We enroll our children hoping they'd be safe. That wasn't true for this company. I trusted the program and enrolled my 7yo son. Only for him to tell me he had been hit in the face and kicked in the face. When I picked up my son, I said bye and thank you to the instructor, did he tell me about the incident, NOPE. I only found out as my son and I got in the car.
Upset and disheartened I went back in the classroom. I spoke to the instructor, he acknowledged hearing my son say, "You kicked me," and said the other child apologized.
An apology between two 7 yo does not replace safety.
I understand that children sometimes misbehave and that an instructor cannot prevent every single incident. What I do expect is adequate supervision.
the instructor could have separated my son with the other kid but he didn't. He told the other kid to say "sorry" and continued to let my son be bullied.
For a one week $250 program, I expected much better supervision, communication, and procedures for handling physical incidents between children. Do these instructors have any credentials to be around kids? Training? Doesn't seem like it.
The director didn't seem to care at all about my concern at all. But he did defend his staff, of course. Thanks Usman. read more
