I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I don’t recommend this place to ANYONE! I have a 2yr old daughter that was in the baby class and needed to go to the bigger kids toddler classroom since she is almost turning 3 now, I notice some behaviors I didn’t like on a few teachers when I would come earlier to pick up my daughter, I then decided to show up earlier to school to see what’s going on in my daughters new class. I showed up earlier, the teacher Ms. Preetha & the assistant Ms. Nicole from the toddler class were being very mean to the kids, Ms. Preetha pulled one by the shirt towards her and Ms. Nicole the assistant was laying one of the girls down with force. Their attitude was as if they had no motivation to even be there and disturbing. Ms. Maya was watching through the window with me and didn’t seem concerned at all and I said to her why are they being so rough with the kids and my daughter is in a corner shaking and crying SCARED, her answer to me was “ sometimes they have to be a little rough with them “ I looked at her and thought to myself where is it that I have my daughter omg this is sad, I opened that door and told Ms. Preetha I’ve been watching for a while and didn’t like the way they were treating our kids. The director and assistant weren’t there so I left. This was very disturbing!!! My daughter has problems engaging with other kids and she gets therapy so being in a place where she doesn’t feel safe because of what she is looking at is not making her progress any better. The next day I went to the school with my daughter and her therapist to talk to Krissy the director, once we are there and try to explain to Krissy what’s going on she was changing her mood getting very mad then she was trying to keep calm but couldn’t help it, I asked her to call the teacher that was standing watching and her answer to me was “ well you know she’s in class right now “ and I said to her so this is not important to you then, we are talking about the safety of all YOUR kids here. I took my daughter out of the school after talking to Krissy the director because she made it seem it wasn’t important or that serious. I’m glad my daughters therapist went with me and saw everything!I couldn’t believe they acted like it was not a serious problem! I don’t recommend this place to any parent that is concerned about the way their child is being treated when you are not around , if you just chose this location my message to all parents is to Show up earlier or do random stop checks to see what is going on with your child PLEASE
