Estimado Sr Adrián Cespedes
Agradecemos que comparta sus comentarios, ya que nos ayudan a revisar nuestros procesos. Lamentamos el inconveniente y la frustración que esta situación le generó a usted y a su hijo.
Queremos aclarar que nuestra prioridad es el bienestar y el máximo rendimiento escolar de los niños. Para lograrlo, la constancia y la puntualidad al inicio de la jornada son fundamentales, ya que las interrupciones afectan el ritmo de aprendizaje de todo el grupo.
Respecto al horario de entrada, le recordamos que este ajuste no se realizó de un día para otro; se notificó formalmente con previo aviso desde el inicio del verano, precisamente para que todas las familias pudieran planificar sus rutinas con anticipación y para mantener un control seguro de los accesos.
Nuestra directora y todo el equipo trabajamos bajo este reglamento para garantizar un ambiente ordenado y justo para todos los alumnos.

Extremely Disappointing Experience
I am extremely disappointed with the way the director of this establishment handled a recent situation involving a family member’s child. The child was effectively dismissed from the program without any prior notice or formal written notification. Instead, the family received only a brief message through chat accompanied by what appeared to be an inadequate and poorly justified explanation.
My primary concern is the director’s conduct throughout this situation. Her manner of communicating was dismissive, condescending, and highly unprofessional. A situation involving a child and a family should be handled with transparency, professionalism, empathy, and appropriate discretion. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. The way the director addressed the matter demonstrated a significant lack of tact and consideration for the family involved.
What makes this even more unfortunate is that the teachers and staff themselves have generally been kind, attentive, and professional. In my experience, the teachers often seem to be the ones stepping forward and dealing with parents while having to represent or explain decisions made by the director. They should not have to bear the burden of compensating for poor communication from the person in charge.
I am also concerned about the condition of the facility. During my visits, I have observed conditions that appear poorly maintained, which raises questions about the overall standards under which the establishment is being operated.
Additionally, during one of my visits, I observed what appeared to be young girls helping distribute food and performing tasks that looked like work. I sincerely hope they were not students or minors being required to work there. Since I cannot know their circumstances or relationship to the establishment, I intend to look into the appropriate channels to determine whether this activity should be reported and properly investigated.
I want to emphasize that my criticism is primarily directed at the director and the way she handled this situation. The teachers and staff deserve recognition for the patience, kindness, and professionalism they have shown. Unfortunately, the director’s conduct and the manner in which she chose to handle this situation have left me with serious concerns and an extremely disappointing impression of the establishment.
Price assessment: Overpriced

Le agradecemos sinceramente la confianza que depositó en nosotros al permitirnos cuidar y educar a su hijo durante estos años. Nos alegra mucho leer sus bonitas palabras hacia nuestras maestras; trabajamos muy duro en su capacitación diaria para asegurar que nuestros niños reciban la mejor educación y que ustedes, como padres, se sientan tranquilos.
Lamento profundamente que su última experiencia con una servidora, como directora, no haya sido la que esperaba y que se hayan marchado con un mal sabor de boca. Mi compromiso diario es dar todo de mí para ofrecer el mejor servicio posible a cada familia.
Queremos aclarar que la situación con el espacio se debió a un malentendido en la planeación. Teníamos contemplado por declaración de la mama que el niño ya iniciaría la escuela formal, Debido a lo que nos informa mama de que su hijo entraba a la escuela, organizamos los cupos y la distribución de los salones con base en esa información. Cuando su mama decidió de último momento que continuaría con nosotros, lamentablemente ya no contábamos con disponibilidad en el aula correspondiente debido a las normativas de capacidad que debemos respetar por la seguridad de los niños.
Le deseamos de todo corazón lo mejor a su hijo en su nueva etapa escolar. Siempre lo recordaremos con mucho cariño.
Atentamente,
Mrs Celis
Directora

El mejor lugar del mundo para cuidar de tus hijos. ❤️ Desde el primer día te hacen sentir como parte de una familia, y la tranquilidad de saber que tus hijos están en buenas manos no tiene precio. Definitivamente vale la pena el costo por el gran cuidado, cariño y atención que les brindan.
Siempre voy a estar muy agradecida. Mi hijo ha aprendido muchísimo más aquí que en cualquier otro daycare en el que haya estado, ¡y mi niña también! Se nota el amor y la dedicación que tienen por cada niño. 🥹❤️
The best place in the world to care for your children. ❤️ From day one, they make you feel like part of a family, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your children are in good hands is priceless. It is definitely worth the cost because of the amazing care, love, and attention they give to every child.
I will always be so grateful for this place. My son has learned so much more here than at any other daycare he has attended, and my daughter has too! You can truly see how much love and dedication they have for every child. 🥹❤️
