I have a fairly normal kid (4 years old) with a bit of a temper. Enrolled him after leaving our previous daycare, and explained the situation. He had a pretty good week for 3 weeks, then threw a tantrum. I was called to pick him up, and told he was no longer welcome.
The director actually captured a video of the tantrum. Screaming sobbing 4 year old, and a pack of old ladies standing around looking at him like he was a broken lawn mower. No consolation, no attempt to communicate. Just standing around with one of them taking a phone video.
The director insisted that my child needed to be medicated for his "biological behavioral condition."
He's in an actual kindergarten now and doing just fine. No meds, just needed a little guidance.
They certainly kept my registration fee, even though we only went for 3 weeks. read more
