Old Spanish Trail School

This is an amazing place to work. The staff here is awesome. They are great with the kids. The Director is so amazing. I love working here.

My son and daughter went to school here for 2 years. I never had any issues until the end of 2016. The first instance my son came home with a massive bump on his forehead, scrapes on his face. One of the boys in his class hit him with a tricycle in the face. The boys mother was the teacher. No report was filed. I was never called. They investigated the teacher, and had her on warning. Her son and her still were at the school by the time I pulled my kids out. Then, in December I was called that I owed over 400 dollars because they were never auto charging me. I assumed it was coming out of my account weekly. They wanted their money. They got it from me. My son loved his friends. They go through teachers like crazy. I finally feel the courage to post this after moving to another state. Just be on your toes here.

My 2year oldson absolutely loves this place!!!! He gets so happy once he sees us pulling in to the parking lot!!! At first like any child that stayed home with mom would hate to go but he quickly started to enjoy going and being around other kids his age !!!! Totally recommend this daycare

Let me start of by saying the regional director the assistant director Nikki and Natasha the twos teacher is amazing! Now for the actual director Gianna Kelly... be cautious with her. She has no concern for your child's or your concerns. I have three children that were all going there (10, 7, 2 years old). I had to move my two year old to another daycare due to him getting bitten and scratched constantly. I understand when you have a toddler things are bound to happen at daycare. My concern is when I brought this to Gianna's attention about the safety and reporting and consequences of behavior it was brushed off, like it wasn't that big of a deal. Every single week he was enrolled here he had one to three ouch reports sent home EVERY WEEK! The teacher Natasha was very nurturing and made sure to give my son tlc when this happened and was VERY transparent about all of the situations, she was able to explain what happened what she was able to do about it, but when I went to the director.... Uhg let's just say it didn't matter. I have never felt so disrespected by a care giver in my life! I had to speak with her a few times about this and every single time it wasn't as big of a deal as I was making it out to be. One time I had my 7 year old in the office with me and I was holding his hand talking to her about my concerns for my 2 year old and she literally got in my face and was extremely Rude and saying we can't do anything for your child since it's not the same child that has bit him... she then proceeded to say that if you feel your child is unsafe you should remove him from the program. Responsibility and accountability was always evaded with Gianna... instead of trying to fix the problem she would say well we can't separate the kids... well then maybe we should address biting... granted kids bite because they can't speak their frustrations... so as a director of the daycare what do we do about biting!? Her response was all we can do is separate them for that day and call the parents of the child that bit... okay... well on one side that makes sense but for my child to be bitten pretty much 5 weeks or so in a row by "different" kids hm... something needs to be addressed obviously! I got to a point where I didn't even feel comfortable talking to the director anymore. She seriously does not care about anything... the way that she speaks to children is absolutely ludicrous saying "get out of my face, you are a child you don't get to ask questions" talk about emotional abuse! I have so much going on in my life that I don't need a daycare that has a five star rating, I'm supposed to trust, to have no care in the world! Honestly, I just don't get it! Thankfully the regional director got involved and it will be handled accordingly. I still don't feel comfortable having conversations with the director though! I will go to the co director or the teachers before I talk to Gianna.. this was my first time putting my children in daycare because I've been a stay at home mom for ten years. This is why I would rather stay at home with my children because of stuff like this. I just want to let everyone know my situation because I don't want you to go in there blindly. If they got rid of Gianna I would probably put my 2 year old back into the school but knowing Gianna doesn't care much about children and the concerns for occurrences like this, I can't. Also, the bulling of her own staff is sad. The way that she tries to scare the people that work for her because SHE got in trouble is beyond me. In my opinion Gianna needs to go this is no way upper management should ever act! I am completely baffled!

I personally do not send my child there. However, I did a tour there and was completely turned off as soon as I walked in. It was like someone punched me in the stomach and was telling me to leave. The person giving the tour never introduced herself, let alone acknowledge my son. She just shoved a clipped at me to fill out and walked away. She came back in a few seconds, and I could tell she was annoyed by her demeanor. There is no way I will be sending my child there.

I have had my kids here for the past 5 years. Staff is very helpful and the admin quickly tries work out any issues that arise. Kids love it.

I started taking my daughter, Chelsey, here when she was almost a year old. She is now 14 months old, and i love how they are taking her into the toddler room for only an hour a day so that she can adjust. She had a hard time leaving mommy at first, but has quickly warmed up to the wonderful teacher in the infant room and no longer cries when i have to say goodbye.They are very flexible about me packing my daughter's meals, unlike other daycares we checked out. I like how the school is located next to an urgent care, and not next to a gas station like another certain school (do you really want your child breathing in those fumes??). The director is very positive, energetic and gets involved with the kids. She really cares about them!Everyone is very friendly at Old Spanish Trail preschool. And they have goats, which are fun for the kids to watch!

I was a stay at home mom for three years because I had such a hard time trusting anyone with my girls. I am so glad I decided to put my kids in this school ! They have been so good to my girls and they've helped them break out of their shells and become more social. I am confident my oldest will be ready for kindergarten next year because of this school. Highly recommend this preschool!

Old Spanish has been amazing for our children, the staff/teachers are loving and caring, the management has been amazing and it has been a great overall experience. Highly recommend this school from babies to school age kids.

The staff at the school have been so good to my two girls I love seeing the excitement my daughter has to see her teachers they really treat my babies like family which makes me feel even more comfortable when I drop them off for the day or a few hours. I highly recommend bringing your kids here if you're looking for a daycare
