When I was searching for a daycare for my three years old, I picked Highland Learning Center as a possible choice, because location was close to my job. I read yahoo's reviews for this school and they were really bad, that was my biggest mistake, I enrolled my son into the school, were everyone was really kind and nice, I found out later on, that his teacher Mrs. Susan she seems overwhelmed most of the time she was with the kids, you can clear notice that she do not have any control of the kids. This school has a "Montessori method" well that method was not working at all, kids with different ages are blend into the classes, but no control overall, so is a 5 year old come and punch you son into the stomach and the teacher not even say a word, something is so wrong!!!! My son used to go to another school and he was so happy every morning, since I enrolled him in Highland Center just the idea of go there every morning was panicking him. More than once when my son ask his teacher that he needs to go to the bathroom she denied the permission, after that day, he was scared to go to the bathroom and just did it in his pants every day. I told my concerns to one of the administrators, and request them to switched him to another class. They denied that, well they do have a 2 weeks notice requirement for withdraw him to the school, but last time I was there and the teacher told me "I don't know what to do with him anymore, I tried everything but is not working", well after that comment was said, I was not feeling that I have continue exposing my son to people that cannot handle him, you are a certified teacher (I assume) and you cannot handle a 3 year old, I do not need to give you a 2 week notice, my son is not going there for two more weeks, when he was abused. He was not there for not even a month, and I have to pay enrolled fee that was around $150.00 and pay every 2 weeks the tuition, I cannot pay you for 2 more weeks , if my son is not going to be there, sorry. He is in a daycare now that I love, and he loves and the teachers are amazing, he goes to school everyday with a big smile in his face, and he never had a potty accident at all.I will filed a formal complaint against them because I want prevent other families to experience these.
