We enjoyed a wonderful 4 years at Reach for the Stars before the prior owners- Patt and John Frederick returned to the center. The Frederick's were involved in a domestic dispute that resulted in Patt shooting John and being charged with attempted murder. She plead down to assault and thus her record was expunged and she can now be a "volunteer" at the center. Parents were given no notice of her return and when we complained they decided that it was Tracy, the director, that complained and fired her. We withdrew our children the same day- we just cannot trust the judement of these people. They may say they are not staff but the letter to the parents stating Tracy was fired came under the signature of Steve- the on paper owner, and the Fredericks (his grandparents).

The teachers at this center were wonderful and I hope that they are all able to relocate to other centers/in-home because the new management is not desirable.
