This school is horrible! My 11 month old baby had gotten a scratch on his head no too long ago. When I went to pick him, the report said that another child had scratched him. A couple of days went by, and his scratch had got infected. I took him to the doctor and the doctor said that' This isn't a scratch from another child, this look likes a scratch from a nail or a staple". I was furious. The teachers do not know what they are doing, or how my child got hurt. I pulled my child out.
