    My daughter was in the beginner 2 program and everything started out great. A few months in every time I would pick her up at (half day) it would be total chaos, and there was often only 1 teacher with 14 or more 3 year olds. I was told there would always be 2 teachers in that class. I actually felt bad for the teacher, taking care of that many small children alone. She was always overwhelmed and frustrated, and often took it out of the children. I once witnessed her picking up a child and dropping them down on their bottom from about 2 feet up. At this point I sat down with the principle and explained my concerns about classroom size and the teachers frustration. She made excuse after excuse as to why there was 1 teacher with that many children. The state law is actually 10:1 for that age group. At $550/month for 2 half days for glorified chaotic babysitting, I couldn't justify the expense so we decided to remove our daughter. This could potentially be an amazing preschool, just check and drop in unexpectadly to make sure they are doing what they tell you they will...
