My 3 year old son started here after going to a wonderful montessori/waldorf inspired school (we were in part time and the school was very expensive) so we were told by a friend that YC was a good school to place a child in full time. Jackie was welcoming in the beginning, but once our son was in (about a week) they called me while at my job and told me that my son was misbehaving and that they didn't tolerate physical children in their school. When I went to get him they sat me in a chair and told me that I needed to take all of his priviledges away when i got him home and that I should contact his pediatrician. The next day I got a call that I needed to pick him and as well as his things. I was livid. I cried for two days. They made me feel like I was a bad parent. My husband called them up and had a few words with them, but he kept his cool and was very professional, unlike them. The week he was in there I would see the teachers just sitting there not interacting with the children at all. All they do is sit in a chair and look at their nails. No kidding. What kind of atmosphere is that for a child? Children need inspiration, understanding and lots of stimulation. This school is rediculous and unprofessional. I called a montessori school and several other schools and told them what had happened and they couldn't believe how unprofessional YC was. We now have him at great school where the teachers are degreed, certified and have an understanding for all children . He is loved and respected and is so happy. I would not recommend this school to anyone at all unless you have a perfect little angel that will keep there mouths shut and like to play alone with zero stimulation. Like they say, you get what you pay for!
Pros: nothing at all
Cons: rude staff, unprofessional, worst school EVER
