They can't keep administrators or teachers around. Teachers have been fired for physical abuse. More teachers have quit because they can't stand the place. Teachers will flat-out tell you they wouldn't enroll their own kids at DiploTots Too. Our own son, at 13-months old, has been put in timeout. That might not seem like a huge deal, but it is against their own policy, and any pediatrician will tell you this is child abuse because children can't understand punishment at that age, but they feel scared and angry at being separated from their friends.
To be clear, the school has admitted in emails to the entire school community that kids have been hit by teachers. Kids have withheld food from children as punishment and because the teachers didn't want to clean anymore dirty diapers. This place is unsafe. DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE.
