not sure if they were teachers or aides, but alot of them spoke NO english. How was my child to understand a person when they are not talking his language? Whenever I called to check on my son, asking "how has my son been today" reply was "yes, ok." HELLO how about if i was telling them something super important? anyways, besides that, my son was too much for them to handle, im not saying he is an angel, but once the complaints started, everything put a bug in his teacher's butt. He dropped apples on the floor, he said no, he didnt stay still during circle time, he spit on a mirror, he keeps opening the door and running out the room, he pulled the hose from the vacuum while she was vacuuming and it put dust all over... it went on and on. some complaints were valid, but i felt that once they started with the first complaint, they found any reason to call me to ask me to pick him up. -also they put the TV on ALOT for these kids and expect them to stay still and watch tv. when its time to pick him up, the place is an unorganized ZOO with the front door open and no type of security and older kids/people are all over the place. they also never asked for my husbands license the first day he picked him up assuming bc my son said "daddy" that that was ok. pulled my son out it was not the place for him.
