After speaking with a parent recently I discovered he called and warned the staff that his daughter had been diagnosed that day with "Hand Foot Mouth Disease" which is extremely contagious. The preschool proceeded to allow the childs mother to drop her off there the very following day and exposed all of the children to the disease. I am appalled and will not be using this facility.
my name is callyn and when i went to little exploers everyone was mean, they told us scary stories, made us sit behind a big peice of wood for time out, and then there was the dreaded day my broter was litteraly scared for life, me and my brother Isaac have always stuck together like paper and glue. But we knew that when it came time to go to preschool we had to seperate,(becuasewe were different ages.) so wheile im in the other room one of the teachers told ANOTHER STUDENT TO PUSH MY BROTHERINTO THE TABLE, and as my mom is rushing over there my brother is BLEEDING FROM RIGHT ABOVE THE EYE, SCARED OUT OF MY OWN MIND THEY WONT LET ME IN, iam twelve now and hoping that NO OTHER CHILD GOSE THROUGH WHAT MY BROTHER AND I WENT THROUGH THERE.
