As an educator and a parent, I feel the need to warn parents about this place. My daughter used to be in the toddler room, which is located in the basement of this facility. She loved going to school until her head teacher resigned and was replaced by a ruthless individual. Soon my child’s behavior changed. She was petrified of even passing by the school and would grab onto me whenever I had to drop her off. Everyday, her teacher would give me a bag with a wet t-shirt. According to her, my daughter would purposely throw up on herself in order to avoid eating (she was not a behavior problem but was a picky eater). When I asked the directors to let me see the videos in order to understand why my daughter’s behavior had drastically changed, they told me that the cameras were not working on such week. I have recently received a letter from an ex-employee that quit because she couldn’t take the children’s abuse. This letter states how this woman forcefully grabbed my 2-year-old daughter and washed with really cold water just because she lacked an appetite (My daughter was desperately crying as she was doing this). To make things worse, she left my daughter all wet until she would calm down from crying (I guess that is the explanation for all the wet t-shirts that I received throughout a week). The letter goes on explaining the various forms of abuse that takes place in this daycare. I posted her letter on their Facebook page, but for obvious reasons it was taken down. I have been an elementary teacher for 8 years and as a professional as well as a parent, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL!
