| - I walked into this "learning center" the other day thinking I'd check it out to see whether it might have activities our 3-year-old could participate in perhaps. He is autistic and sees a developmental pediatrician on one side of Kids Inc Learning Center and we are members of the We Rock the Spectrum Kid's Gym on the other side of Kids Inc Learning Center. Since this place is right smack in between them, I didn't think it was an odd thing to be going in to investigate or be asking about. Perhaps I'm not the first parent of a special needs child who has though because when I went in and explained this to the lady at the front desk and asked what her facility was all about, she seemed immediately annoyed and just flat out told me that they were a traditional "enrollment" daycare and that they "did not accept" special needs kids. WoW! It felt VERY COLD to me. "OOOOKAY," I answered in a state of shock and disbelief. I don't know if I was more shocked that they didn't take special needs kids because they were missing out on so much business due to where they were located or due to the cold manner in which she seemed to be staring at me completely uninterested in my business, in any further communication with me, and very obviously just wanted me to leave her company as soon as humanly possible.
I would have given it only 1 star, but I have to at least give the place credit in that it was extremely cool looking. If I were a young child, it would have looked very appealing with a large life-like tree at the entrance, jungle animals, etc. It just looked like a fun place to be. Also, from what I could see, it appeared quite clean though it was OBVIOUS there was no way I was going to be offered a tour. **sigh** What a shame.
