This school was deceptive. We thought they were wonderful the entire time we attended (about 2 years). However my son started having problems there. Come to find out another child was constantly attacking him (punching, kicking, etc) to the point one day at four years old he told me he shouldn???t be alive anymore, that one of the kids told him he should kill himself. The teachers were telling him he was being a tattle-tale every time he tried to get help and then when I tried to get some help with the situation, the school turned on us. All of a sudden, after a year and a half of them telling me everything was great, he was a great kid, etc, they tell me that he is the worse kid there. One day when I went to pick him up from his class for a doctor???s appointment (which I called in advance and told them about) I caught his male teacher down stairs yelling at him and another girl. Then when I told the director (Connie) they said that it was a misunderstanding and that maybe from now on I should make sure everyone knows I???m going to be dropping in, so I???m not disruptive. I then tried to show them the booklet that said the school had an open door policy (this was around 2009); she told me that the rules had changed. The open door policy was a big one for me; that was one of the things I explicitly asked about/made sure was allowed, etc, before we chose to have my son attend. Anyway, long story short, we were burned financially by going to this school and I find out bits and pieces as time goes on and my son starts talking more about this horrible school. I just found out today, as he randomly remembered and spoke about the male teacher that had yelled at him, had also spanked him when he didn???t listen him. So, send your kid here if you want but they are really good at covering their tracks and wrongdoings??? it took us 2 years to find out that our son was being mistreated and that was pure luck. We would have never known and we are still finding out about the abuses that went on. We tried to press charges or file a report but we didn???t have enough proof and we were not about to allow our child to stay in the school any longer to get our proof??? and unfortunately, you can???t send your child with a secret recorder or anything like that (in Washington state) without their consent??? so, when we???re talking about children from 1-4 years of age??? hard to catch the people when their doing bad things. Beware of this school; they???re not what they seem!
