The absolute worst. Poor teaching, unprofessional, poor communication. They will promise you the world and definitely NOT deliver. They promised us they would teach our daughter, evaluate her for any disabilities she might have, and work to treat and correct her behaviors. They have done NOTHING. She has been in this program for three years and hasn't learned a thing. The only thing they do at this facility is paint. Sometimes crafts, but mostly just paint. My older daughter learned more in nine months of DAY CARE than my younger daughter learned in THREE YEARS of Head Start. By the time we figured out exactly HOW LITTLE this place was actually doing with my child, we were unable to transfer, as all the DECENT programs have a waiting list. This place is pathetic and a total waist of time.
