My son attended this location for just under two months. In that short time, I was harassed by centers director, Linda, via email or phone, nearly every week. The issues began immediately and ranged from: his crying for me the first week, wanting to go home the first week, not lying still for the mandatory nap period of two hours (yes, TWO HOURS), or it was what I sent for his lunch. I submitted a doctors note to the school, which allowed me to pack his food. Before then, he was going hungry all day and would not eat the food provided by the center. Per state guidelines, the note was sufficient. To Linda, however, this was not acceptable. Instead, she regularly argued with me about a mental health diagnosis that my son does not have. Several times, she told me to get him evaluated for one thing or another. She talked as though my son was a stain on the school; one which it must be cleansed of swiftly, by way of a multitude of accusations and bullying, which ultimately lead to our departure. The last straw for me, was when I dropped my son off late, due to a doctors appointment. Linda aggressively followed me down the hallway. She said it was nap time and my son doesnt nap, so there is nothing for him to do here." Really? A preschool/daycare has nothing for a 3 year old to do? I inquired if theyd then reduce his tuition, since she refused care. To that, she had nothing to say. All I heard from the director is what a problem my son was, yet I only heard from his teacher that hes adjusting well and enjoying his time. This has been the first and WORST experience for our family. Everything that others told me is typical of a child new to daycare, was entirely blown out of proportion and portrayed as serious behavioral or social issues. Issues such as: he wanted to go home the first day, he cried, he opened the classroom door, he cant consistently remain still for the aforementioned two hour mandatory nap, etc. If your child isnt all smiles and giggles from the start, and/or wont nap/remain still for the required daily two-hour slot everyday, and eat whatever the school serves without question, this is not the place for your child. I know its not the place for mine. My son feels unwanted. No parent or person should ever have to deal with this.
