      The center is at the *** *** XXXXX but is owned by the same people. They changed the way people could pay and we are now being forced to pay through an app called Brightwheel. I have attempted to pay my balance but the app keeps saying error and will not allow me to pay. This has been going on for two weeks and I have communicated that with the daycare director as well as offered to bring in a check for payment. I have also emailed the brightwheel app to try and get assistance. I was told I could not bring in a check and was not offered any assistance on a way to pay from either the daycare or brightwheel. I just spoke with the Preschool Director ***** again last night and showed her that the app wasn't working in person and she said she would talk to her boss and then get back with me. I did not hear anything until today at 12:30 when I received a message that they were refusing to pick my child up from school due to not receiving a payment, however; I have been trying to pay for 2 weeks now and they have not offered any help or alternative payment methods. By leaving a 6 year old child with down syndrome, autism and other extreme disabilities at school this put him at a safety risk and emotional distress as a schedule is extremely important to him. This is NOT the first time the center has put him in danger. **** has a sensory disorder and will not wear shoes. I have told them not to let him run around on the playground without shoes on as I have seen broken glass on the playground before. In July they allowed him on the playground without shoes and he got a cut on his foot that got infected. I asked for their insurance and they never gave it to me. I had to ask multiple times just to get an accident report. **** has hirshbrungs disease and sensitive skin. It is vital his pull up is changed when wet/dirty otherwise he can get a rash/infection if left to long. He has gotten a rash and infection due to them not changing him regularly.

      They have a very high turn over of teachers. My granddaughter was asked to leave due to disruptive behavior and that they have done all they could for my granddaughter. My granddaughter has an emotional disability and they all knew it and only when the new teacher came in was she ever written up and asked to be removed from the classroom. And as far as them doing all they could for my granddaughter... she had started to write her name which she had never done before. Several times I had walked into the room where there were too many children in the class, with only one teacher. In my opinion they just didn't want a child with any disability to be bothered with so she the new teacher could teach a perfect classroom. I had previously asked that my granddaughter be moved to another classroom. But they always put the 3,4 and 5's in the same classroom due to being short handed. Unexceptionable!

      Hi there Renee - As discussed at length, we are eternally apologetic that we were unable to provide care for your child. As a early childhood education facility, we can at times cater our services to children with special needs but are also unable to offer care for all children especially when they pull time away from our teachers ability to care for other children. This presents a danger and disservice to other students in our classroom. We discussed your daughters needs with you a number of times and while we were unable to support you we are hopeful that we made a small difference in her life and educational journey.

      Regarding staffing, we have been very upfront with all of our parents regarding the staffing challenges that are currently plaguing the early childhood education market and are actively working on recruiting, hiring and training every day.

      While we have already and continuously offered to discuss your situation further in order to offer advice and services that may better suit your granddaughters needs, we are still here to do so if we can be supportive at all. We also would be open to offering your granddaughter an opportunity to re-enroll if you would be interested in hiring a dedicated full-time support for her to be watched at all times.

      Again - Our sincerest apologies and we wish you and your granddaughter the best.
