I have used this provider for more than 6 months
I have no complaints about my sons teacher. She has been great! But the after school program is a joke! I can’t speak for all the classes. But the one my son is in is terrible! Every time I pick him up the teachers are sitting in chairs away from the kids and sucked into their cell phones. My mother has picked my son up and no one acknowledges her and she’s never been ID. These after school teachers had no clue who my mother was or who she was there for. I’ve picked my son up before and no one even knew I was there because their cell phone was more important. I’ve personally witnessed one after school teacher named Ashley yelling at the kids. She even accused my 5 year old of stealing a penny that he actually took out of my wife’s car. She had this conversation in front of the entire classroom full of kids. That conversation should have been had in the hall with a witness present. My son was kicked in the face by another child and no one made me aware. I wasn’t called and no documentation was done. I had to find out by noticing the red foot mark on my child’s face. Kids will be kids. But I should’ve been made aware by one of the adults watching the children. But that’s the problem. They aren’t properly supervising the kids!
