When I was 6 months pregnant and planning for childcare, I looked into this school. The woman who met with me told me very little — she wouldn’t or couldn’t tell me very basic information like prices or waitlist times. She was short with me, explaining that the person who usually conducts these meetings was gone. This woman didn’t even TRY to encourage me to apply or choose this particular daycare center. She then told me they have a no-gun policy which I’d need to sign and have notarized before she could give me a tour, so I wasn’t shown or told anything about the center. In addition to the short responses, this seemed like another attempt to deter me from applying (I’d actually already been inside before due to being an emergency contact of an enrolled child). The experience was very disappointing; it ultimatey it seemed like she was discriminating based on my appearance (possibly being a younger parent, how I was dressed, etc). Still, desperate for childcare I applied and included the non-refundable application fee. To this day, over a year later, I have never heard back from them. I ended up taking my son to Kingdom Kids in Manhattan, who were much more kind and just had their daycare center beautifully renovated.
