Kencrest Northeast is one of the worst centers ever. I definitely would not recommend this place for children. The lady at the front desk is ignorant as well as rude. She is not a people person and should not work with the public. The director is also rude and very unprofessional. The company itself doesn’t do anything when you call to complain. One classroom right by the front main office has one teacher (Spanish)who is so unprofessional and always talk down on the kids. I hear and witness this behavior every morning and it’s pathetic that this type of behavior is acceptable.
