  • Honestly, I have some real concerns about the environment at Young Scholars. It’s a convenient spot in the neighborhood, but every time I pick up my son, the place just feels a bit neglected. The communication regarding illnesses is practically non-existent; I only find out kids in his class are sick after he’s already come home with a fever. It feels like they are constantly understaffed, which makes me wonder how well they are actually sticking to the cleaning schedule or monitoring the kids' hygiene throughout the day. For a place that's supposed to be a 'professional institute,' it feels way more chaotic and less sanitary than it should be. I’m seriously looking into other daycare options where basic health and wellness seem like more of a priority.
