I share this to hopefully bring light to some of the actions of Miss Deanna's teachers and the unprofessional way it was handled once it was brought to the directors attention. In no way am I trying to publicly name names of other students, but hopefully other parents will see this and demand better for their families.About 2 wks ago my child was placed in the preschool I classroom at Miss Deanna's and for the 1st wk she came home happy/normal. Nothing for me to be concerned about. It wasn't until I met her full time teacher did my concerns arise. I normally get to the daycare early before this woman arrives and pick my daughter up late in the pm after this woman leaves for the day. The first time I met her she was acting erratic and noticeably was on drugs. But I thought I was being a little overprotective/paranoid so I brushed it off. It wasn't until yesterday 8/16/19, that my suspicions were confirmed. Her demeanor was once again erratic, pupils dilated, talking a thousand miles a minute, etc. I did not need a drug test to know she was methed out. At the time, the director was not there so I asked for her to give me a call back. At that point I knew I wasn't comfortable with my daughter being there so just wanted to give the director of this facility a heads up that one of her teachers is obviously high and that I was going to be removing my child from the facility. Therefore I left to go pick up my other daughter from school and on the ride over I asked my two year old if she liked this teacher...my daughter can articulate pretty well for her age, few words in her sentences, and is very expressive with her attitude...When I asked her the question she got quiet and turned her head away. I asked her again if she liked her teacher to which she responded, she's scary. Asked her why she is scary and without hesitation said she hit me. I asked her where did she hit you, at that point she acted out the motions of being slapped on the knee, hit on the side of the head and she then grabbed her own hair and started pulling herself to the side. Then, most appropriately called her a snake. My two year old acted out the abuse and said "Megan's snake." My daughter was obviously frightened and at this point my blood is boiling. Right on cues, the director called me back and when I told her these accusations, explaining that I am fully aware of the seriousness of these allegations and it is not something that I want to throw loosely around, before jumping the gun and calling the police, I requested to view the security tapes. To which she replied Friday is not the greatest day, Friday afternoon for her is the busiest day of the week because tuition payments are due and there will be hundreds of parents coming in and out of her office, she stated she doesn't want to push me off but if it were a Friday am or a Thursday she could do it but she would rather wait until Monday... right.Told her I would wait till Monday and also remove my child from this facility because I come to you with abuse allegations and you tell me to wait till Monday b/c you have payments to make. She backtracked real quick and said no no I'm not saying you can't come there's just going to be a lot of people coming in and out. Called my child's father who met me there and then sat down to watch the footage.Mind you it's hours worth of tape so we asked to speed the video up till the point where the afternoon teacher came in, she is younger and seems a little more naive and would be complacent in the actions of the teacher accused, Megan. Within 5 minutes we witnessed her yank a child out of his cot and toss him to the side, she also noticed another child's shoe fell off during nap time and proceeded to spank him with his shoe. She then gets into this child's face and starts yelling at him. The director turns off the video, saying she's seen enough, we brought up wanting to press charges to which she replied the police don't really help in these situations but she will personally call DHR. Knowing that's absolute garbage we immediately filed a police report. Since we did not see our child physically harmed in that short clip, the police could not arrest this woman immediately. Though a report has been filed and will be followed up with DHR. This is all around a horrible situation to which I feel for all those involved, I do not feel the director of this establishment had any ill will or malice in the way she handled this situation, nor do I think this experience reflects the other outstanding teachers who work here, but it could have been handled a lot better than it was. And if it took only 5 minutes worth of video to see behavior that, without question, does not belong anywhere near students, who knows what else could have happened that we didn't see. Please demand more for your children. read more
