Reviews of San Diego Center for Children
"Great school! Caring staff, appreciate all that they do for our community"
"Former foster youth that went there, horrible place for children looking for mental help. The kids that awol from there have a reason why they ran away or tried too, the staff likes to see how far they can push buttons until needing to be physical and restrain a child because they are responding to mistreatment. Not all the staff are bad , there are a small few that actually cares but as for the rest, they see the kids as doller signs. I remember a certain staff member that would harass me constantly for my spiritual beliefs at the time and she even threw a softball to my face when I was walking around the court, she said it was a accident but all the witnesses said she was playing catch with some one and saw me and threw the ball directly at behind her at me and I was behind her at the Time . That staff was miss. April (I’m not sure if she still works there) staff will also lie about the level up system. If you are minding your program and trying to get to the highest level, staff will lie to drop you to the lowest level and watch how you respond and then discipline you for reacting because you don’t understand why you are on the lowest level for no reason . The Clark side is the worse. There are better programs out there for children, this place will just traumatize them ."
"As a past employee, the center is decent, most staff member care although the over turn in staffing is terrible and the residential side overworks the employees due to shortage in staff. I my self worked over 110 hours in two pay period and one of my past coworkers worked over 150 hours in a two week pay period mind you they don’t give breaks only if you ask and if they are short staffed that day your not getting a break .( work 8,12,14 or 16) hour shifts) Supervisor and lead supervisor are definitely the reason for the turn over due to the disrespect they give their staff. As far as the treatment the youth are required to attend groups as well as therapy Monday-Saturday is treatment days and they have occasional outings on the weeks for youth that can stay safe. The facility does a have bug problem due to being built next to a canyon other wise the facility is clean. Working here was definitely rewarding."
"My name is Anette and I’m 14. I was a patient here from April 18th to June 2nd. Most of the staff were so helpful. They treated us like “normal” mentally healthy kids. A few staff were a bit too stuck up on rules, but most of them were so kind and empathetic. The school there had such kind and understanding teachers, always ready to lend you coping mechanisms when needed. My therapist, Ms. Michelle, was so sweet and kind. She helped me so much in my recovery. She helped me learn that its okay to put myself first, and that it wasn’t my responsibility to help everyone else with their issues when I’m dealing with my own. She helped me learn the difference between caring and putting someone else before me. I had so many favorites when it came to staff. Ms. Bailey, Ms. Shelly, Ms. Jessa, Mr. Clarence, Ms. Yesenia, Mr. Joe, Ms. Neesha… it goes on and on. I wont say its the most perfect place, but it truly did help me. My parents had me in the waiting list for 3 residentials. They prayed that the best one would open up first, and it was this one. And God, their prayers worked. I met good and bad people, i made friends. I met great people, and they truly made me feel understood. I will never forget how this place quite literally saved my life. It isn’t perfect and the food sucked like 99% of the time, but it was perfect enough for me. It helped me. It saved me. I didnt even want to leave. When it was time for me to go, i sobbed and cried, begging to stay. I had so much fun here and it made me happy. But it wasn’t just fun of course, it was helpful. So so very helpful. I started eating again and i fixed my sleeping schedule. Its all ruined now because of how sudden my parents pulled me out, but this place had me feeling the most relieved, free, and happiest I’ve ever been. Thanks to you, i finally had a good happy summer. I haven’t felt this way in 4 years. I truly recommend this place. It had activities everyday, and those helped me a lot. It would distract me from bad thoughts. They werent always fun, but they were helpful. They had a gaming room with a nintendo switch, a ps4, two computers, and a tv. It was always the highlight of my weekend going there. The outings were so much fun. It helped me get used to the outside world a little more. I got passed so I could leave for a few hours and spend time with my family. But the people staying there were like a family to me. A big messed up family who was always there to help each other. Its different for everyone, but it was wonderful for me. Id recommend coming or sending someone here. But beware, the school has just as much drama as any other one. There were a few fights during my stay. Still had a hell of a good time. I miss the family I built there"
"My name is Julian Carter now and I was here 2 years ago, thus place was amazing. I made friends, I got along with staff and even though some of the staff were a bit strict, that Was what made it fun. I totally recommend it but some kids can be a bit rude at the start but you warm up easily. I’ve gotten punched and my hair pulled but we were all joking around. I think things like this is what made everybody feel close and like a family. We’d get in argument but forgave afterwards. It’s super cool and i didnt even want to leave. This is my experience and it’s different for others but overall, I want to go back there believe it or not. There are also various activities during the day and they take peanut allergies seriously. There is also a gaming room with a couple Nintendo switches, a PlayStation, and various computers. I expect great thing for this place and it can help many other kids"
