"This is the worst daycare I have ever encountered. When I first inquired about the daycare I told them my 3 year old son has ASD. In the beginning we were welcomed with open arms and told he would have the best quality of care and they would work with him. After about 3 months everything started to come to light. They required me to have a ABA therapist with him in the classroom at all times. Now I know my son can be a lot at times but aren’t all kids? On multiple occasions I see that they are not willing to help a child with behavior problems but shun them away and talk bad about them behind closed doors or when the parent isn’t around as I was told by his therapist. Instead of providing staff with training and skills to deal with kids with Autism as autism is becoming more and more apparent in the community. I don’t think they care about all the major progress he has mad as they just see him as an problem, which truly is not fair to my son. I’m a single young mother and doing what I can to raise and develop my son into an amazing human being. The fact that we have daycares like this in our city explains why the city is so violent and disturbed. From the beginning these young men have be pushed away and looked down on. And even as I’m sitting here late for work because my son cannot attend without his therapist which is running a little late. The supervisor is yelling at children saying “call your dad” boy responds “ I don’t have a dad” supervisor then goes on to say “everybody has a dad” and keeps repeating it over and over not listening to the The young man saying “ My dad don’t come around” smh so embarrassing. I swear I hate this place. Since his last week is already paid next week will be his last"
