| - I visited Creo during the month of September. I spoke with Brenda and who let me know she had space for my children (2yr and 4yr old) . I told her I would like them to start within a couple of weeks because I would be going back to work soon and she said it was no problem! She also scheduled a tour of which children are not allowed to attend. Not even the child or children who may be attending the school. The tour with Sherry, went fine. However I did notice, there was not a single African American child or employee. At the end of the tour Sherry gave me a folder and we sat down and discussed when I would like my children to start. I had also asked her about financial aid since I had seen information regarding financial aid in the folder she gave me. She did let me know that all of the financial aid had been used for the year. At that time, I also let her know , that was fine . At the end of the meeting we discussed that I would wanted my 4 yr old son to begin after the fall break . This was around October 17th. At this point she seemed scattered. Suddenly she had to check her roster to be sure she had space. But eventually she said it was fine and we even discussed uniforms and how she wanted me to bring my son in a day before the 17th so he could meet his teacher and friends before a full day. She did tell me she would give me a call back to confirm that he could start. Days go back and I had not received a call back. So, I called her! Since the day of the tour, I have never spoken to her again . When I called, Brenda told me that she would need to speak with Sherry and give me a call back. Again, days go by. We are now beyond the day my son was to start. I figured with them just coming from a break that she needed more time to get back to normal. I called back days later to hear from Brenda that Sherry said she suddenly had no availability in either of my children's classes and that they would be the first ones to start a waitlist. Of course during the conversation I expressed how confused I was and how I would like a call from Sherry because I didn't understand how all of a sudden there was no more room for my kiddo that was supposed to start days ago. It's now Mid November. As Brenda said, I called back a month later to see if there had been any changes. Of course she told me, she would have to speak to Sherry and give a call back by the end of the day. No call back. I called back days later and she had another excuse why Sherry hadn't answered her and couldn't speak to me. She said, Sherry was on vacation and she would be sure to have an answer for me once Sherry returned in about 2 days. I call back a week later, still no response. But what Brenda did say was that she couldn't find any information about my children but she remembered I was the one who asked about financial aid. That made me feel she was maybe dodging me because she felt like I couldn't pay for the tuition. Which is a form of discrimination. So I told her , you know, I'm just curious if you guys have space or not. It's very simple. She said she would have to speak with Sherry. At this point, I realize that for whatever reason, they do not want my children attending their school. So I had a friend call and ask Brenda if they had space for a random 4 yr old boy to start within a week or so. Sure enough , Brenda told her , we do have space. At this point, I'm upset because she flat out lied to me by saying she had to speak to Sherry and ask if she had space. if there was suddenly a space open for a 4 yr old why didn't she tell me that? Especially when my kids are, "#1 on the wait list". I call her back the same day minutes apart from my friend and asked her the same question, do you or not have space for a 4yr old boy or my 2 yr old daughter. She addressed me by my name and told me that Sherry had just walked in and that she hadn't spoken to her yet. So at that point I let her know that I set her up and that I felt discriminated against. I let her know that I would do whatever I could to be sure that someone greater than her or Sherry knew what they were doing to me. She apologized and wanted to immediately fix the situation. I let her know I was no longer interested in the school and hung up. Since you all do not know, I am a mixed woman and so are my children. I do not know if it was my skin color or the fact that I asked about financial aid that caused them to mistreat my family but neither would be an "ok" reason. We are good people who just needed a great place to send our children while we work to provide for them. To end I will say, they have never called me back. If ever someone told me that they felt discriminated against , I would make it my priority to let them know that they there had to have been a miscommunication. But , clearly, there wasn't. They discriminated us and it is not ok and I WILL do WHATEVER I need to do so that everyone in my community knows it.
