| - I wanted my son to go to this school because the teachers I had met after 4:30pm were so warm and polite. I didn't know at the time that those teachers did not teach the toddler class (under 2 and not potty trained). I was able to get my son into this school starting Dec 5th. When I met his would-be teacher (Debbie Grant), I was introduced by the director of the school and the teacher seemed annoyed that we were at her door but I chalked it up to the fact that her class was taking a nap at the time. She told me and the director that she had twins who were potty trained and would be moving on to the next level so she had room for my son.
The following Monday when I brought my son for his first day of school his teacher was still cold, annoyed, and unwelcoming. Debbie asked me how long he would be in her class and I said "well you told me you had room for him so he might be here for a while" she replied well "I don't know. Our class is full we just have some kids gone for vacation" I replied "you just told me Friday that they were moving on to the next level" She shrugged her shoulders and said "Well I'm not sure about that". I went home and told my husband that I was getting a really bad vibe from his teacher and I'm not sure I should leave him there. The next day he came with me to drop our son off and admitted that he was getting the same vibe but chalked it up to it being early in the morning and she's older and works with toddlers "lets cut her some slack".
A week into his schooling the Debbie decided that my son would wait for me outside for pick up (without letting me know) instead of inside the warm class room. So, I go to pick him up and he's outside in 60-degree weather with no shoes on and no jacket/coat. OK.....So the following day. Same thing. He's waiting for me outside with no shoes and no coat, AND he managed to find a bunch cigarette butts to play with. When I mention that my son was playing with cigarette butts the volunteer who was outside with him told me that the church has AA meetings and "should have cleaned this up" The next day I bring him to class and I tell Debbie "if my son can't wait for me inside the classroom send him to the office and I will pick him up there, because he's freezing outside with no shoes on and no coat on". Debbie said acting surprised "he didn't have on a coat or shoes yesterday? I wasn't here so that wasn't my fault" So I let her know that this was the 2nd day I had picked him up from outside and she said "well he was only out there for 5 minutes".
During this same time, I noticed that whenever I would pick my son up he would be filthy. His nails were black with dirt and his face had lunch and boogers dried and crusted to it. So, instead of pointing it out (because I don't want to people caring for my child to hate me) I simply would clean him up in front of Debbie and her two assistance hoping that they would get a clue. They would apologize for the way he looked but everyday it was the same thing. So, after picking him up with cheese dried to his face from his lunch and his nails black with dirt I finally asked "do you wash his hands when he comes in from outside?" Debbie responded "Yeah. I mean, we try to. Why?" me "because his nails are so full of dirt and his face is so dirty that I can't imagine that you are washing his hands before he eats his lunch with those same hands that played in the dirt outside", and magically going forward when I would pick him up he was clean.
Then 12/20/17 rolls around and I drop my son off at 8:30am and at 10:45am I get a call from his school. He has a recital and they forgot to tell me. It starts in 15 minutes and I need to bring cookies. I am 30 minutes from the school grocery shopping I literally rush to the front of the store grab cookies and pay for my items. I get a call as I'm loading my car "we have to start the show in 10 minutes. Sorry I forgot to tell you. I'll record it for you"..... My child's first recital. Missed..... because I was the ONLY parent Debbie forgot to tell. I get to the school and my 2 year old is standing between 2 parents trying to get their attention because everyone in his class has someone, but him.
Let me rewind for a moment. I asked Debbie a few days earlier if they had been singing and dancing because he was singing something and dancing around the house. She told me "oh yes. We sing Row row row your boat" AND NEVER MENTIONED he may have been practicing his routine for the recital. That day was his last day at this school. I paid for 4 weeks up front and he attended for 2 1/2 weeks.
