The interview was encouraging, but when our daughter started attending it was a very negative experience. From a complete lack of security, to inattentive "teachers", rough, unsupervised kids, and being expected to leave our child with a man who was not an instructor--this place is a disaster. Very money focused, they don't seem to be concerned with the kids themselves. We've experienced both ends of the scale with daycares and dayhome, and this was the worst yet.
You interviewed with the very man you are complaining about who is a qualified ECE staff member, which is extremely sexist. I do happen to know that you were on a wait list for a program that was more convenient to your home. When a spot came available you cancelled within hours of the semester beginning. As plans can change I waived the 2 months penalty that you owed but did not refund your deposit. I compromised and you threatened legal action.

My child went to ...
My child went to Active Learning. I would go and drop them off or pick them up and it was always incredibly disorganized, loud and unstructured.
Gym time was again, unstructured so it allowed for children being left out playing alone without any teacher interaction or inclusion.
It felt like I was basically paying for substandard babysitting. I had incredibly high hopes for this school but it did not meet any expectations at all.
My child will attend another school next year.
The instructor who favoured Gym time was let go as we agree physical activity should not take precedence over academic development. Since our location move we now have a dedicated Music & Movement Studio that is used in a structured and guided fashion and is always relevant to the curriculum being instructed at that time.

My son LOVES Acti...
My son LOVES Active Learning and looks forward to it daily. He is in the beginner class and adores his teacher. All the other teachers there make an effort to know who he is and when I pop in to watch I can see that they care for the students a great deal. Everyone is very friendly and it is a warm environment.
My son has made many friends and loves his time in the gym. This program helped him learn to count, colours, shapes and French words before he was even 2 years old. Highly recommended!
Both my children have been through this programme and have had a wonderful experience. Language and music are taught really well with an emphasis on activity. My children started skating through this preschool and have done so well at school with this strong base behind them. They have shown great interest in music and their language and math skills are easily way in advance of their peer group. Try this programme out, you won't be disappointed.
My 7 year old daughter really loves going to Active Learning everyday before and after school. She loves the teachers and playing with all her friends. The school is a very great school and the teachers are very good with all the children. They take the time to listen and understand the children and their needs. My 7 year old says she love riding bus to school and going on field trips at least once a month. She cries every time I pick her up because she never wants to leave.
