Do NOT send your child here. As a parent who witnessed children being verbally abused and hit, when we visited them without an appointment (from window since they would not open the door for a long time) and from next room in one I stance. Also a parent had a child here who was scratched and hit by the teachers and reported it to the state. The director Ms Gloria blamed the child and tried to cover it up. Keep your children safe from abuse. Do not send them to either location (Chapel st or Parmalee Ave).
