Springdale Education Center, Chicopee | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

Absolutely preposterous! A very unsafe and noisy environment. Staff are hired with absolutely no social skills, and are extremely unprofessional. Students are treated like animals, all due to small behavioral issues. My child would often come home with bruises, because the staff at Springdale Education Center feel that any sort of disrespect or attitude would be a form of the student being “unsafe,” and such would lead into an unnecessary restraint. Staff are extremely revengeful and feel that a restraint should be used towards causing pain to the child, in order for them to learn their lesson and not talk back. One popular form of punishment that the Springdale Education Center program would use on their students would be what they like to call a “shutdown.” They gather up an entire classroom, this is even including the children that have been behaving themselves, and force them to form a circle around a small room, and stand there without any seat for about half the School day, which is really defeating the purpose of education. While a shutdown is in progress, any sort of speaking or movement would lead into a rough body slam to the floor, or as they like to call it, a “restraint,” as well as a lot of unnecessary yelling. School is meant to be a safe learning environment, not a place of which students fear. I would have to give Springdale Education Center a large thumbs down. I do not recommend this program to any child that is in need of special attention.
