I am in the process of pulling our son out of this school. Thankfully his teachers have been wonderful but, our issues are with other teachers and the way the center handles conflicts. I had recently witnessed another teacher shove a child to the ground and reprimanding him very aggresively. I immediately went into the class and yelled at her to take her hands off the child. I asked her name and went straight to the director to report what I saw. I was shaking and in tears. A week later the teacher is back in the classroom. It is completely unacceptable that this is the way the center handles child safety. To take the word of a teacher afraid of losing her job over the parents eye witness account of ANOTHER child non the less is absolutely appalling. I will not stop fighting for this teacher to be released.
