In my expirence, the school runs a tight ship with no wiggle room for the children. Even though they say they are accomidating, I beg to differ. The entire first month my son was there, when I went to pick him up.. he was crying in a corner alone.. Staff did not take any time to pick him up or hold or try to comfort him. My child is unable to talk. I had therapists that went into the center to work with him. They reported seeing other children drag him around by the arms, screaming in his face, and attempting to forcefully feed him. Definetly not a place for a child with special needs. He was seen as an inconvience to the teachers. The only thing they care about is your money and their ratios. The center was given visual schedules by a therapist, which of course, they took no time to use. They definetly have their "favorite" kids and will get rid of any child who they actually have to teach and work with.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) When transferring files, I noticed that her child abuse clearance was missing. We resubmitted for a new one right away. Employee #3 had her NSOR sent out 5.23.22 before she started. Between starting and the time it was filled out she moved from the address listed. When I had not received it asked her for it and she had not received it, so I asked her to call. They said it was sent to the old address and they would resend it. When we didn't receive it again, I had her call and they told her to wait it would be in the mail. I had her call back and ask if they could fax or we pick it up and they said no, I then had her ask if they could resend it and they said they would. We finally received the third copy. I thought it would have the first date on it since they had processed before the last time we called. Employee #5 did her class as soon as it was discovered to be late. |
