  • Young Achievers is honestly a mixed bag when it comes to the health stuff. On one hand, the teachers really do care about the kids, but the building is older and you can definitely tell. The sick policy is okay—they usually call you right away if a fever pops up—but I’ve noticed the classrooms sometimes feel a bit cramped and stuffy, which just makes bugs spread like wildfire. Communication about when a kid in the class has something like hand-foot-and-mouth can be a hit or miss depending on who is at the front desk. It’s a decent community spot, but I really wish they would step up the deep cleaning and maybe get some better air filtration going in the winter months.
