Maxwell Fountain Hills BAD NEWS!

by Youknowyouwanna at Citysearch

This place is such a joke. My child attended for some time and in that time I found out that the so called curriculum they advertise is a JOKE!! it is some thing that a woman prints off of some website. At this Maxwell in Fountain Hills the "owner/director" gives the same curriculum to the teachers over and over. The teachers are then forced to figure out new ways to do the same thing week after week. As for the Presidents song and State song they are so PROUD of...it is a good tune so the kids pick it up, but if you were to ask the kids how to spell their names or what the letters of the alphabet are, they cant tell you.

I have also learned the if my child has a bad day, the "owner/director" has instructed the teachers not to tell the parents ANYTHING! They are to say that the children have had a good day and nothing else.

I would never want a teacher to lie to me about how my child is doing. I want to know if my child is sad, or angry or having a good day, I just want to know the TRUTH!

Think about where you children are spending most of their time, there are other preschools in Fountain Hills that have GREAT staff and REAL curriculum. Check them out before making a decision!

• Cons: The "owner" or whatever she is.

LOVE Maxwell in Fountain Hills

by Wobniar44 at Citysearch

My daughter has been going to Maxwell since they just began, about 3 and a half years ago, and I have never once thought to change schools. The teachers are awesome they really love the kids. Most of the teachers have been there since we have been there, even longer, no teenager turn over rate - summer job thing, they love what they do. My daughter is so smart, she starts talking about things that I didn't even knew she learned, and when she was three - she sang all 43 presidents! I couldn't do that when I was that age. They have great structure, washing hands throughout the day, naptime, reading time, playtime - not just hang out all day. Since the over three years that my daughter has been going, my daughter has rarely been sick, they constantly clean throughout the day. All in all, I would recommend Maxwell to anyone!

• Pros: Great teachers, Great program, fun, social atmosphere
• Cons: There aren't any.
