Anyone have experiences with either of these schools?

This is an old post so not sure if you're still looking for feedback, my son is enrolled in BCDS and he loves it there. His teachers are great, they work really well together and all of the kids love them and are learning at their own pace. There are children in the room writing at an advanced level (my son is 3+) and some that are just starting. There are 3 or 4 students that have speech or developmental delay, but the teachers work well and have individual action plans to work with each. My son is one of them and he loves to go to school. We found out after we enrolled that he had special needs and we weren't sure if we were going to need to switch schools but the school has been excellent in consulting their professional board and working with the principle and teachers to provide our child with everything he needs to be healthy and happy. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome really, so we can continue working and not worry about his development. If they are a normal child, there are so many enrichment activities of course to promote their love for learning and activity during the day as well. All the parents I know are happy there. Definitely worth checking out.

We've used BCDS for aftercare and summer camps and I don't love it. Having only been in nonprofit daycare centers and schools before this, there was a distinct for-profit vibe from the administration. I also didn't like the use of worksheets for K aftercare - that's not what they need after a full day of school!
