Whiz Kidz Preschool

Whiz Kidz is a okay place to send your child. I thought long and hard about this review. We went there from September 2022-February 2023. They had a curriculum change and after Christmas, my son stopped engaging in their program. My son may be developmentally delayed and this preschool helped open our eyes to that. They did show us local resources to get him services and evaluated and we really appreciated that. We discovered that he is more likely to respond to negative attention than positive. They dismissed our child from their program because he had unsafe behavior, hitting, standing on tables, and would not participate in any activities/was disruptive. It was very strange he was motivated to complete holiday crafts, but nothing else. He seemed to think the only way to get things done was to be rewarded with candy. My rating is due to some hardship we experienced. When incidents of unsafe behavior were reported we were not allowed to speak to the owner, we were not allowed to know what was occurring before the behaviors occurred, the center used rewards to praise some children, but were not willing to use other forms of reward for specific children, the center was focused on childs behavior when it was negative but very little reinforcement for the small positive behaviors. There seemed to be a low amount of staff per classroom, my son had one teacher present in a room of 24 preschoolers. I went to pick my son up early one day and he was separated from the group with another little girl they were behind a bunch of tables and chairs while the staff was cleaning but everyone else was outside. My son is allergic to dairy and they were giving him cows milk and cheese for the first three months, I had to walk in during snack time to finally catch it and have it addressed despite telling many teachers he could not have dairy and we turned in paperwork at enrollment that demonstrated the allergy. I hope it is better there now, but my son had some special needs that they just couldnt accommodate. I offered to volunteer in the classroom and I have a level 1 fingerprint clearance and they refused to let me come help show them how to work with my son. When I asked for updated information on how my son was responding to their curriculums they dismissed him from the school. My son still asks when he can go back to Whiz kidz, its very sad, he made friends there and thought he was doing better. I hope it was a learning experience for everyone involved and the teachers got more resources in how to address toddlers behaviors.

The teachers and staff at Whiz Kidz are amazing! It is so nice as a parent to know your child is safe and happy during the day while we are working. The teachers are caring and send pictures, videos and notes throughout the day to show us what the kids are up to all day. My son begs me to pick him up last minute everyday, so that he can play with all his friends! We love Whiz Kidz and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for childcare!
