Program is great for infants and toddlers. Preschool program is not good. There is a ton of turnover. Over the past year, there were 5 different preschool teachers. Often the teachers have minimal childcare experience. I have witnessed a teacher who was unsure how to change a pull-up diaper. You are not informed when teachers are hired until they arrive. The last two teachers didn't even introduce themselves to me when I dropped off my child. Leadership is not willing to make adjustments to accommodate individual children. For example, if a child and teacher do not get along, there are no adjustments made. Teachers are not trained to properly de-escalate situations. They have cameras in the rooms, but they are often blocked by decorations and footage is deleted after a day or two so that you cannot go back and review incidents that happened anyway. The director is tactless when dealing with issues brought to her attention.
