Meadow Oaks Academy

This private preschool school could be a lot better in many different ways. The school itself has some older kind of charm and lovely artwork inside. The children are totally awesome to be around. The directors I have to say are very unprofessional. They think of teachers more as their friends, let them have way too much freedom, don't have a very up to date type of curriculum, talk about people even other staff behind their backs + play favorites, and they don't watch the cameras to really see what is going on. The gossip between teachers and even kitchen staff there is very bad and inappropriate. Teachers have their cell phones out half the time. A few teachers are very mean to children to the point of being verbally abusive and even mocking them. Ms. Ennis is the worst behaved of all staff there and screams at the kids all day long and handles problems very poorly. Teachers just walk out of rooms when kids are in the classroom. Staff is underpaid and barely get vacation, required childcare trainings are not provided or paid free by the school; teachers have to obtain them themselves from various sources, and no health insurance through the school is offered. It really is a internal mess and needs work. The school isn't very clean and the classrooms are small. Teachers and kids throw the kid's dirty swim towels in the hallways on the floor; no laundry baskets. Teachers have no first aid kits in the classrooms. The parking lot behind it is extremely tiny for two schools and parents have to drop kids off. Not much parent teacher interaction/communication. Lots of activities during the year at least like swim, dance, piano, and STEM. I sure hope things change for the better.

I really love this daycare for my children, they are very kind with my kids, Kayla is a very sweet lady she is so good with the kids. I am so thankful for this daycare!

I’m at the Children’s Aquarium where the children are on a field trip. One of the little boys is crying and not one of the four instructors has offered this sweet child a hug or caring response. They keep either ignoring his sadness or tell him “You’re ok!” They’re even taking pictures of him crying without caring for his feelings. This is horrible to watch. Whoever’s child this is should come into the school and see about the lack of support their child is getting.

I absolutely love the school when my daughter first came to meadow oaks she was very quiet and kept to herself and since she has been there she has blossomed social and intellectually. She has learned so much and loves coming home and sharing the details of her day and what she has learned. I also love that they breakfast and lunch that is prepared is made fresh daily. They use fresh produce, meat and hormone free milk. They truly love and care for their students health, and happiness. I am proud to say that my daughter is a student at meadow oaks academy.

My kids have been going to Meadow Oaks for five years, and they are currently now in 5th grade and kindergarten. I have been pleased with the school, and I feel they are getting a good education. I truly have loved the block system of learning that they started this past year. I feel it teaches the child on their level and it allows them to excel and move at a higher level and not hold them back if they are ready, but also allows them to move at a slower pace on subjects that they are weaker in. The staff is great, and I always feel I can approach the owner or the principal of the school if I have any concerns or issues.
