Having this be our first child we shopped preschools extensively. We settled on CCCC after hearing good things and enrolled our son. He was in the 2's classroom and we had issues from the beginning.
Our son is nonverbal and is still working on his communication, so I understand he's harder to understand than other kids his age. Sharon kept making remarks that she thought he could be autistic or that me and my husband should take parenting classes. She also insisted that we go have his hearing retested, making us believe it would help his speech, so we did get exams done at Phoenix Children's, which he passed with flying colors. So other then it being a huge waste of time we were left with the bill.
Then the issue of the kids not being watched properly arose. One afternoon I got out of my car to pick him up and I heard him screaming at the top of his lungs on the playground. I ran over to him and asked the teacher what happened. She looked up from her phone smiling and said "oh he's fine he probably just got stuck up there" (on the playground) I just looked at her like seriously?! Why didn't a screaming child get your attention. You're literally in charge of 4 kids, you can't glance up from your phone for 2 seconds and make sure he's okay?
One evening during his bath I noticed he had a huge bite mark on his back. And I mean like a welt. You could see every tooth mark and the inside was all bruised. I asked all his teacher what happened and of course nobody saw anything but other teacher let me know there was a "biter in the class"
When I brought up his injuries to the director she replied that the kids were "probably in retaliation" like seriously?!!! My son was so bad that the kids were ganging on him to what? Teach him a lesson?
It was ridiculous.
The director is impossible to talk to. You say anything that's not perfectly positive about the school and she immediately turns it on your kid making it seem like everything's perfect except for your kid being there.
I wasn't going to have my son go to a place where he was being blamed for the schools problems. I pulled him out of school that morning and we haven't been back.
We've seen found a new school for him that's just miles above this place. They actually care how the kids interact with each other and don't let bad behavior multiply throughout the class. I've heard Biltmore Prep is a great school but CCCC is just not up to par with other preschools in the area.
So happy my son wasn't here any longer than he was.
