Parents' Comments
Parent #1
The teachers don't communicate with one another very well, like when my sons teacher leaves him with another teacher after she leaves for the day. He gets left with another teacher that "doesn't deal with the younger kids". His teacher tells me how great he's doing, but then when I pick him up it's completely different.
When he doesn't want to eat what they give him to "try" they wont give him anything else.
This place is ideal for kids that can talk clearly and communicate with their parents. I wish my son could tell me what happens during the day there, but I have no way of knowing.
