I have recently discovered that you guys got rid of the maintenance crew, and I am extremely disappointed by this. I have been at Phoenix.for 12 years. I have always raved about it and I am not sure about these changes. This takes time away from other staff from other things that they should be doing. Plus it takes much longer to get things fixed or cleaned up. I truly find it Unacceptable. I had just recommended the school to a friend and now I am embarrassed after hearing that. I truly believe that there should be a maintenance staff all location during school hours 100%. Plus they helped as security as well.

More stability in cost, or at least better communication, we've had multiple changes in how we are billed yearly fees in the time we've been with the school leading to unexpected expenses. Changing the tuition sheet and expecting us to decipher which charges apply to our specific situation is never fun. We also just had rodent spraying at our school and there were many dead cockroaches on the floor around the play area and also in my son's classroom, my son is 2 and I don't want him possibly touching the dead cockroaches because he's curious. I would appreciate if you guys have maintenance sweep for dead bugs after spraying pesticides the precious day before we're dropping our children off there. I did mention this to the front desk today and they said they would work on it.
