I am a previous employee of Esperanza who worked there for 8 years. I started out with the school @ their location on Lovett then transitioned over to the Heights. I can not say enough GREAT things about this school. It may not be the ideal place for most employees because of pay and benefits however, I believe every child who attends Esperanza is getting Excellent care and education. The curriculum is awesome and followed, unlike other schools I've worked for. It's a fun loving school and the teachers and staff's main focus is to make sure every child's daily experience is the absolute best. They DO follow the minimum standards rules and policy. It's been a few years since I worked there, but if a child is dropped off before 8 am they are allowed to have a dry breakfast. From 8-9 they have playtime outside so therefore the review before mine is VERY inaccurate. What I find sad and appalling is that not that you badger Esperanza with lies, but that as a parent if ANY of these things are true to you in your mind than you should be ashamed of yourself for keeping your child in that school and environment. Which brings me to believe that you are a scorned parent that didn't get your way in some form or fashion. You slam and look down at this school with all your accusation however, what sort of parent are you for not wanting, expecting the best for your son. If any of these things were true and you were a good parent you would and should have pulled him out IMMEDITALTY. There are other pre-schools in the heights. However, as you well know they can not compare to the level of excellence as Esperanza. They go above and beyond what any other school offers. I also worked their Rainbow Kids Club for the first 4 years of my employment there...another GREAT aspect of what this school offers. I could go on and on about the great quality of this school.
Pros: Communication, Curriculum, Caring and well trained Staff.
Cons: None for children and parents.
