I first heard about them in yelp reviews

here's the link to the DSS reports themselves

At least 2 possibly 3 teachers were involved in grabbing children's arms, yanking them around and digging there nails into there arms, my daughter sported similar behavior making it at least 4 teachers, only 1 got fired.
The first picture they posted online is of kids drying off from playing in the water, it was over 90 degrees that day and the asphalt was probably over 140, my daughter told me that her feet got burned that day.
The second picture is another one they posted online, the other teacher got cut out but they were both supposed to be wearing masks, they yelled at kids when they didnt and yet 1 teacher has hers down, this same teacher was involved in many other incidents.
Some of the main issues were they claimed to be a school to wealthy foreigners visiting for awhile but then a day care when they just needed a baby sitter all day. They are listed as a day care, something they used to effect when schools were shut down for covid and they asked to increase capacity by 50%
They actually had what's now believed by many parents to be a 50 child Covid outbreak in December 2019 and never told the parents that they weren't the only ones taking there kids out for sickness, as the day care is filled with children who travel all over the world like on Thanksgiving getting strange and often early sickness is common.
Another issue is they often failed to secure the facilities, often leaving exterior gates to the playground open to the parking lot, not separating age groups and forgetting kids inside during fire drills.
Another issue is these teachers were making unaccredited decisions about mental health for children and claims about there school programs being "advanced" despite claiming that kids would still need to see a tutor to test into an age appropriate grade for public school later. They charge 900-1200 pr month per child and every parent knows they only "care about the money".
They were also cited for going to children's homes for tutoring without the proper vaccination or safety protocols during the lockdowns including offering lessons for subjects they were not accredited for.
Other concerns were they used a single bathroom and lined up all the children to use it - this led to any parent entering the facility and other children to see children often sitting on the toilet with the door open to the common areas and front door.
Another concern was the same as many of the other parents, they were not operating as educators but indoctrinators - often telling children as young as 4 years old that the are to blame for slavery because of their skin color, the president is a bad man and should go to jail, Columbus Day and Thanksgiving are bad and they should celebrate Indigenous day and the Day of the dead despite not being able to show correlation to how that matters to basic education like math, reading and science or even knowing who the indigenous people are. Santa isn't real, guns are evil, people who voted for Donald trump are evil and on and on and on.
There is no possible way any of these children could understand or comprehend much of this and it was clear they weren't intended to - the "advanced education" was a cover for angry not teachers to go on unchecked political rants to toddlers.
While you may or may not agree with this, its not what anyone paid for, wanted or expected and even the yelp comments made it clear - there mission is not education that tout but surface level appearance only for profit.
Finally I will say this, the State Department suspended my daughters passport and put her on an international kidnapping watch list at my request. As part of they they instructed me to ask them to report any suspicious injury or absence to me immediately.
When I gathered the owner, administrator and teacher and explained this they just stared at me blankly - since I had already been told they only cared about money I told them if they felt uncomfortable to report it to the Sheriff first.
They never did and injury and absence came and went and they stayed silent - they already had the legal requirement to report this and they refused , for money.
The final insult and perhaps the worst is the teacher in the picture above conned my daughters mother into believing she was not developed enough and needed to take preschool again.
This was nothing more than a money grab to get another 10K for the xtra year - my daughter is fluent in 2 languages, reading, writing and speaking and was teachers pet - this devastated her as her small group of close friends went on to other schools without her, leaving her to feel stupid and alone, she has probably cried about that over a dozen times to me so far.
