Unfortunately, they can not be held accountable for what happens there. Everything was wonderful, and I had no complaints until a serious incident occurred involving my daughter. As a father, I sought clarification from the school, but they have been avoiding me.
My daughter, a 5-year-old girl, was playing with the daughter of the school owner, Jessica Rodrigues. They are very good friends. When her son, a 12-year-old boy, wanted to use the same room with other kids, the little girls said they would not leave the room. In response, this boy grabbed my daughter by her shirt and dragged her down the hallway to her mother, who was in another room. It is interesting that he did this to my daughter and not to his own sister, of course.
When they arrived, she was crying, and my wife asked why she was all dirty. She replied that Jessica's son had dragged her down the hallway. Immediately, my wife reprimanded the boy, and everyone went their separate ways.
Weeks later, I learned about the incident and insisted on speaking with the school principal, Jessica Rodrigues, and the boy's father. A 12-year-old dragging a 5-year-old girl is not normal behavior and can be considered assault.
How can a school not have adults supervising the children? In any other school, this boy would have been punished, but apparently, this school lacks a code of conduct. This is unacceptable.
As a father, I have every right to seek assurance that this will not happen again; I would expect this at any school, or my daughter would not return there.
Until I can speak with the principal and the boy's parents, my daughter will not be going back to that school. My wife has tried to reach out to them, but they have said they do not want to speak with me. It is shocking that they can not be held accountable for such a serious incident.
What this boy did is considered assault, and I do not feel safe sending my daughter there. read more
