I have used this provider for more than 6 months

This review is for the director and how she spoke about my child. I originally thought this was a nice facility but my son grew to hate it. If you have a child who is ADHD, high energy, autistic, or at all neurodivergent this may not be a good fit. The class sizes were too big and there was a lot of unsolicited advice and judgment from the director.

Since the first week of school i was told that my child should have more words, which I knew, so we started speech therapy. Later she insinuated that something more was “wrong with him”. Over one weekend he had a spill and broke his tooth. She called me at work first out of concern then the conversation took a weird turn. She asked me if he ever cried when he got hurt. I thought that was a strange question, and said of course he did. She claimed he gets hurt all the time at school but NEVER cries, that he has NO emotions. I said he had plenty of emotions, sometimes tantrums. She turned it around and said “oh so he can’t control them?” and told me he needed ABA therapy. When she brought up his speech again, I proudly told her he’s progressed so much and has over 100 words. The director literally laughed in my face and said “But does he though?” In a condescending tone.
Weeks later she claimed he never makes eye contact, not even when she demands it. One day she brought him to her office to scold him and said that he laughs like “no one’s there”. She even mimicked his facial expressions.
She has been so negative which in my opinion hinders his development.

Over the last 7 months I have signed over 7 incident reports all of which other kids bit MY SON leaving marks, but I knew this was also just a sign of the age and I stayed patient. Yet towards the end there were daily talks of infractions against my son like “he took his shoes off again instead of doing dance party” or “he rode on a toy car that’s not a ride on.” They have a chart on the wall with the children’s name on it where if you’re bad you get a red dot and green dot if you’re good. Keep in mind they’re 2 so this seemed quite inappropriate and ineffective.

Also I would ask for a copy of the potty training rules if you have a late talker because there is a strict requirement to ask for potty in a FULL sentence (not 1 or 2 words) which may be hard for some in a room of 20 toddlers.

Why pay $1200 a month for this kind of treatment?
