My child didn’t last a full two weeks before he was traumatized, I’m not sure what happened and I probably won’t find out until he starts to talk. My child is non verbal but can express himself very well. He told me they adults there were hitting him on the leg, the staff there told me it “might” be because they “force” him to sit criss cross apple sauce, she later retracted her comments and said she used another word instead of force, not sure what other word that could have been used instead, make? Either way they later changed their mind about showing me the cameras when he was there a half day the day before, not even a full day, the police said they couldn’t do anything if he didn’t have bruises and blood. Everytime I am on western his memory is triggered and begs me to not take him back. He came back home in his change of clothes every other day, when he can express very well. He doesn’t urinate on himself under my care. His shorts and shirt, were both wet every other day, if he had an accident why is his shirt urinated too? I don’t understand. He has since been going to a new day care close to a month, not once needed a change of clothes and not once did he have a melt down about not going in besides the first day since this daycare left him traumatized, and untrusting of adults, don’t take your children here if you don’t support corporal punishment especially if your child is non verbal. I took him here for convenience and close proximity, but my child paid the price.

Honestly this daycare has no communication what so ever! They moved my daughter to another class without letting me know anything about her transitioning. Majority of them kids mainly the boys have anger and hitting problems they kept putting they hands on my daughter, my daughter is 3years old and she tells me everything. I tried to have a meeting to discuss the situation and the director Ms. Sutton was very rude and impolite towards the problem And caught an attitude about my concerns, really acted like she didn’t care. The meeting was Very Unprofessional. There really isn’t ANY extra curriculum goin on there at the school all my daughter was use to doin was dancing and watching tv, which was very disturbing to me, I didn’t feel comfortable at all and on top of that The owner always seemed like she had an attitude and was mad about something. Personally this daycare was not a good fit for me nor my daughter that’s why I decided to take my child else where.
