Wish I could give them zero stars, for privacy issues I won’t name past employees but they all know what truly goes down there. The boss Tatyanna only area about money, and not the children’s well being. I know from “personal” first point of view accounts of the drama & horror stories. The owner has a lawyer she’s quick to use and silence ppl. One day he won’t be able to cover up their dirt. The place is under staffed. Classes are constantly out of ratio so trust me the children aren’t being well supervised. They lie on incident reports, there are teachers there that manhandle children. I drove up to the play ground and saw a lil girl maybe 3 years old outside alone and witnessed a parent bring her back to the teacher. I know the lil girls mom, had a convo with her and she’s clueless wasn’t even told.
I'll keep this short and simple. My child attended this facility for a little less than a year. He no longer goes there due to the fact his teacher (Olena Samar) harmed my child. She dragged him by one arm, twisted his arm, and forcefully put him into his cot for nap time. She is no longer an employee there. Here's the icing on the cake: the owner, Tatiana Kogen, knew that this incident occurred and didn't tell me until 9 days later. All the while, Olena was still an employee there handling my child and others.
There was video footage of the incident, a police report filed, and an investigation.
