[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought they were very difficult to deal with pre-admissions.  I got different answers regarding the waiting list from different people and they seemed very cold and "corporate".  I got the distinct impression that they did not care about the child and only cared about money.[/quote]
Could not be more true.  [/quote]

My child was there for two years, so I will vouch for this. They are a corporations with traded shares first and foremost, and a family solutions center secondly. They hire lead teachers with degrees and the majority else are barely HS graduates. That wouldn't be a big deal except that the curriculum they throw at you is implemented by the masses of teachers, one of whom wrote "Today we be carvin punkins" on my child's information sheet. I saved that, since that was what my $1800 bought me.

You can't 'make' employees love or want to invest in your child, since so many of them come from places in D.C. that would break your heart. While their children are in third-rate daycares or with family members who don't provide the structured activities their mother is supposed to be giving your child, your 'stranger' child lives a molly-coddled life that most of these women can only dream of. The only individuals who can often afford benefits like healthcare are lead teachers, who have degrees. One employee from the toddlers room put it this way during an argument with a fellow employee "Why you be all up on me for doing my thing when no one be givin us nothin when we kids?"  [/quote]
