Angry parent

★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
New Bairn School really needs to get some new workers, starting with the baby room, Olga’s room and Tiny Tots. All the workers believe they own the place and can do what they want. In the baby room they give the babies Tylenol to make them sleep all day and then lie to the parents. They also don’t feed the kids if they whine when they are hungry. In Olga’s room she eats the kids lunches then gives non kosher students food they can’t eat. She slams the kids in the high chairs or shakes them constantly if they are crying. Tiny Tots that Dayana thinks she is the boss and can tell everyone what to do but she can’t e touched. One thing that really annoys me is I found out that there is a register sex offender goes into the school every day and I mentioned it to the director and she just brushed it off. All parents should know that she is one and why is she being allowed to be come into a daycare with minors. This school really needs to be shut down ASAP!
