I have used this provider for more than 6 months

If I could give this school negative stars I would. This school should be shut down and all the people running the school should never be able to work with children of any kind ever again. I have two special needs sons, they both attended building blocks. My oldest son Christopher came home on four different occasions with signs that someone was either abusing him or being neglectful of him. I confronted the school several times and then after no results and taking him to the Dr and the Dr telling us to call CPS and special victims, we did and the school retaliated by kicking my son out (two months ago). Then building blocks kicked our younger son out as well, without any rhyme or reason except that it is retaliation in regards to us going to the authorities in regards to our older son being abused and neglected at school. There are a few good apples there, but more that are not. So if I was you I wouldn't send my child to a place where their safety and well being were not being protected, instead they were being abused and neglected and when you went to talk to Donna (the head) she brushed it off like nothing and was more worried about the reputation of the school than protecting child with special needs. SO WATCH YOUR CHILDREN VERY CAREFULLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
