I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Individually they do have some great teachers; however, it is the way Weinackers is run that is a stressor in an already busy life. In my couple of years of experience with this location, there has been a high turnover rate. That alone raises a flag. There was even a time where a teacher became insubordinate and against the direction of her supervisor she still called me and left me a voicemail demanded I speak with her because of an issue with my son. The supervisor apologized and informed that it was just minor kids stuff. I have had several calls where the director calls and demands that the group of kids that got in trouble (like making a mess) be picked up because they are being punished. Instead of talking to them and having them pick up the mess, their first response is to interrupt the parents from their work day to punish their kids by sending them home. They also close arbitrarily for holidays. Even though the holiday has passed they will still close the following day, a business day. So not only are you required to pay for their service, but also pay someone else to cover such days. I spoke with the administrator and completely shut down the idea of working their schedule more efficiently to try to cover those business days. Her attitude was just one that tells you that you are just a number to them. Weinacker's is one of the most expensive tuition you will pay in the area, and honestly the cost does not match the service. (especially if you are a single parent or a very busy family)
