So this is my friends actual account from this school from her words "I went to school here in 2007 and there was a teacher named ms Lona and she was my absolute favorite she was the only colored teacher at the time and she meant the world to me the principal had a daughter that was a complete troll and bullied me all the time and the one teacher that stood up for me and loved me with out a doubt was named Mrs Lona and she was fired for standing up for me and my sister and she deserves love and that school deserves to be put in the ground for what they did they were not a perfect school and they did not care for me when they should have they did not love me bc I was different and they fired the only teacher that cared while the principal alluded her daughter to hate and bullied others and criticize others bc they where different

Sandman Academy fits the needs of all three of my kids. Whether it be before and after care, summer day care, or covering for random days off of school. Sandman is a tight-knit daycare, family owned and operated. Mr. Curt is kind, friendly, and helpful. Ms. Summer is his daughter and she is so kind and friendly. Ms. Shantell puts her heart and soul into her VPKers. All in all, I’ve NEVER had an issue with the daycare and my kids love it and come home happy and with smiles on their faces. Sandman is not a traditional facility, it’s in a house that’s been converted, and I like that for my kids. 5/5 I recommend. It’s not for everyone, it’s definitely for my family. THANK YOU, SANDMAN! You’ve been a lifesaver.

Horrible communication. A horrible daycare all together. Do yourself a problem and avoid this "daycare" . They'd take care about your kids what's so ever . They shove the kids out as quickly as they come . No updates on your child , not even when you ask lol

Worst school super sad they care about money more than children. üò≥ Owners are selling it soon don't even want to be there. Do not put your kid here if you care about their learning and development.

I have been charge for being 8 min late not even a brake or I quote are you ok is everything OK üôÉ nothing it's straight-up you have to pay a late charge that that I understand it's a business but the way you conduct your business and the way you treat people has to go in sync with what you say and that is off 100 %. I'm good rather not have fake people around my child if I pay for this day care yes DAY CARE not A real school then I should be able to bring my child when I can and it's convenient to me just saying don't tell me I can't bring my child at a certain time my schedule is also different all the time it's not like a day care with a fix schedule ü§î what happen to the real day cares what happen ?? When they work together with parent's.
