rev:text	We had our son enrolled with them when he was about 18 months and started with a good experience. We liked the workers and the class and were seeing positive results in his development and he was happy. Then the new school term started and he went into the 2-3 yr old classroom. We almost immediately started seeing a negative effect. First week he got bit. I expect this to happen from time to time. What was alarming was that no one caught it until after his nap which means no one saw it happen. The classroom he is in has way too many kids (42 by the count on the sheet). Yes they are meeting state standards (we are informed) of child to worker ratio but we know things aren't being caught and that many kids in one room causes all of the kids stress. The last class he was in didn't have half that much. I understand that the first week of a new class is stressful for kids but it goes on. We don't get the detailed reports like we did with his previous class. We are no longer sure if he is getting long enough naps or how much he is eating other than what gets left in his lunch bag when picked up. Our child was already starting to develop worse behavior at home that had us suspect that he wasn't getting long enough naps or was being over stressed or something was going on. The above wasn't even the worst. Today as I was dropping off my child, I heard two of the workers talk about withholding snack from one of the children for misbehaving (not talking about doing, had already done it and one was informing the other that was the reason the child was upset). I'm not sure if it was delaying or outright withholding but it doesn't matter. That is a child development no-no. We pulled our child out that day. Update: I've actually had other parents contact me on this (good for parents that are concerned!) We have since spoken with the director of the facility as she had serious concerns regarding all of this. Our experience with the director is that she is a person that really cares about her school and the programs that they offer. She alleviated some of our concerns (especially the food concern, which she agree that no staff is ever allowed to do) and gave a reasonable explanation of what actually occurred from the overheard conversation (that the child wanted food from his prepared lunch when it wasn't lunch time and not the provided snack). Can't change what I overheard unfortunately. Reports are suppose to be detailed and apparently staff forgot to offer to show us the more detailed staff reports. The only concern we still had was the number of children total in the class. It was explained that 42 was the total possible number throughout that included kids that are there only part time. They are under the state and their own policy requirements but it doesn't feel enough. For my wife and I, the observed class is still a bit too stressful and in our opinion should be split up especially for an age range that undergoing a lot of changes. We liked the previous room he was in and would probably have liked the next after the 2-3 room.
