Agree with the earlier review to keep your money far away from this place. The owner took advantage of all the families when COVID hit. She kept all of our tuition, yet shut down the childcare facility. She required we pay March, April, May, June and provided NO CHILDCARE. She didn't follow through on her portion of the contract, yet still kept our money. Even when she did reopen the school in May, she mandated that parents sign a new contract with shortened hours of operation (that didn't work for my family with 2 working parents). Even then she still kept all the money we had paid under the initial contract. The owner tells a big story about IMA being \one big family\ but when it comes down to it she's all about money. Even to the point where she's willing to take advantage of the families that trusted in her.

My two children attended IMA from the toddler program through the Chinese Immersion program, including summer camps. I like that organic lunches are included, there's PE, extended care until 6 pm. Optional extracurricular activities are seasonally offered. When my attached child has a hard time getting into class, he's treated with empathy and recovers quickly. I'm proud of how the teachers and faculty at IMA have helped me raise my kids. I wish foreign language was offered during summer camp. Note that tuition is nonrefundable. My emphasis of education for my kids are on improving language skills, practicing life skills, developing self confidence/reliance and empathy towards others. Success at this school helped them set a solid foundation for the next stages of elementary school. [Updated] The playground structure renovated 2019.

This is a wonderful school. The teachers in my child's classroom have taught her so much. I don't worry when I drop her off because I know she's in great hands. My mother in law is impressed with how much her Mandarin has improved in just a few months. If you're interested in your child learning or improving on a second language, this is a great place for your child.

Do your homework, read the reviews, read the contract a few extra times, then keep your money far away from this woman and her weak masquerade as a \private school.\ Ex employees have nothing good to say, and former families are happy to talk about being burned financially.

My son attended IMA in the Spanish and Kindergarten classrooms for 1.5 years between 2014 and 2015. They have a nice Montessori program with all of the benefits you'd expect in addition to the language immersion which is fantastic. My son speaks Spanish very well now with a good accent and is reading well at the Kindergarten level in both English and Spanish. I believe the teachers care about the kids and we've been very happy with his academic progression and he is very much ready for 1st grade this fall. There is also a hot lunch program which has given him exposure to different types of foods and really expanded his palette. Management is very responsive to emails and have been willing to listen and work with me when issues have come up. The only neutral thing is that the school hasn't implemented some of the things that make life easier on the parents (i.e. electronic sign in from your mobile devices at drop-off/pick-up and automatic payments).
