| - ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!
My son started this school on July 7th. Tina was the director at the time. My son just turned four in March. He needs extra attention. He is my step son and has not had the easiest life so far with his biological mother. I informed Tina of this and she still insisted on putting him in the open fours. It is a loft area that kids can run around and play with no actual supervision. I was not happy with this but Tina pretty much told me I didn't have a choice and to trust her she has been doing this for a long time and she is a mom herself. I kept my mouth shut against my gut feeling and let it be and kept a close eye on how he was doing. After one week, I was getting reports of his bad behaviour. I then spoke with the "executive director", can not remember her name, heavy set woman with very short black/dark brown hair, and moved him to the closed fours with Ms. Jannette and Ms. Rosey. Ms Jannette does not get in until 8:15 but somehow he still needs to teachers instead of one. I can pick him up at noon and its Ms. Rosey. I can pick him up at 2pm and its Ms. Jannette. It all depends on what the teacher is feeling that day (NO STABILITY). Ms. Rosey was on vacation for a week or so, so he had some different teacher that would not even speak to me and/or some guy in the classroom that looked like he was 18. Why is there an 18 year old not certified watching my child? So when Ms. Rosey came back then Ms. Jannette had to go on vacation for a week. Ms. Jannette just came back this Monday. So in four weeks, he had two different "Core Classrooms" ( you have to drop the kids off in the "school age classroom every morning and pick them up there if you are picking them up after four) and he has had 3-5 different teachers all in four weeks. Monday and Tuesday when Ms. Jannette came back he had good days. Things were okay. I spoke to Ms. Tracey (I think thats her name) real skinny lady with short curly hair and glasses on Monday, she said he did a lot better. We both agreed that now that there will be stability in the facility that his behaviour will improve. On Wednesday at 12pm (yesterday) I got a call at work from Tracey that I need to come pick up my son. I asked why she said because he was disruptive and would not take a nap and would not allow the other kids to nap because he was being loud. I asked if she was serious, she said that "he has been disruptive since 8:05 this morning". I said okay, On my way there I was wondering why I was paying this place to take care of my son if they can not do something as simple as putting him in time out for his behaviour.
So I get there, and I am signing him out and there is a note on my sons sign out log with the number for human behavior management for AZ. and it says "see ms Tracey" (like I would go to see her to pick up my damn kid). So I get there and the douch bag owner is there (he is the rudest man you will ever meet, he puts on a show the first few times but as soon as you have a concern he is the biggest a** ever) He says oh I guess I will leave now. Find his phone and leaves. My son is playing on the floor in the middle of the office and I sit down and am told that my child can no longer attend this facility until he is assessed by the state. Completely and utterly blew me away. I have had no issues with my child, his previous school Little Scholars Academy, LOVED him! We had no issues there. So this was a complete shock. I asked why and what would the assessment do. They said because his behavior is out of control and the assessment would decide of my son needed a behavior couch to come into our home and watch him and follow him to school and watch him in his classes. I almost punched the ***** in the face. I stayed calm. And asked again where this was coming from because I just spoke to Ms. Tracey and everything was okay we both agreed that the lack of stability was the cause of him misbehaving. I was then told by the executive director that no other child is being bad. I then interrupting her and asked her what another child has to do with my child and told her to never compare children. Her response was "you compared us to other schools" I said " No I did not, I stated a fact that your facility has not had stability for my son, comparing is when you take two or more things and look at the differences and similarities of the those things I am just stating a fact. Your school has not been stable for my son. your school has failed my son. I am not going to put him in the system just because you do not like my child or me" Her response *smiling* "I can accept that". I looked at my son told him to put the toys away, he complained he didn't want to, I told him if he did not then he would have to go in time out. He immediately put the toys away and we left.
PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YOUR KIDS HERE!!!!
