I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My child went there, and from what I was told from the family advocate, that they will help me achieve my school goals(Because at the time I was enrolled in college classes). However, being there at 745 or earlier was an issue for the first three weeks. Nobody came to the door (They didn't let other kids in till exactly 8am) and the supervisor always had an attitude when I came in because it seemed like it was inconvenient for them. I was told by the supervisor that 740 was good then she told me that she didn't say that. I was late to class several times and was almost kicked out because of this issue. My class was 8am. and if you don't know traffic in Greenville along with Ayden school traffic, it was a pain in the you know what. They knew my schedule two semesters in advance, so they had plenty of time for any body to get on the roll. And Don't try to find someone, nobody there will go look for them, they will send you around the whole damn building before you get to the person you need to see.
