Wonderland Chinese School

Our kids have been going to Wonderland for the last 5 years and they really love it. They particularly enjoy the warm homey environment of the preschool and afterschool care despite the fact that the school is quite large as far as chinese schools go. Also, you cannot beat the large outdoor play area which is usually non-existent in most other similar school programs. We found out that most of the turnover was due to the economic downturn. \t\n\t\nMs Linda who has been the main preschool teacher there over the years, really helped our kids learch to speak Chinese due to her patience in building the preschool foundation. \t\n\t\nSo you can judge for yourself, wonderland is having their open house this Saturday, March 27 from 10-1pm and is offering good incentives for summer program signup.

There are usually 2 groups of people who will take time to write reviews: either they have good experience or very bad ones. I am of the later. The teachers are nice but they come in shifts. There is a lack of communication among teachers and I don't see a sense of ownership or responsibility from them. The afternoon teacher usually has no idea as to what has transpired in the mornings. All these may not be the teachers fault as the director dictates the work schedule. All I have seen in the past five months are high turn over of teachers or not enough coverage in the early afternoons. Are the teachers qualify to take care of children are a total different matter. How could a teacher/director doesn't know a 102 degree temperature is a serious matter for a little one really amazes me!! Instead of isolating him, putting a ice pad on his forehand and calling his parents, they just let him run wide in the playground . Luckily no major issues arise from this incidient. As you can tell, I am not a happy camper. Hope you have better experience than me.
