I have used this provider for less than 6 months

We recently withdrew our son from this school due to many issues, the worst of which was him coming home with bruises and marks on his arms on multiple occasions of which staff could not explain. Prior to us withdrawing him, our son no longer wanted to go to school and was in a sad mood when we picked him up. The administration is poorly organized and communication with parents is terrible. There is little communication between the front office and teachers, and likewise between teachers and parents. The sign in computer system is frequently down, and the system that emails out daily reports was broken nearly the entire 4 months he attended. Toileting expectations are unreasonable. The head of the school proposed an action plan to help our son's behavior to which we agreed to, but it was never implemented. Emails to administration were frequently never replied to, and in person requests to speak to administration by my wife were rudely ignored numerous times. The building is poorly maintained including leaks in the ceiling, the water fountain in the main hall leaking all over the floor for months, broken/missing floor tiles in the bathroom, low battery chirps coming from classroom smoke detectors, and mouse droppings in the container storing my son's extra diapers and wipes. Avoid this school!
