I have recently been looking for preschools for my son and was told about the Academy of Knowledge by a friend of mine and decided to check it out. Upon arriving to at the school i observed a few children left on the playgroung unattended but i didnt really think anything of it maybe they were being punished. As i walk into the school i see at least three teachers at the front conversing and thought to myself "shouldnt they be in class" seeing as it was well past nine a.m and class seemed to be in session. I was greeted by the receptionist who took a break from her business on her cell phone to greet me and she called the director Ms. Lisa Brown. This woman was one of the most rude obnoxious people i have ever met in my life. She walked me around and i observed that most of the classrooms were very understaffed (about teacher for 20 something 3yr olds). She talks to her employees with no respect at all and the staff seems more concerned with gossip than teaching.I spoke with a couple of the teachers and even they didnt have anything good to say about the school or the director. Asi was leaving i saw an older woman i believe to be a teacher outside crying when i asked if she was ok she said " i cant wait to leave this job you just dont understand". That was enough for me to pack my child up and run for the hills i will not be returning to the academy of knowledge and if education is your focus i would advise you not to send your children there either.
