My son would come home weekly with multiple incident reports, bruises, black eyes, scratches, bite marks, hives all over from his nut allergy (when they are supposed to be a nut free school), some times even without explanation, “no one knew what happened” and zero follow up from the school or access to video footage. They let whoever in the building and roam without checking ID or guiding them to the right classroom. They are currently in a “financial crisis” as well, getting rid of diaper programs yet increasing rates, taking non holidays off, ending early for “in service meetings” and charging you for your kids activities. This school has zero structure due to their director, Virginia. She changes her mind on policies consistently, never follows through with incidents or requests, and is extremely unpleasant in general. Do not send your kids here.
