I can't describe what my family went through the last couple of weeks with this school--I had to pull both of my children out last week from the Pre-K program. Apparently (I have learned the last couple of weeks)--this preschool always had a stellar program and reputation, but the leadership and some of the staff changed last summer and it's gone completely downhill, which I can now attest to... Not only did my son not grow academically while he was here, he was belittled and humiliated for having an accident at school by one of the teachers. Another teacher accused him of touching other children inappropriately while playing "doctor"--(which the students are not supposed to play, but the teacher in that classroom is so disorganized and lazy that she doesn't supervise the kids--bottom line is no adult saw anything, they just wanted him out because he has an IEP and challenged them...). This was our final straw....we pulled our children out and have them already enrolled in another school, where they are already THRIVING! I felt awful for my kids for having to start in a new setting halfway through the year, but it is already proving to be for the best. My almost five year old (who never naps) is no longer forced to lay in a dark room, but is now given kindergarten prep things to do at his new school. Since pulling them out of PMDS, many other parents are now sharing their horror stories with me about this place and are pulling their kids too! Unless they change leadership and some of the teachers, I urge you to look elsewhere!
