What Parents Say
Open Hearts and Minds Learning Center has received overwhelmingly negative reviews citing serious concerns including child neglect, inadequate meals, fraudulent government funding practices, and staff mistreatment. One review references a child death in 2017, while others allege physical injury cover-ups and financial misconduct. A single 3/5 review appears to be a retraction of previous concerns.
Is zero stars an option? I was a part of this facility only because when it was sold to them, I was already employed by the previous owners. The director would be cooking breakfast in the mornings to imply that the children were fed a hot meal, but in actuality it was for herself and the owner. The children frequently ate cheerios with diced pineapple on it. Lots of illegal activity took place here with government funding. Students being recorded as present, but hadn't been in attendance for weeks at a time to ensure they still received the money from CAPS. When I began to reported the action, they terminated me for "allowing the children to say grace that was not approved (What does that even mean?), and failing to report an incident on the playground" when in fact it was the director who refused to come to the classroom when I called out to her. (The incident was reported same day, but only when she came to relieve me from my classroom because they didn't need me for the remainder of the day. Oh, and the parent was never informed.) They never relieved me for rest periods or to utilize the restroom. As a matter of fact, they told me I could no longer use the staff restroom and could only use the one in the hallway (that the 5yr old children used.) I was the only teacher licensed in the entire facility. They stole hours from me to keep from paying me for my time. Glad to have been unlawfully terminated when I was. Hope they've made some type improvement.
