I have used this provider for more than 6 months

This day care is the worst. I wish I could give it less than one star. I'm currently in my Junior year of high school and still suffering the emotional repercussions of attending that damn daycare! When I used to attend the CF Brown Day care center I was undiagnosed and unmedicated for my ADHD and ADD. I understand that things were tough for the teachers, but it's inexcusable to SIT ON A CHILD during "nap time" because they are "disturbing the other kids". You should send in someone to regularly check on the teachers you employ there, and do better background checks. I can still remember it, they would sit on me and I would cry out, I would kick and scream till I was blue in the face and wheezing because my stomach hurt so bad and I could barely breathe. The other teachers would let it happen, and after the first time it happened it would regularly happen by all of them. Sometimes they'd just sit there and refuse to get off till I calmed down or passed out. I would hit them but I was a kid so it did nothing. We were all kids so we didn't know that what was happening was illegal and was never supposed to happen. Due to the fact that I was considered the "trouble maker" and the "liar" no one believed me when I talked about it to other teachers and I was too scared to talk to my parents about it. Even now, no one believes me and they all think I'm making it up, but I remember it so clearly and when I think back on it like this I start crying. I can no longer lay down when there are other people around me, and if I do, I start hyperventilating and freaking out because I'm terrified someone is going to come up and jump on me, sit on me, or pin down my arms and legs. I'm terrified of being suffocated and powerless like that. I was severely traumatized by your program and even though it has been almost ten years since I was in that program I'm still suffering. I don't remember how long I was in that program for, but I do know that it was one of the worst times of my life. It doesn't matter how long it's been, it's the fact that it happened under someone's watch and it continued to happen over an over again for however long I was there. You should better educate the people you employ on how to deal with nerodivergent or "trouble" kids. I will never send any future kids of mine to that school and I will consistently warn others about my horrific experience there. I guess things would be some what alright if it stopped there, but it didn't. I had teachers watch as I got bullied and they allowed it to happen, I had a substitute teacher stand and WATCH ME while I used the bathroom, and yes I mean watch. They stood in front of the stall and watched me, with their eyes! I'm sure if I tried hard enough the list of horrible things I experienced there could go on. It doesn't matter how many years it's been, or if there are new teachers. It matters that as a child who went through your program, you completely failed me, and others like me, because I'm sure I wasn't the only one that happened to! I know this review board is supposed to be for parents but I don't care, as a former student I can say that this school will NEVER be the right choice for anyone but nerotypical white kids who will get to enjoy all the privilege they'll get from there.
