I have a PreK3 student enrolled at this educational facility and while his teacher was exceptional; I found the administration as a whole to be a complete and utter disappointment. These individuals lack respect and empathy for the community of parents and children that they serve. It has been my experience that these individuals push and prod parents and students alike and then run and hide behind their fancy titles in an effort to present as educational professionals, when in fact they are not. It is my belief that the principal of this facility, has her work cut out for her if she continues to support her subordinates even when she knows that their actions go against (1) the school's overall mission statement and (2) her own better judgment.
