Early Start Learning Center

I strongly encourage parents to carefully reconsider before enrolling their child at this facility. My child has a speech delay, and when I enrolled him, I did so with trust and high hopes. The owner was a family friend, and I genuinely believed my son would be supported in a nurturing and patient environment. I openly expressed my concerns about placing him in school due to his speech delay, and I was reassured that he would be fine and properly cared for. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. Shortly after drop-off sometimes within 30 minutes I would receive daily phone calls reporting behavioral issues such as taking toys, screaming, or not listening. Instead of working collaboratively to support his development, it often felt as though I was being called simply to complain rather than problem-solve. I also observed what I believe to be a lack of patience and understanding toward young children, particularly those who may require extra support. There were occasions where my child remained in a soiled diaper or pull-up longer than I felt was appropriate, and I did not see meaningful efforts toward encouraging potty training. Additionally, I was spoken to in a manner that I found disrespectful. I was told that my child needed a special needs school and that there was nothing further they could do for him. As a parent seeking partnership and support, this was deeply discouraging. Since enrolling my son in a new school, he has made tremendous progress and is thriving in ways I was always confident he could. The difference in environment, patience, and encouragement has been clear. Every parent wants their child to feel safe, understood, and supported. Based on my experience, I did not feel that this facility provided that for my son.
