Do not enroll your child here. My son had an incident involving him having possession of an unknown pill and I wasn't notified until an hour after picking my son up from school. Not one teacher, mentioned a thing to me.I found out from the director. Not only that, but the director claimed the staff said my son stated he got the pill from home, But he tells me he found the pill at his schools playground. Oh yeah, the staff not only lied about calling me when it initially happened, but they also went as far as calling cps, stating that I told my son to eat the pill with cake. That is the dumbest statement I've ever heard. They said he wears old clothes with holes, and his skin is dry. My son is diagnosed with eczema, which was on his physical exam. I am still searching for the invisible holes in my sons clothes. Stay away from this headstart. If you have good family to help you with your children, that would be your best bet. Especially, if pills are being picked up and parents are not informed. Than you find out a worker tells cps that your child was instructed to take the pill with cake.If your child has severe eczema stay away from this facility. They have no knowledge of caring for a child with those conditions. The will tell cps his skin is dry. He has eczema. Of course its dry. Severe eczema exist in toddlers. Enroll your kids in a headstart where teachers are educated in that area.
