About the Provider

Description: I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our school! My name is Suneeta and I am the director. I have a master’s degree in Child Development. I bring more than 20 years of experience as a teacher and manager. I love interacting with families and seeing the children’s smiling faces every day. There is nothing better than starting the morning with a hug from a child that enters our school or receiving countless pictures throughout the day.

2021-05-10 Complaint 13A.16.07.01 Corrected
Findings: A self-reported complaint states an incident that occurred yesterday, May 6, 2021, at 4:30 pm. A preschool teacher, Maria Guiterrez, was seen via video surveillance, slightly pushing the right side of a two year old girls head with the back of her hand because the child was coloring on the table instead of paper. A parent of another child witnessed the video and immediately called the director to report this. Another staff member, an Aide, named Kerryanne Flannery, was in the classroom changing a child's diaper at the time of the incident. The director immediately came into the classroom and asked Ms. Guiterrez to come out of the room to discuss this. The group had 9 two years old in care yesterday when this occurred. Ms. Guiterrez has been placed on administrative leave until the center decides whether to keep her as an employee. The director stated that the child did not cry after being pushed on the head and that there were no injuries sustained as a result of being pushed on the head. The parent of the child was informed and the parent asked that the director not discipline the teacher, that her child is a handful. The director plans to call child protective services.

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

The male instructor was being rough with a small boy inside the bathroom. I’m not sure if there are cameras there because of privacy, so definitely taking advantage of a blind spot.
