Someone here did an evaluation on my nephew. The report was full of lies and misinformation. Read your paperwork careful. They put words in his mothers mouth she did not say.
This is my third year having a child at Carteret Preschool Center. The past two years have been great and I would have giving a 5 star. This year there is a new administrator she has no compassion!Thank goodness the teachers are great. They care about the kids and you can tell it. I really wish he was in the Pre K class at Newport Elementary. June can't get her fast enough so I can be done with this school. The teachers are great but it really needs a new administrator that cares and shows it like Valerie Hernandez did. She will never fill her shoes!!
