I have used this provider for more than 6 months

As a reading interventionist who taught pre school for 8 years and various grades of elementary school for 20 more ( teacher of the year two times including this year) I would never recommend this facility to anyone. I had 2 grandchildren attend. My grandson is now 7 and is every teacher’s dream. So of course he did well. But I questioned the curriculum. A cookie cutter school. Product over process. Everything that came home looked the same and he did very little if it. It was mostly teachers. My second grandson is 4 and does have some behavior issues. Emptying out the blocks, not wanting to nap so not quiet during nap time, often wandering around during circle time, etc. As an educator we are trained for this. Behavior charts and reward systems. But my daughter- in-law was abruptly called to come get him and told he could no longer attend. A just- turned 4 year old. No time to find another school. Just come get him. I am appalled to say the least. He cries every night begging to try again. He didn’t give anyone stitches. He didn’t punch his teachers. He is disruptive at times and our family has been seeking behavioral intervention- very difficult to find since covid. But who does that?? If your child is an angel snd you like pictures of them sent home in a turkey, an elf head, a pumpkin- you get the picture- then by all means send them. If your child has any behavioral issues at all or if you value educational expression and experiences then find somewhere else!
