I am an employee

I previously worked at Kindergate. The issues with four-year-olds in the school-aged room was not resolved. There were THREE four-year-olds in that class. The school aged room was also over ratio. On one occasion, one of the toddlers managed to unlatch the gate and get out. A teacher not in the toddler room only noticed this when someone walking along the street saw the child outside of the gate. These issues were never resolved when reported to admins.
