Puritas Head Start Center

When you first go in to see this Head Start, you think WOW!!! They tell you exactly what you want to hear and sale the place like a perfect school for your child that has cameras for safety factors. They were all very friendly in the beginning, but when my daughter started acting out in class and telling me things that the teachers would would tell her. Of course when these things were addressed no one had any idea on why my daughter would make up such a lie but she was only 2 years old. So we used all their available resources to help my daughter get back on tract. The outside help is wonderful, but it's pointless when the teachers at the facility have no patience with your child and completely burnout from teaching . One day I decided to go pick my daughter up a little earlier ,so I went around the back way to observe my daughter's behavior though the parent glass, because I would always hear about my daughter's terrible behavior that I never witness and that she would only have at the facility and nowhereelse. I started watching though the glass and while I did 3 teachers where sitting on one side of the room watching my daughter and another child fight and told the other child to push my daughter on the ground until I banged on the glass for it to stop. When I came around to ask the teachers why they're letting them fight, one teacher said because were not aloud to break it up, and since I was watching did I observe my daughter running around the class prior to that???? What does that even have to do with it? The other teacher says well she hit him first, even if that was the case why are you letting them fight, break it up!.....so of course everything I said was a lie and guess what the camera weren't working, so i was unable too prove what happened. No one got in any trouble it was their word against mine, so their best solution they could give me is change classes or location. Please don't take your child here. I feel like my daughter's first impression about school was ruined by the bully group of teachers that work there. I am still trying to get my daughter back to where she started off. If I could give this place no stars I would, but site won't let me.

I have no issues with this place my daughter has been going there for 2 months now, as a parent they are very patient with my child who was very spoiled from not being in a day care, they put in a lot of time with her they go on filed trips and they are teaching her structure of how to be organized and follow directions has a concerned parent I call to check on her and the teachers will let you speak with your child if you want and they encourage you to call I speak vet highly of the teachers there and they care about your kids and you feel safe as a parent they are in good care. any parent looking to send your kid here you should feel safe and it is a very diversed environment

All I can say about this Head Start is that it is misleading. My daughter is now in Kindergarten and she is suffering from not having learned anything at the Head Start. The whole point of Head Start is to prepare your child for Kindergarten and I can honestly say that this place was a waste of time. My daughter's teacher was biased and had no patience whatsoever. She was often scared of her teacher because kids can sense when someone is annoyed with them or not. Other classrooms seemed wonderful, but not my daughter's class. My advice to you is if you are trying to prepare your child for Kindergarten look for a reputable Preschool and do not waste your time with this place because your child will struggle in Kindergarten.

This is a horrible place to send your kids!!! Every week my child will get a bruise or hurt and when you ask the staff about it. They have no clue or will not acknowledge the accident. They have cameras and will not let you have a copy of the accident! Horrible Place! I would give a negative -1000000 if I could!

My daughter goes here been here for a while now and she loves it she comes home singing song taking field trips ... the staff are nice n when there is a problem they call me to let me know what's going on .... great school
