NOT a Development Center...Not even a decent day-care 1/6/2009

My 3 year old's ""class"" has way too many children in my opinion and the workers are not qualified as ""teachers"". The girl watching a dozen kids in the afternoon is only 17 years old! They do absolutely NO academic work with the children. My son would have tantrums because of the chaotic situation. There is very little (if any) structure and the teachers do not have the skills to handle the children.\r \r Administration is extremely confrontational, NOT helpful and don't seem to want to listen to parent feedback. If you do not follow their recommendations and agree with their opinions, then they will begin providing ""write ups""....which are NOT accurate but paint your child as a problem. I received at least 2 write ups on my child that I know were incorrect and when confronted about the inaccuracies, I was told they they would get back to me...which they never did. If you do not do everything that the director wants, then they result to calling you to pick up your child on a regular basis. For 7 months I never received a write up or meeting regarding my child's behavior. On the director's insistence, I brought my son to Child Find for an evaluation since he wasn't speaking as well as the other kids. I provided the report from Child Find to the director who then wanted permission to speak to the Child Find people. When I refused, I began getting write ups and was called on 3 occasions over a 2 week period to come pick him up because he was ""disrupting the class"". I believe that her actions were in retaliation for my not acquiescing to her demands. They seem more interested in labeling your child than trying to figure out what triggers the behaviors and how we can detect those triggers and deter the tantrums before they happen. Their main focus is NOT the happiness and welfare of the child!!\r \r I would definitely NOT recommend this place for any child. Pros: Price-""parents night out"" Cons: EVERYTHING else more
