Fairly friendly and helpful staff, wide selection of "adults
only" items such as toys, lubes, condoms, and Liberator
furniture. They carry lingerie and sexy shoes in a lot of
different sizes, pretty much any size lady can find
something hot to wear tonight for the club or the
bedroom. Also a wide variety of "smoking accessories"
knives, incense, candles, snarky stickers and magnets,
and t-shirts that you can't wear to work. Never very
busy, so you probably won't run into your boss or your
mother here and you can always get a staff member to
help you find what you are

Stratford Academy is an amazing school. My husband and I are both alumni and now all three of our girls are alumni as well. What is so hard to quantify about the education they received at Stratford are the intangibles - The ability and confidence to talk to their teachers, to collaborate with other students, to manage their time with the rigorous curriculum and extracurriculars and to master critical thinking, all allowed our girls to find great success in college and now in their respective careers. Stratford cares for and nurtures its students and provides an environment for them to become their

Prospective Parents Beware:
Our daughter attended Stratford Kindergarten from August 2021 to November 2021. A child told her that he would do very aggressive, violent and inappropriate things to her every day. Due to the graphic nature, we are unable to include specifics per googles review policy. We contacted the school for help in September and again in October when it continued. The Head of Preschool called our daughter into her office, scolded her and told her to stop going home and telling her mom everything. She blamed our daughter for asking the boy to play, threatened her with big

It is incredible what my kids are learning and getting to experience in preschool and lower school at Stratford Academy. There is something for everyone- from athletics to arts to STEAM, etc.. ! The teachers and faculty focus on academics as well as character growth. The school is supportive while still challenging your child to be his/her best! I highly recommend Stratford Academy!
