Do not bring your children here if they are special needs. They do not have the proper training on how to treat them appropriately. They will also tell you that their sensory and food aversions are made up and they will go against your child’s IEP, Doctors and parents orders all because they care about federal funding more then your child’s health. They also expect children to be perfect and fit in boxes without letting them be themselves.
This program is amazing, my son has made such an improvement and he loves his teachers. I would highly recommend this pre-school to any mommies living in saint joe.
