DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO BEDFORD DISCOVERY SCHOOL IN BEDFORD HILLS NEW YORK!! The Directors and Teachers appear nice on the surface but are quite the opposite. The quality of the teachers are extremely poor. I signed my daughter up thinking she was going to a healthy safe environment. After 4 days of careful observation I immediately pulled her out due to observations around Neglect, mental abuse and in appropriate discipline.
Examples:
- Saw a child fall on the play ground. The teach did NOT pick her up to see if she was ok. Instead, she just told her to get up. The child got more upset and through a toy. The teacher reacted by grabbing her by the arms in a very rough way, plopped her on the edge of the sand box and told her to sit there and she couldn’t play.
- Saw a child crying becuase he was scared of the lawn mowers while outside. The teacher left him crying, did not comfort him and made a comment to one of the other teachers that he couldn’t deal with him anymore
- Saw a teacher yelling at the top of her lungs at the children to sit down at the edge of the carpet if they wanted to go outside. One of the toddlers was slow to sit down. She immediately yelled at him that if he didn’t get there now she would make him sit alone.
- Saw the teacher make my child sit alone against the wall with no lunch while all the other kids were eating lunch to punish her for spilling her water.
- The teachers give “time outs” to 2 year olds. May not be the form of discipline everyone agrees with, but it’s happening there even though the director says they are not supposed to.
Every Toddler looked so sad. Lots of crying happening. If you choose to send your child here to alot of discrete observations first before giving them your deposit because they will NOT give your deposit back regardless of the situation.
cool links, thanks!,
BE CAREFUL WITH GROWING TOGETHER CHILD CARE & LEARNING CENTER IN ORLANDO, FL. (843 Woodbury Rd, Orlando, FL 32828)
Be careful with the administration of this day care. You think your kids are safe but they usually hire “teachers” with no certificates or experience to be in charge of the kids. They are regular people trying to find any type of jobs. Very bad management and not to be trusted.
