I am a former employee. There was a teacher there who was hitting the children. I was appalled that after the matter was brought to the attention of the administration twice they continued to allow her to work there. Some of the teachers there are very rude and mean to the children and to the other staff members and they do not adhere to the educational curriculum or to health and sanitation guidelines. There are some good teachers there though.
