Please check on your kids here. I was sexually molested when I was 5 by an older boy. He was able to hide me behind a bench on the playground and make me do things. Somehow the teachers never found out. It went on for weeks till I told my nana. I also faced neglect by a sub when I was younger, I got stuck on top of the monkey bars and no one would help me get down and when I jumped I dislocated my ankle and have problems till this day from it. I'm 16 now and have been searching for this place to warn other people. I loved Mrs goins and Mrs tara but they need to watch the kids better please
lele saultsAug 16, 2025My son attended children's first last year. Mrs Tara and Mrs Goins were his teachers. Jaiveen absolutely loved them. He learned so much and had fun at the same time. Both Mrs Tara and Mrs Goins went above and beyond to make his learning experience the best. They got him all prepared for kindergarten!!! I couldn't have asked for better teachers for his first learning experience. It's teachers like them that make school a great time for kids. I am excited to send my youngest daughter to headstart this coming fall because of the experience my son had. I hope she has just as much fun as he did. Thank you Mrs Tara and Mrs Goins for the great year my son had last year...
