We were so excited for our daughter to start in this school, we went two months prior and were pleased with the school in general. She started on January 4th 2022, the entire staff was aware that it was a first time for my 3year old daughter. She appeared to have a good time that first day because everything was new and she looked happy, they never introduced us to the teacher though, we don't really know her name, don't know anything about her. The second day was a complete different story, she arrived very happy and excited and that was everything that really mattered to us, however, when I went to pick her up it was obvious that she had been crying because of the way she was breathing so I asked the lady that brought her to me (not her teacher) and she said that she wasn't crying that she was fine. I tried to ask my daughter at the moment but she didn't want to talk, I then asked again the director about her day and she said that she had a wonderful day so I left not too convinced. When we got to the car my daughter started crying like I had never seen her before and telling me that she didn't like school anymore and that she didn't want to go back, I tried to talk to her but she wasn't being very specific so I went back inside and tried to get some information about what happened during the morning. The director CALLED the teacher (no, I never talked to her in person) and her answer was that she was perfectly fine and happy all day and that she didn't cry for one second the only thing was that she didn't like when they HAD to sit down and do activities (even though We were told that they didn't make them do activities if they don't want to, remember it was her SECOND DAY IN HER LIFE outside her home) but that she never cried, which I knew it was a lie because I know the way my daughter breathes, obviously. When we got home I talked to my daughter when she calmed down and she was repeating that the teacher was very angry and that she was screaming because she didn't want to eat her food (???????).
******Please BE AWARE, I'm just writing this review so other families don't have to go through this nightmare, they get away with stuff like this all the time (I used to work in a very low quality preschool and this experience was like a deja vu) and it is important that we speak up. Miami is full of people and teachers like the ones mentioned before, TRUST your kids because they are wiser than what you think and let's take better care of our future generations.
Ps: I wrote a review on google and they apparently deleted or hid it so I'm posting here. read more
