Reviews
I seen this group out in public and if you care about your child at all you would pull them out of this program immediately. There were three teachers with these children and they were all pulling the children around by their arms, pushing them into walls and the largest of the teachers never stop screaming at them. She disrupted the entire building. This teacher needs to be fired. Ruined my day and made me very sad to see such abuse by people that are paid to take care of someones children.
