What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, February 10, 2023

I write this review to help other parents. In this school they have an evil person as the leader of the kindergarteners, someone who does not tolerate children and who behaves with hatred and contempt towards a 5-year-old child. There is something very wrong in a human being like that. This person should not dedicate herself to children because she does not have the patience and ethics to be around young age kids. The way this woman acts fits better to be in guantanamo. Unions protect these abusers so parents must warn others to protect their young children. Close Quote
