Scottdale Early Learning, Inc.

We’ve had such a positive experience with SEL from the moment we walked through the doors, we could feel how caring and dedicated the staff are. The teachers create a warm, nurturing environment where every child feels safe, valued, and excited to learn. My daughter has grown so much in confidence, creativity, and social skills from here. We’re so grateful to have found SEL at Warren Ave.

I’m very pleased with the Grandparents breakfast this morning. The staff greeted each of the children by name. The infant room staff made me welcome and I noticed how much love and patience is given to each baby. Each staff person I met was professional and very friendly. The director was supportive and dedicated to making the grandparents welcome with her courtesy to everyone that entered. The breakfast was hot and delicious. I really enjoyed being there.

Expectations broken!!!My daughter never been school before. This was her first time. No camara in classroom. A lot of high standards for pre-k. Was called daily to get my daughter for crying and spitting on floor while crying. Daughter was left in restroom upon calling me to pick her up hysterical crying while sitting on toilet it like the teacher didn’t give a dam. Who leaves a 4 year old crying on toilet? The teachers aren’t qualified for emotional support. Just had her sitting on toilet til I came. That was very heartbreaking for me and at that point I was done. I asked them doing orientation, are they able to deal with kids never been school. The response, “yes we see it all time” well. She only made it one full day and I was expecting to get feedback instead the Spanish teacher, say she did okay.Some morning her energy was not towards me no greeting or eye contact.I ask can you tell me what I need to work on. She then say oh she did this she did that. Nothing positive. I had high hopes for this center. My daughter use to cry before arrival daily saying she didn’t like it. She has speech delay. This center gave me one option to refer her to a school for special needs kids. What a slap in face. Instead helping with solutions to help with separation anxiety, my daughter was just on a hanger and labeled. Her very last day didn’t help because she seen a big roach. So that had me puzzled as well to the cleaning of the center, since the requirements are so high. Parents do your research. What seems well might not be as well. It seems they are just hiring zombies. My daughter is happy at her new pre-k center. No issues, no crying, no issues to what was “so called documented at Scottdale center. The funding for Scottdale center needs to go to properly training staff. Not to mention I was on waiting list for 3 years. Pre-k lottery she wasn’t picked I was on waiting list and a spot became available. The red flags was there. I just ignored them. My daughter is in speech therapy and is thriving. Her 5 sentence words where slurred. It makes me smile to realize my daughter feeling where met by her parents and supporting outside facilities.The love and support is there. Do your research. If it don’t feel right it not right.

Scottdale has truly been a family to myself and my two children the love and support and the excellent teachers and staff go above and beyond the call of duty to make sure your child is love Safe and have the best education possible I don't know what I would do without Scottdale and a special thanks to Ms.Morgan she is hands down the best she always makes sure everyone is safe loved and feel important no matter what she is very hands on I truly love her and she is so selfless and loving and no matter what she is there she makes scottdale a pleasant wonderful place to come everyday and we love her !!!

Scottdale has been a blessing to me and my family. I have been in the Scottdale family for going on 8 years now and I couldn’t be any happier with my decision. Having two children (one that still attends). They are more like family. They are ALWAYS there when I need them even if it’s not related to my children . Mrs. Gibson the CEO is always available to talk to you . Her Door stays open at all times (unless she is is a meeting or something lol ) she knows her parents and students very well . Mrs. Mason always has a wonderful spirit when you see her, Mrs. T is wonderful with communication and being a breath of fresh air at the front desk . Jazz is always so professional and quick to answer questions and if she does not know the answer to find out the answer . The Teachers are PHENOMENAL and I mean that . Every teacher speaks even if your child is not in their class, and the food that Ms. Jones cooks is always so good. (I have tasted my self😊) . The building is always clean thanks to Mr. Dexter.. Thank you Scottdale For your service in the community.
