I have used this provider for more than 6 months

When my child first started Celebree before the pandemic, everything was perfect. When they stopped letting the parents in, things got very out of control and my child changed. She cried to be left at school, she had severe tantrums at home, and she was starting to hit. We do not use any form of physical punishment in our home & we do not teach her to fight. The toddler room has been thru several teachers because the classroom is so chaotic that teachers cannot run it. None of the teachers have a degree or know anything about special needs which is a huge red flag considering the fact that they accept children with disabilities. And I believe this company is all about the money.

My child is autistic so she is nonverbal. One day she came home with a bite mark and no one knew how it happened & they did not allow me to view the cameras. They wrote me a piece of paper that was just to cover their behinds. Fast forward now my child is in a chaotic toddler room and I drop my child off and I noticed that her cry elevated and I went back to see what was wrong and there is a little girl standing over top of her slapping her in her face. The teacher back was turned towards the kids and she didn’t even care that there was a child crying. As soon as I stormed in the room the teacher wanted to act like she cared. I wasn’t having it. I got so emotional and pulled my child immediately.

Another incident is I saw a teacher yank a child by his arm and scream at him “WERE IN THE HALLWAY” I spoke to management about it and they shrugged it off until I said I was pulling my daughter from the center. I had a meeting with corporate and she decided to bring the teacher back and my mind is blown!

Corporate daycares like celebree do not care about your kids, they only want your money!
