"Really upset from the outcome of this day/care head start program , kids will be kids some kids are better than others , but one thing is for sure if you’re working here you must have patience for the kids , one thing that I strongly feel the staff here does not have I had to leave work numerous times to come and pick my son up because he did not want to nap , like you can’t take him outside ? In the playground waste his energy there ? Like really my 2 year old that bad ? You can’t make an adult stay in once place what makes you think you’ll be able to with a 2-5 year old . Staff not the friendliest , some more friendly than others . The pettiness of this is insane they told us we couldn’t not bring in our 2 year old tomorrow for the Valentine’s Day party they’re having . Whatever super upset hope things change"

"Awesome Day care- Pre school for kids . My granddaughter loved it . Every time we pass by she wants to go say hi to Miss Yvette & Miss Angie . They definitely prepared her for kindergarten. Most important the time she attended she never once said anything negative about the staff , she felt at home with them . My granddaughter still keeps in touch with the other kids that moved on to kinder & they all feel the same . They miss Around The World . Highly recommend."

"I worked at a.t.w. for eight years. At the time we had two schools. One was on downey ave and the other one was on new street. At downey ave we had two years to three and half. And at new street we had four year old to third grade. The elementary students would go on field trips and have bake sales. The children would look forward to coming to school to see their teacher's and play with their friends. When i started at Downey ave i was a potty training teacher. I enjoyed my time there. They than decided to move us to one school four years ago. It is on lakewood bl. A.t.w. is a great school to take your children to. The time i was their they learned so much. And we would also have our holiday events. Wr would have are truck or treat for Halloween. And Christmas programs . and we would also have our graduations in the summer. The staff was great. I would highly recommend around the world children's center"

"My son went there 2 years from when he turned 3-5 years old. Such a great environment!! I don't regret it one bit they taught him social skills (since he's an only child) to alphabet and numbers! He became prepared for kinder so fast and the staff is nothing but friendly!! I honestly rgret taking him out for the summer!! Like I said he went 2 years straight including summer and he loved it!! I wish I would have let him stay till summer was over. But I do recommend having your child here great school!!!"

"I used to go there when I was in preschool. The classes were always a lot of fun. The only thing that was bad were the kids. They would take my stuff away from me and sometimes they wouldn't give it back. They also liked to push me and would exclude me from playing with them, going to the playground, and eating at their table. As a result, I was often alone. I know that they did a lot more but I can't remember what else. The teachers never did anything about it. Whenever I would tell on them, the kids would either manipulate the story, or the teacher would tell me to "ignore them". You can't just "ignore" bullying. Parents, you don't want your children raised in an environment full of bullies, especially when your kids are so young."
