Oconee Preschool Academy, Inc., II

My Pre K student learned so much at this school; not just academics but social skills. Mrs Donna & her assistant teacher are very loving & playful with their students while having structure and rules. My Pre K student loves & respects her teachers. They lead through positive reinforcement like "Donna dollars" and prize boxes for behaviors like kindness, manners & task independence (putting on a jacket solo).Teachers & directors were always available in person, email or phone for concerns. The pick up & drop off line are very convenient for parents with multiples, and it gets PreK students ready for Kindergarden ‐ and isn't that the point. Also, as a parent with a picky eater, no outside school lunches nudged her to try new foods - there was always something she liked to eat at each meal. I would recommend this school to others!

We were thrilled when our daughter was selected through the lottery to join this school and eagerly completed all the necessary paperwork. At orientation, we had some reservations about the strict rules, such as not being allowed to walk our child inside and the prohibition on packed lunches from home. However, the real issue arose during the meet-the-teacher afternoon. Neither my wife nor my daughter was acknowledged by any staff. Our daughter was the only student without her paperwork, despite us submitting it early. The student teacher was extremely rude, and the main teacher struggled to maintain eye contact and was slurring her words. The whole experience left us with a very bad feeling about the school. We've decided to pull our child out and enroll her in a local private school instead. This is a real disappointment, especially since we have two more children to consider. I know going to a non lottery school is not an option for a lot of people but if possible try.

We love OPA 2! From infant care to after school care, they are the best.

Very clean
