Review content:
I've never posted a review online. But today for the sake of my child and his peers that fact is changing in hopes that no one else's child should fall victim to bullying the way that mine has. I enrolled my son in August 2010 and I was pleased until what should have been the #1 issue?SAFETY?took a backseat to policy, protocol, and poor judgement. I was called to come and get my son and to be prepared to a doctor immediately because he had bitten his tongue. Upon arriving at the school I learned that it was not an accident but an incident that another child caused. When I asked if it had taken place due to a conflict the director described it as ""normal 2 year old behavior""- later found out it was the furthest thing from ""normal"" My son's well being was the first issue & I would deal with other circumstances later. My son had been hit with such force that he nearly severed the tip of his tongue off completely. Through his discomfort he shared with me the name of the child who did it. This is a child who on one occasion bit 6 out of 9 peers in one day!!! A few days later he attacked the 7th victim, a little girl had a large blue bite mark that covered the majority of her face for over a week. When he decided to attack my son (who at the age of 2 can sense this child's instability and knows to keep his distance which was how he was one out of 2 that did not get bitten) he jumped over another child to pounce on top of mine to push him to the ground. My son never saw it coming. He sitting in circle time. no time to move. no warning to brace himself for a 30 pound impact so strong that caused him to bite through his tongue. After attacking my son he moved on to another child who also hit his head and needed an ice pack afterwards. And after 7 kids getting bitten (6 in one day), My son nearly biting through his tongue, and another toddler experiencing a blow to the head which happens to house a brain that is still developing like the rest of the 2 year olds THE BULLY REMAINS ENROLLED. I understand that in certain businesses there is protocol but when protocol and cloudy judgement allow other children to remain endangered then its time for the community to be informed that the tolerance level for misbehaving is hazardously high. the school continues to allow this child to be disruptive and make the environment for learning unsafe and less than conducive. The commitment to trying to help the child comes at the expense of other babies' well being. It is my belief that as long as there is a high tolerance for such behavior not only are the children at risk, they're development could potentially be effected. These children are already going into ""bully protection"" mode. Some are taking on the behavior while others' self-esteem and sense of security is effecting their spirits. When the entire body is being attacked the only thing to do is to CUT OUT THE CANCER! The policy at this institution is to love the cancer, give it a shadow/extra teacher so that our tuition dollars can go to rehabilitation of a 2 1/2 year old criminal in the making instead of to our own children. They send specialists to the cancer. And until the cancer decided its wants to yield, the rest of us just have to deal and pray that it doesn't choose to zero in our children on that given day.Today I walked. My child is out of harm's way but it pains me to think there are other's who are not. And it is for that reason that I am choosing not to go quietly. It is my obligation as a mother to fellow parents to keep you informed of such mishaps that could potentially be very harmful to your children. Consider this post a member of ""the village"" that is helping to look after your children sounding the warning alarm. The teachers are GREAT. But I dare NOT put my child in the middle of a structure where the foundation is shaky. There needs to be strong reconsideration of how things are done at the top.
