I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I loved the Mission Statements in reference the school's goal for the students. But the teacher do NOT have the proper training to care for students. When ever you have a problem with the teacher, the director would act as if she there to help with your concerns but she %100 defense the teachers for their wrong doing. So to make a Long story short, They put my child out because I was constantly complain about a teacher about her tone with her students, and instead of property training the teacher. She put my child. My child has been doing soooo much better in school since she left Kuumba. Win win situation.
