I have used this provider for more than 6 months
My son was there and they Honestly complained about him so much everyday almost . My son is full of energy but mean we’ll.. it was until I stood up for him and told them to stop complaining because no parent want to hear how bad they think thier child is . They moved him up and I almost felt forced into moving him up .I told them he him was not emotionally ready but they believed he was I took him out because he was accepted to a new school . for a teacher to tell someone I know he no longer in the school because of his behavior and that is not acceptable .
