Jardin de Niños Arnold Gesell (Kínder) - 02910 Ciudad de México

Very good place and excellent academic level without the closed circuit

Well, I've had terrible references from this school They say that the children mistreat the director and the teachers are a witches and trauma to children I would never leave my son with these people, or it is so harmful to the school that there is not even a web page.

It is in a good area and is a good place to leave your children. I have also heard bad references but I tried to register my children and nothing to see there is no place without cameras and you can see your children in direct time from your cell phone

Recently there was a change of administration (a year and a half ago) and the school already had many problems but with the new administration it is even worse. 1) Mismanagement of online classes and the pandemic (at the beginning the teachers and the principal herself did not wear masks, their filters to collect notebooks / papers were deficient) In addition, there was never a meeting for parents to discuss how to carry out the classes. They never paid for zoom licenses for their teachers (they used the free one) 2) Terrible English (of the 3 teachers who touched us all had deficiencies, especially Miss Jackeline. Her children will come out saying esguitis (sweeties) esguim (swim) extraberri (strawberry) among other words, grammatical errors, poor vocabulary and no planning class, in fact the class was so badly planned that the teacher always left things in her notebook unanswered reaching the point that she did not follow her own calendar. Worst of all is that Miss Jackeline does not follow up on the activities she puts , does not accompany the children doing them, for the same reason or he lacks time or has plenty) 3) Excessive tuition increases (if you enroll your child in first for $ 2350 do not doubt that for third they pay $ 2850, there are always increases, in all schools, but doing it in a pandemic and with such a high increase is a true mention of parents) Additionally, these increases are not supported by quality improvement 4) There was never computing due to the pandemic and its equipment is obsolete. Before they had computer science and robotics but the new administration removed it. 5) A man without pedagogical training in contact with the children every day because he is the director's husband. 6) Terrible treatment from the director. Example: if you are a mommy or daddy who pays their tuition ON TIME, expect to receive unnecessary reminders of their tuition payments. They treat you as if they are doing you a favor and not as a customer. It does not lend itself to dialogue to solve problems of its poor organization. 7) They charge you for an inscription that "includes" supplies but at the mere hour they make you buy, for example, notebooks that they use to paste photocopies. They still give you terrible quality colors and materials. The thing is that if you pay about $ 5500 (they lowered it due to a pandemic for "support" to the economy because it was at $ 7500) for the registration and these "useful" you would expect them to be of quality. The downside is that they don't let you buy them outside or pay the cost of the registration without the materials. In short, for the same price one can find better options. Only the Spanish classes are worth it, however, for what they offer as a "private school" and for what they charge it is a scam and above all a very bad experience. There are public schools with the same level so I do not see the case to pay for something that is free. We decided to get our little girl out of there. Last point, in their flyers and banners they offer "Socio-emotional Education", "Art" and "Computing" and other "Workshops" but those classes in pandemic never took place. So you know, if the pandemic continues, they will continue to charge you the same tuition, without any discount, for less classes and less hours.
