I have used this provider for less than 6 months
Site director is very rude and disrespectful! She’s not professional at all and has very poor communication skills when it comes to concerned parents. I’ve had several in counters with her and both situations she was not willing to admit her wrong for the events. And she run 3 different location so beware of her, she Clayton wenonah and i believe Vineland. She made me feel unsafe for my child to attend so I pulled him out of the program.
