It’s so unfortunate how horrible the school is. There is one teacher there specifically by the name of Miss Linda who is extremely rude and rough to the children. I have walked in on her being rough with the children and screaming in their face as they’re crying scared almost every single day. The last day I took my son there I couldn’t even leave him there I ended up calling the police as well as stay on this woman because of the abuse that I saw in the school. If you’re thinking about putting your child in the school I would strongly suggest that you reconsider.
The Staff at first steps are always so friendly and happy!!
