I have used this provider for more than 6 months
I would never recommend this school, I would actually warn parents not to send their children to this school. I had a terrible experience here where my son was verbally abused by teachers (Miss Jenn and Miss Jaclyn) and also witnessed these teachers physically push my son down at 18 months and force him to nap for 3 hours while he was hysterically crying and very afraid. My experience with the situation, especially the Director of the school was basically the school trying to sweep it under the rug. I do not think anyone should tolerate abuse of any child no matter the age, and these "teachers" are not meant to be around children. The yelling and screaming is also not something that should happen in a school environment, especially to innocent children that should not be afraid to come to school. This is run as a corporation, not as a place that working parents feel comfortable that their kids are safe. They should have been fired immediately and that didn't happen. I think it's ridiculous and other parents should speak out if this is happening to their children. I was called by NJ State Dept. that was doing an investigation of the school which should have been done a long time ago. It may look all pretty inside but what goes on behind closed doors is not acceptable. DO NOT trust these people. They are shady and only want your money. Unfortunately I feel very sorry for some of the teachers that are there because a few of them are really great people. If I could rescue them and bring them to the new school that we are at I would, but unfortunately it does not work that way. DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE
