We had an absolutely horrific experience with our daughter at this school. Beginning with the second day of school, our three-year-old asked to use the bathroom during lunch. She was told she should have gone before lunch and was not allowed to go. Ultimately she pooped in her pants which she has not done for two years! Who doesn’t let a child use the bathroom?? Then yesterday she was crying during lunch, most likely due to the trauma she experienced earlier in the week. The director Diana told us she tried consoling her but that our child “couldn’t pull herself together“ and she was sent down to sit in the office after being told that “no one wants to hear you cry“. First of all, it is not my child’s job to know how to “pull herself together“ during a very new and scary experience. That is your job as a preschool to help them transition through this with love and kindness. She was afraid of the lunchroom experience with this woman and literally had anxiety prior to having to go to lunch with her. Sending her to an office alone is completely inappropriate not to mention unsafe! We were told somebody was there but my understanding is that it was the woman sitting in the reception area, not in the office with my child, who ultimately cried herself to sleep on the couch because she was so afraid. My heart is broken for my child and I seriously hope she is not permanently scarred from preschool. I now have to start this process over and try to make her feel safe at school. I will say her teacher Miss Jessica was wonderful and very kind and loving. However the director Diana should not be allowed to deal with children in any manner!
