[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Communikids is going through a transition as they are expanding. This has resulted in a mess in terms of the administration handling parents requests and concerns. While the teachers of the school are great, the school lacks of a play space for kids, books are lacking or in poor condition, and the administration is unresponsive. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL.[/quote]

Yeah, we can tell you don't recommend it...from the 3 identical posts in three different CommuniKids threads that you bumped today. What happened to cause you to want to bump 3 old threads today? [/quote]

+1.  Yes, please tell us what PERSONAL ax you have to grind with Communikids?!?[/quote]

Maybe her kid is on the waitlist and she's trying to dissuade others :)[/quote]

Hi all, I am the parent who posted the negative review above. This is in response to the responses made after my post. If you are part of the Communikids administration as I suspect you are (few people use a capital K for Communi”K”ids), you should be paying more attention to the parents concerns than to this board. I understand this is a business, and for that same reason Communikids administration should listen and be receptive to their "clients’” concerns. Why now? What happened? Why should we recommend a business that is not receptive to its clients?

Since you are asking I'll explain:
- Administration is not receptive to parents concerns. In fact, there are no scheduled meeting(s) throughout the year for the administration to listen to parents concerns/ideas. To make things worse, the administration is not receptive to constructive criticism.

- Communication with the administration has worsened in the last couple of months probably due to the expansion of the school and new personnel. This is a sentiment shared and voiced by several parents. In fact, a recent survey carried out by a new family showed that the #1 parent concern was communication with the administration. It is understandable that transitory periods may lead to this; however, it has been over 6 months now and no improvements have been observed in this regard.

- School does not have a dedicated outdoor play space and most classrooms do not have windows. To be fair, parents are aware of this if they visit the school before they register their kids.

- Books in the classrooms are in poor condition and in very limited numbers.

Although I have highlighted some negative aspects of this school, to be fair, there are also positive things:
- Teachers are amazing
- Classrooms are clean and organized
- If you just care about paying your monthly fee and not getting involved at all with the school, this may be a perfect fit. Please be aware that I do not mean this in a bad way.

As per the waitlist comment, it is interesting that this board doesn’t get a lot of attention in months, but as soon as a negative comment appears someone immediately posts something in defense of the school and tries to discredit negative comments (by calling them a “personal ax”…). These comments usually come in bursts of 2-3 messages in short periods of time (1-2 days or within minutes of each other). Parents, make your own conclusions….
