My son attended St.Paul's for 1 year and 1/2 and during the course of his stay I wasn't very pleased towards the end when directors were switch miscommunication was a huge issue and to mant incidents with my son happen there and never was handled professionally. It was always an issue when I had any complaint about my son at that daycare. I highly reccomend that no one send there kid to this center its sad that my son experiences there actual made a lot of changes there but i had to removed him because he was bruised by another student, finger slammed in bathroom door, and leg was sprained from falling and never reported to me until my 3 yr old told me when I picked him up from school. It's such ashamed that I tried my best to support this daycare but my son didnt get taken care of like i expected toward the end of the year because there director had personal issue with me then to top it off my son stuff was thrown in trash after i took him out of childcare there because I couldnt get back to daycare in time to pick up his stuff how sick is that to trash his stuff when he had nothing to do with the drama there. whoever sends their kid there id crazy with out reviewing and making sure they finally get there license which they had a temp since my son started there, but God dont like ugly and im glad my so in a better more loving and caring professional pre-school now.
