"One-of-a-kind education and family experience. Teachers are incredible and have all become family."

"Very bad experience in the preschool program. I registered my daughter since May, she was going to turn barely 3 at the end of August but they told me that she was fine to enter to the preschool program. They said if she had been born for September I would not have been able to accept her All summer we waited for the beginning of classes and finally the program began on August 9th. My daughter's teacher had an accident and she did not show up for the first two days, which is understandable. At the end of the first day the teachers did not ask for identification to the people who picked up the children, I sent the teacher an email and the next day they were asking for an Id at pick up time. On Monday when the teacher showed up, my husband went to pick up my daughter and they did not ask him for identification again. Other parents mentioned that they were not asked for an Id as well. On Tuesday I went personally to pick up my daughter and the teacher told me while I was waiting to signher out, in front of all the parents: Your daughter is immature socially and emotionally, I do not think she is ready for preschool. First of all Where is the confidentiality code? The confidentiality of my daughter was not respected, While I was on line to sign her out, I noticed that the teacher asked a person, if she was in the girl's contacts, and this person said yes, and gave it to that person without asking for identification. The sign-in sheets were a mess. The parents do not know where to sign and the signatures are all wrong. My daughter was signed out because my mother-in-law signed in the wrong spot the day before and was never corrected it. I stayed at the end of the day to talk to the teacher, she told me that my daughter was very young and that she did not have independence, she did not know how they accepted me in school, she told me that my daughter was crying in each transition and she told me that She did not think she is ready for a place like St. Agnes Preschool, she told me that The preschool program was like a kindergarten, that she teach lesson on the blackboard and that the children go to the tables to do the lesson themselves. I enrolled my daughter hoping she would get prepared for Kindergarten, it seemed to me that she judged my daughter in a very short time, how do you expect a 3 year old to be completely independent and participate from in large group activitie since day one? That is not right. In the aftercare they send children 3 to 5 year old ALONE to the bathrooms that are outside the room, without supervision of any adult, I can make a list of accidents that can happen to a child of 3 years old, simply stumble and hitting his head , falling in the bathroom (since they are adult size) etc. My daughter told me with her few words that the teacher had squeezed her arm, I did not wanted to accuse the teacher directly, I went and asked the teacher and she told me that it was Tony (one of the children in the room, again Where do you leave confidentiality? of the students) The truth after the whole experience I believe my daughter, who knows how they were treating her? Finally I decided to unenrolled her, I asked the return the school supplies that I brought from day one ($ 140 dollars of school supplies) and I had bought all of the brands that they ordered as lysol etc, and they returned everything from cheap brands like great value Also, they did not return everything to me, they gave me back 8 crayons when I gave them two packages of 8, they returned 8 markers when I gave them two packages of eight, they returned me four bars of glue sticks, when I gave them two packages of 3 jumbo bars and they didn't give me back a tote bag of my daughter's where I sent Her blankets and sheets. All the experience was really disappointing. Hopefully they corrected the mistakes and i hope the director put more attention to her preschool program, creating a safe environment for the children, and better training for their staff."

"In went to this school for three years. Not going to lie, I loved the teachers, but they didn’t teach me what I needed to be taught at 4th grade. The only thing students cared about was money, fame, boys, being better than anyone else."

"Me As a parent of my child that attends this school i would defenently recommend this school the teachers are awesome as well as the principal, and the staff in the office too. Plus this school teaches good values my daughter loves this school as well as i do as a parent. Amazing School."

"My son attends preschool at St. Agnes. It has been a great experience for him and for us. I don't think we could have made a better choice. Looking forward to his next 9 years here."
