Both P and VP are terrible. Staff is amazing, it’s unfortunate they have such pathetic admin representing the school.

This is a terrible school. They have no intervention between students being bullied. When a student does come forward with a report they end up being punished for coming forward

I registered my daughter for the Toddler program at the new Oshawa McLaughlin location and they processed my credit card for $250. Few issues that have happened along the way but I'll focus on the main one. A few days before she was suppose to start but would have because there was a delay in them getting their licensing I sent an email to ask who would be her teacher and how many other kids in her class. They responded that she will actually be put into the Junior class room (kids aged 2.5 to 4 years old). I called them right away to see why anybody had advised me prior. I was to show up the day of and find out she would be with older kids. It's just the fact of older kids but it is the teacher student ratio. In the toddler room they have 1:5 ratio. In the Junior room they have a 1:8 ratio. Now my daughter would be with a lot more small kids tougher than her and she would have less help from a teacher. I did feel comfortable with that. They were also going to change the fee that I had to pay. I was still going to have to pay the higher toddler rate even though the teacher ratio was lower. The other kids in the Junior room would be paying less in the exact same class with the exact same attention. This made sense to me. I explained that my husband and I feel comfortable and we would be pulling her from CAS until there was a separate toddler room available for her. I asked for my $200 ($50 was a refundable fee) refund back and have been told "In consultation with my executive director, refund will be issued " I find the school to be very professional. They did have the correct class for my daughter and I am not being punished. Poor ethics on SKD's part. If you provide the classroom, you should not refund their money.

I have been at this school for 9 years, some better than others but over all terrible do NOT sign your kid up to go here it is so bad , Terrible supervision, rude teachers. I have experienced some of this first hand such as, kids getting beat up, them getting bullied, overall being terrible and the teachers did nothing. keep in mind though I had 2 great teachers, my grade 7 and my grade 4 teachers are amazing.

Pros: -School yard for recess is HUGE -Gymnasium is great -Library is great -Lots of cool events during the year Cons: -learning can be questionable if you get certain teachers -Lots of unnecessary rules on the school yard -School tends to overprice certain things during events (Pricing books 2x the normal price during the book fair) Cant really think of anything else that would apply to every student. With my experiences, I always got in trouble for unnecessary reasons and things that I never did. Certain staff tend to assume a lot of things after you spend time at the school (both good and bad ways). Most staff that didn't give a hard time to me and my fellow classmates seemed to all leave, or have been fired. The only reason why I'm giving this school 2 stars instead of 1 is because or my experiences with my classmates. OVERALL THOUGHTS: -Certain staff can make it hard for your kid/kids. -Staff tend to be soft; give you a hard time for little things, assume things about your kids. I would not recommend this school unless you HAVE to attend it. just another reminder that this is 2 stars instead of 1 because of the friends I made at this school.

I was in this school once, someone was chewing gum in class and the teacher grabbed the students head and slammed it into the desk breaking the desk in half and then did fortnite dances, take the L specifically

Staff has a tendency to get students in trouble 24/7. From my experiences, I was accused for a lot of things by both students AND teachers. I would not recommend this school unless you want your kids to get in trouble for doing absolutely nothing.

This is a terrible school. They have no intervention between students being bullied. When a student does come forward with a report they end up being punished for coming forward .The one bullying gets no repruccsuon at all. I wish there was another school in the area that she could go to but there is not . This school has destroyed my daughter's love of school and I can only hope it hasn't destroyed it for her entire life. Do not send your child here if you can avoid it!
