I have used this provider for more than 6 months

This is my sister in laws review regarding my nephew.

I know there are many parents that could disagree with me, but if I could give this school zero stars I would. My son started at this school in 2016 at 15 months old. At the beginning they were outstanding with him. He was with Mrs. Terjiana and he loved her. He enjoyed going to school. The next year he went full time again and we were told that our son was too "hyper" for Miss Juliette's class and had to stay in the baby class. We were ok with this because he was in class with Miss Melissa and she is a wonderful teacher. Finally, at three he was able to go into Miss Juliette's class but only went two times a week and we did not have any problems. He has been at the school for four years and in his LAST year there, our son has been extremely mistreated multiple times.
1. He was forced to take a nap at the age of 4, and then got in trouble because he could not nap. My son stopped napping at 2 ½. He was placed in a room by himself while the other children watched a movie because he could not fall asleep. He was told multiple times that he was “fooling around.” He was told to put the covers over his head because he could not fall asleep. He had to sit out of outside time because he could not fall asleep. When confronted about the situation and asked if he could not nap, I was ignored and no one respected the fact that my husband and I no longer wanted him napping. Meanwhile we were paying them $600 a month, and half of the time they watched him lay there. I was told that he needed to lay still and “rest his body.” Does anyone know a four year old that would LAY STILL for TWO hours and not move?
2. During picture day this year we sent him to school in what we wanted him to wear, we pay for the pictures and these are personal photos. We got a call saying that we needed to turn around and bring him clothes by 11 am because he was not dressed properly for picture day. My husband kindly explained that he was in what we wanted him in. Miss Juliette and Mr. Tim continued to humiliate him and tell the photo people that he was “not dressed properly.”
3. We have been told multiple times by his VPK teacher that “he is too smart for what we are doing and he is bored with the curriculum,” but yet they never did anything to challenge him and allowed him to keep getting into trouble, then sent him into the “baby room.” All to humiliate him. As a teacher, you are supposed to meet the needs of all children.
4. Miss Juliette had the nerve to point her finger in my face and tell me that I was the reason my son acts the way he does, and that he does not listen, and that he is a liar. As well as, Mr Tim telling me that. When I told them I was not coming back they responded with, “good,” and “I’m sure it will be better somewhere else.” Meanwhile I am nine months pregnant and as a teacher a parent should never be treated the way they treated me and talked to me. My parenting and my career as a teacher was questioned.
5. When my son finally had the chance to go into the older class and not nap, after MONTHS of asking if he did not have to nap, he continued to get sent into nap time as a punishment. He was the only five year old at the school who had to nap.
This was his final year at this school and we were so excited for him to finally be in Miss Fiona’s class which he has longed for since he knew what that class was, and now unfortunately my child will not get the chance to walk for his VPK graduation because of the way Miss Juliette and Mr. Tim have treated my child. He is not perfect by all means, but he is a kid and they singled him out and humiliated him. If your child does not fit the “perfect” mold please do yourself a favor and do not send them to this school because they will treat them unfairly and they will come home every day with a sad face saying that they are a “bad kid.”
