Buyer beware. Proceed with caution. This is my daughter's story and it may be a long one, but something I need to tell in order to save other children. My daughter is 4 and had been attending over 2 years. She does have epilepsy along with some very minor learning delays, but has NEVER had a seizure here or without myself or my husband. Pay attention to what I'm about to say. Prior to moving into the 3 year room, my daughter did have a bout of seizures as we were testing weaning her off meds since she had been seizure free over 2 years. The director called to tell me to keep her home for at least a month but would need to continue to pay to keep her spot. So many red flags in that conversation. I should have pulled her then. The 3 year old teacher boasted that she potty trained all the kids although she never did that for mine. Despite us getting her to the point of wearing underwear, she was getting picked up COLD & WET those days so I went back to pullups. I watched that teacher shame a little boy who changed himself because he peed his pants. She would do my daughter's worksheets so she didn't have to teach her. I have pictures of perfectly placed stickers and my daughter sitting cutely by herself. That teacher would then tell me to do sticker art with her at home because she has fine motor issues. She and the director plotted to send home a questionnaire to try to say my daughter had autism. When I questioned the theme of this questionnaire (only social emotional) I was lied to and said this was their "3 year packet and the same for each kid". Now, if my kid had autism this would not be an issue, but she had already been fully evaluated by the state to decide which therapies she needed. It was always the way they went about things that felt wrong. Things mellowed for a while after that teacher moved onto a different class. Keep reading. Moving to recent events. My daughter just turned 4 and still wasn't potty trained. I called in paid reinforcements and that worked. She was fully trained at home but not at daycare. We had a meeting with the directors just before this in which I was met with "support" of "whatever we needed". I asked her original 3 year old teacher who is now co lead of the 4s, to try to go without a pull up ONE day - and upon pickup I was met with obvious frustration because my daughter wouldn't pee completely for them and had an accident. I can understand that but with them having my child 4 days a week and at this point they are very aware of her routines, I had reached my point of "I don't have the answers for you" and took my kid inside to the restroom. Within a minute or two, I begin to hear the director and that teacher yelling about us in the front of the center where people are coming in and out picking up their children. Saying awful things like how they've had it with her. Had. It. With. Her. A 4 year old who just needs to get to the bathroom. No wonder she didn't feel comfortable peeing for them. If they can yell about her when they think no one's looking, what do they say to her face when I'm not around? My daughter never bonded with this teacher. Always cried and always said no when I mentioned their name. While she still went to hug the three year old lead because she's "so so nice" as my kid would say. I pulled my daughter as soon as I could. I cannot in good conscience send my sweet and special child to a place that doesn't see her but only her inconveniences. They sure don't have a problem taking my money. When I asked them to take her to the bathroom twice an hour, I was told that was unreasonable and that they would have to hire a whole person to do that for her. Read that again. Does this still make you want to send your kid there? I implore you to look harder, find somewhere - anywhere else and I assure you will sleep better knowing these people don't have your child. I'm betting most of the good reviews are from current or former employees. Follow the one stars. Look for the red flags. I wish I had sooner. My child deserves better - and so does yours
