This situation in what I am about to post took place Sept of 2021. I wasn't going to post about it but i was encouraged by many moms in my community to get the word out given how many kids experience food allergies. Prior to the first day, I filled out numerous forms regarding my sons food allergies - which is normal for other schools/day cares we have attended. On the first day of school I made sure his Epipen and Benadryl were provided and only after an hour of him being there I get a call that my son was given dairy (whic... read more

I would give 0 star if I could. This is a fake Montessori school. It has no Montessori certification. Unlike other Montessori schools, kids play with toys in the afternoon instead of doing work. The classroom is full of Montessori material, but that's only for decoration. The kids have never touched some of the materials because teachers don't even know how to use them. Also, most teachers don't have certification either. The way they treat student is completely wrong. They dont comfort kids when they feel said. I feel like ... read more

This is not a school I would let my boy go back again. Talked to a person who claimed to be owner. She is more proud of how much money she made then the kids accomplishment. My boy was there for 1.5 year and I ovserve. I think there are only 1 or 2 teacher do care about the kids. The rest just want their paycheck on time.

parents be aware of the school policy. this is the most money driven school that I have seen so far. First of all， you need to pay a 800 enrollment fee for nothing EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

Which means，although you might only need afternoon care（most family do），you still need to pay both. Thirdly，that comes from their fine print，parents are not allowed to discuss the school policy or they have the right ... read more

I had a bad experience with this IMA campus for my little 2, yes I knew it's all 5-star in both Google & Yelp also I took the tour and chose it among several child care academies but got very disappointed. Too many teachers come-and-go during the time and the key point is nobody really cares the kids. Accident? All the crews are pretty consistent at - 'I don't know, ask himself'.

If you want send your little one to hell, this is where to go. I can't understand why this school still existed. My son cried everyday when he was in this school and he didn't want to go to school because nobody care about him. Many parents transfer their children to other school after they send their kids to this school and realized that they are not nice to kids. The director is so hard to work with. The price is totally not worthy. My little one got hurt very seriously one day, and nobody knows what happened. They don't e... read more
