We reported to the staff that another kid was calling him names, causing him to scream every morning when we would take him in. The staff did NOTHING. I suspect other things were going on because he suddently started throwing the biggest fit about going to that school when he had never done that before.\r
\r
We witnessed the bullying and asked the other child to please stop, she complied no big deal. The director, sent home a nasty letter scolding us ---a very nasty exchanged followed over the next few days. When we called to ask them why they were being so hatefull to us they told us that we were ""kicked out"" and had to pick up our son in the next half hour. Yes, 30 minutes notice that we no longer had day care.\r

If you are a working mom and need a day care that's reliable and doesn't go on a big power trip I would NOT recommend this place. Elizabeth Sparks takes her ""power"" trips at your expense. \r

They also made my 3 year old son sit in the office holding all of his belongings until we were able to pick him up. He was immediatly walked out of his class and was not given the opportunity to say good bye. Yeah...he's now 6 and we are still explaining to him why he couldn't say good bye to his friends.\r

We went to Teddy Bear Academy and I can not say enough good things about that school. Sweetest people you could ever meet, and they understand how children behave, when to intervene, when not to intervene. After our son was there for 2 weeks he begged us to take him on Saturdays. He loved it. We left the school only because our son went to kindergarten...if it were up to him he would still be there.
