I have used this provider for more than 6 months

OK this list goes on and on but let’s start with 1. The director email etiquette is completely derogatory.
2. They are teachers for size maybe one miss Hannah it’s on qualified to be teaching classes.
3. My child has came home and repeatedly told me this story on several different occasions that his teacher put him in timeout, and made him hold his arms up until they was burning and he was crying in front of the class. My child would repeatedly scream and holler when I was dropping him off at school and saying he hate his school and his teacher is mad at him. I informed the assistant Director nothing happened with the turn out. She did not follow up with me at all.. the two year old teacher has never been a teacher. She was a cook at the previous school she worked at.
