Turning Sun School East Lake

"Staff is good and engaging with children. I would warn working parents about TSS. "Full Time" is considered 0830-330 which does not coincide with more conventional business/work hours. They seem to have staff meetings every few weeks which they schedule at 130pm and force you to pick up your kids 2 hours earlier than normal (instead of scheduling them after 330pm). Of course you pay tuition by the month, but they certainly are not pro-rating their tuition for all the time they seem to have early pick-up or are closed for holidays/breaks. They do publish their school calendar on the parents' site, so take a look closely. The school follows the Decatur schools calendar, even though their East Lake school sits on the border of Decatur/APS (Drew) schools. If you have an older child in APS schools you'll find yourself paying for supplemental care. The school does not provide food, so packed lunches are required. They're fairly particular about how you prepare and what you prepare for lunches (no PB&Js here). I feel our child receives a good experience with pleasant staff, but I feel we pay a lot in tuition at a school with a very fluid schedule that requires working parents (like my wife and I) to spend additional funds on supplemental care to avoid taking time away from work. I'd say the school is more ideal for families where 1 parent works part-time or is stay at home and just looking for a break from the kids."

"An excellent place for children to learn, grow, and explore."
