” ! I should have taken all of these reviews about these two names into consideration before enrolling my son in this horrible place! We trusted this school to handle a very sensitive situation regarding our child and another student. Because of their negligence, they promised us that they would conduct an investigation and let us know the results. However, no one contacted us again or replied to our emails. They decided to move forward without informing us of the results, so what happened now should have been expected. On the first day of school, my son told me he was transferred to another class. Since I was still at the school, I had to ask, especially since they didn’t use their email to inform me. This did not please the person in charge of the pre-school , and the one who opened the door. She refused to talk to me, and both tried to escape and they was not honest. She advised me to send her an email to ask about my son! It would have been easier to answer my question while I was standing in front of her. They clearly don’t know what happens inside the classrooms; no one has a true answer and they are just trying to hide something. After I asked about the reason for her strange behavior, she asked me not to send my child if I was not comfortable. After I left, the director immediately sent an email accusing me of threatening and disrespecting them, claiming that’s why she separated my son! They should have trained their staff not to evade and at least to be honest , so they can protect their feelings and the parents too. They only listened to their side, judged my reaction, and overlooked their actions. After talking to the director, she had completely different answers. So, we asked to see the video that proves what they said, and of course, they refused. It’s incredibly frustrating to feel like you’re notn being heard as a parent, especially when it comes to your child’s well-being. The lack of communication and transparency from the school is unacceptable. It’s clear that they are more concerned about their reputation than actually addressing the issues at hand. This kind of behavior creates a toxic environment not just for the students but for the parents as well. They have very good laws that they can use against you at any time. Now it seems clear why they have problems with all the parents in these reviews: they listen to one side and make decisions based on their mood on that day. Advice: You should focus on developing the staff rather than the facilities. It’s disappointing to see that my concerns were not taken seriously, and instead, I was met with hostility. I feel like I wasted $477, they refused to return it :) !! They took what they did not deserve.. “
” LAMA is fantastic! It was the best decision we ever made. The preschool program was an essential step to prepare her for kindergarten. The office staff and teachers are wonderful and truly care about your child. I cannot thank them enough for taking care of our child! “
” LAMA has been life changing for our son. He has thrived at LAMA and found his voice and confidence. Ms. Kristina & Ms. Danielle have been instrumental in his growth. Ensuring that his needs are met, his questions are answered and his progress is continuously being monitored. We love the renovations in all the classrooms and were blown away at how well they were managed. The students were never impacted and the program ran with ease despite the work happening around them. We are so grateful for the community they have built and continue to build. The staff is amazing, patient and goes above and beyond. We cannot recommend them enough and will forever be grateful for our time at LAMA!!! Thank you to our second family!!! “
” LAMA is a great template for how all elementary schools should operate. It provides small group classes and additional 1 on 1 sessions for those who need the extra help and attention. There is also a focus on mental math which a lot of students lack nowadays. School is beyond academics, there is also learning needed in social aspects and this school understands that. The school does a fantastic job allowing students to explore and discover what they like and what social setting suits them best. “
