Our child was a student in the infant room (November 2022) at Merryhill Danbrook in Sacramento. His teacher Linda who is caucasian decided she wanted to put my child and three other children who are minorities in a photo and caption it “Four little monkeys jumping on the bed”. Initially my heart sank when I saw the picture of these black and brown BABIES and the word MONKEYS.
Then I studied the photo further and saw that the children had been positioned for this photo and they were all looking at Linda while she took this photo. We still have unanswered questions. How did she get the kids to sit still like that? How did she force them to sit still? No child is jumping. No child is singing. No monkeys are in the photo. Why did she use that caption?
The rooms being recorded is a selling point when you are touring the facility and you can view the footage at anytime. NOT TRUE. Suddenly the footage of this incident was no longer available after 14 days. A COMPLETE LIE. Why? They had something to hide.
I took my child out of school after speaking to the principal who stated she would tell the teachers to be more “sensitive” with their posts which was a red flag for “COVER UP”. I told her that Linda needed to be FIRED and my child would not return until she was FIRED. . They LIED and said she was fired. She was NOT fired. The next day I find out she was offered an opportunity to go to another school to discriminate and spread her hate for people of color. They (Robin, Lisa or Stacey) NEVER denounced her behavior which says to me they agreed. They ALL covered it up.
Also they will NOT clean the carpet or floors. They refuse to. Instead Robin told the teachers that We said to leave my toddlers shoes on all day so I would not know that the floors still had not been cleaned. I knew the floors were not clean because his socks were very dirty daily.
Although the floor is where most infants spend most of their time throughout the day and the school had a RSV outbreak, the floors still had not been cleaned.
BEWARE THE “LEADERS” at these facilities are not capable of putting the children’s needs before their budget no matter how much you pay on time and in full.
