I do not recommend this center.

1/5

My child had an incident where she was hurt by twice at this center. She is special needs, and not able to communicate to us anything that happens at therapy, or any other day for that matter. She was thankfully able to say in one word she was hurt. I was not made aware of this at all by the school. They have a website for parents where every detail of the child's day is documented for the parents to see. Despite them admitting later, when confronted, that this was a major event in her day, they did not have it on the website, and told me she had a wonderful day. When I confronted them, they admitted she was hurt twice that day by two children. I was told these events had her upset for a considerable amount of time. I talked to two people who said there was two separate incidents in one day. They later said the therapist Yvette was new and probably just forgot. That is completely unnaceptable. If my child had not been able to say that one word, I do not know if I would have ever been made aware of this. Parents should ALWAYS be made aware of a child being hurt at school.
