If I could I would give them no stars I though this school was great I had my oldest come here an did loved it but with my second child I had issues since the beginning. I put him in toddler program and was placed at a different location because they assumed that’s what I wanted. At the chamberline location the director was a control freak and got upset because I didn’t let her know about an evaluation my son was getting for early Intervantion but I told the teacher in the morning i guess they didn’t have communication and the director freaked out treated me and the evaluator like we were little kids who got in trouble yelling at us in the hall way and then walking around close by while getting the evaluation for my son. I complained to the staff at the Haledon location and told them I didn’t want my child to go there anymore so they had no choice and moved him to Haledon where he was suppose to be since the beginning. My son through out this whole time he was receiving early intervention. At some point of the school year this lady I think Ms William wanted a meeting and it all started because I asked what had happened to my son he had a bruise on his eye. That had happened on a Friday and no one said anything until I asked on the following Tuesday. No one knew what happened and this lady overheard and said to me “ someone from the office will contact you to have a meeting I think this environment is too overwhelming for ..( my son) “ and so I had the meeting walked in there to getting complains about how my son was too “challenging” I felt attacked they said they cared for him but wanted to. KNow what my plans were because he was going to turn 3 and if he got an IEP then he needed a smaller class and an aide and they didn’t have that I didn’t know anything yet I was barely starting the process with the district and they were complaining about my child and this lady Ms William keapt hitting the table and pushing her body back to the chair nodding her head because i didn’t have a plan and keapt saying my son was to challenging and he had all this people coming to the center for therapies she asked if he had session at home I replied yes and she pushes her self back in disbelieve making me feel as if my son was so sick and in such bad shape I left that meeting and cried in my car, and they never explained what happened to His face and why he had a bruise on his eye. Fast forward just last week they kicked him out of the center just because he is turning 3 in a few weeks and if he gets the IEP they don’t want to deal with it I feel they just discriminate kids with disabilities and pick and choose what kids they want at their center. It sad I was so mad I felt they were judging my child. Don’t go there if you have a child with delays or special needs they don’t want them there. The teachers were amaizing but the office staff are inept.

This place is a mess. Teachers has no manners to talk to students. Not all of them. And u will notice Your kids come home with bruises. And they Don't have any answer for that.

Mr ron Williams is very disrespectful and unprofessional towards parents. And when asked to speak to someone above him. He's responds is that he is the boss and what he says boss. They discriminate with kids that has a disability delay
