Could not get my child out fast enough. The school is more like a daycare, there was nothing of substance that was taught. Many of the children were disruptive and had behavioral issues that distracted the class. Several teachers left after a few months, staff turnover is high leading to disruption and inconsistency with the students. My child is happier in their new school. I don't see Sycamore Chino lasting very long. Low enrollment shows that. Close Quote
