If you want your child to have a crushed spirit this is the place for him/her....after 2 years of care my grandson came away with such a defeated spirit. He has sensory issues, issues transitioning from one activity to the next, this school chose not to work within his needs. Daily reports were all negative, never anything that he did good...heart breaking for a child of 3 to come home and state "I can't do nothing..I make my teachers sad"..Reports from my grandson of his arms being squeezed when the staff were unable to redirect him. Had an OT in to work with him and staff, and to suggest things that could be done to help..staff chose not to work from the suggested listing...follow up visit from OT suggested that his behavior was a normal toddler behavior...Once the decision was made to remove him from their care, the staff became very "happy and friendly"....such a sad place..if your child loves to imagine and role play...not allowed...Not a recommended place for children...
