I do not recommend this school if your child has special needs and/or ADHD.

I went to tour this school yesterday, they were very friendly and welcoming until I mentioned that my son is high energy and possible ADHD. That’s when the whole demeanor changed. Ms. Rita proceeded to tell me that they don’t hesitate to let the child go if they are a problem. She told me she is not trained to handle “those behaviors”.

I then met with the director Ms. Lilly who was also very friendly until I addressed the concern of my child possibly having ADHD. She proceeded to tell me stories of how they have let children go within the first week and how any child who can’t thrive at her school, is better off seeking care from a public school who are better equipped to handle “those behaviors”. She ended this conversation with “but we welcome all children”. Sure did not seem like it lol.

So, if your child has any needs outside of the norm, I would steer clear of this school.

Words can’t explain how happy I am with this daycare. My children have been so happy being here. My daughter’s speech was delayed by far for her age. I was told she needed speech therapy but with our busy work schedule it made it hard to bring her, thank God for Ms.Rita’s education and experience with kids, she was able to help my daughter’s speech improved by far. Now my daughter and I enjoys long phone conversations while I’m on the road. Ms Lily has been very pleasant to work with when it comes to keeping us in the loop with our children’s best interest. My son is so happy now with his care givers. Again my words can’t explain enough how happy I have been with all care givers and staff at Gunn Kindercare.
