This place is not a head start and should be closed down. They failed to give my child a head start and he attended for 2 years. He is 11 now and he still struggles with the basics of reading, math, and writing. Don’t send your kids here unless you want to have a child that can’t read, write, spell, or do math. This center needs to be shut down. Fairmont has a plethora of children that attended here and they all have struggled with the basics. They failed to give my child the foundation that he needed. I trusted these people and wish I could go back and take him to another center.
AVOID THIS PLACE!
