Our grandchildren (boy-2½ years and girl-10 mos.) attended Noah’s Ark Preschool in Port Jefferson, NY. My grandson was bitten numerous times by another boy in his class, in one instance drawing blood. My daughter and her husband complained but the school director, Venetta J., did nothing to intervene in this situation. It turns out this this biter’s mother was my granddaughter’s teacher. As of the last incident the school’s director stated to my daughter that the biter was referred to a specialist (?). My grandson, instead of the biter, was moved to a much younger class (24-month-olds) where he physically towers over the other children and the classroom setting is inappropriate for him.
At 3 o’clock in the afternoon the classes merge. At that time my grandson individually was being sent to the director’s office to wait two hours until pick-up). The entire sequence of events has the school and director, Venetta J., treating my grandson as though he is the perpetrator and NOT the victim. Please keep I mind most preschools biters are removed from schools after two incidents and that his mother recently was promoted to assistant director. A conflict of interest? The manner of this intervention is totally professional and can result in emotional concerns for my grandson.
Subsequently my daughter removed both children has found another school and there is no longer any contact with Noah’s Ark Preschool. Please parents be warned!
