff. My child enjoys going to preschool here. She has learned a lot. She sings almost constantly and I can tell she's getting a good education. The playground offers many choices and has helped her mobility. We're very happy here.
