Love them!!!!

by saccafam at Citysearch

I do have to say I feel sorry for the people who are tainting the Beacon Academy's name with this negativity. I have witnessed nothing but love, and kindness by all of the staff at Beacon since my children have been attending the last 2 years. They have become more like family than a daycare/school facility. My boys love waking up and going to school which tells me that their days must be filled with love, laughter and fun. I am a mother who loves her children tremendously and the thought of someone else giving care and love to my children always scared me because I never thought it would be enough. I always thought, who would take care of and watch my children like I do? I can say without a doubt the Beacon Academy does. I can leave in the morning feeling at ease watching their smiling faces as they greet their teachers and friends. As for the few negative comments surrounding Mrs. Joan, I have never seen disrespect on any level. What I have seen is a business owner who cares very much for her staff and children. What I have witnessed is Mrs. joan becoming very much a part of my life as well as my childrens. I couldn't be more thankful for finding them.

Staff and owner are disrespectful

by FConroy at Citysearch

First off Joan is totally and utterly the most disrespectful person i have ever met. Let alone she is very fake. the fact that she may have money, she treats her non favorite staff like lower class, as if we were in the 1950's if u get my drift. Before i continue i am not a ex employee or a current employee. i would never work there even if it was the last job on earth. She cheats employees of pay, and works them like dogs. Not to mention disrespects them whether parents are around or not. If u don't want your child's ears tainted with bad language I suggest you do not send your child to this horrid facility. Now enough bashing on Joan, next on my list is staff. On frequent occasions i have come to the school, and instead of teachers being with children in the class they are at the front desk on the computer. Who is with the children??? And from what it looks like they aren't doing anything important, unless u consider facebook a priority! are you kidding me?????

In conclusion, if you want your child to experience school seeing disrespect and not learning a darn thing, please by all means enroll your child now, but if u want a safe, loving, nurturing, environment, stay far away from Beacon Academy in Sewell NJ!

• Pros: really knows how to put on a show
• Cons: teachers spend more time on the computer than with children
