(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - front desk is very rude. i called about trying to enroll my child into their pre-k program b/c we just moved here from out of state and i was told before i could even finish my sentence "no. we are not taking anyone and we will not put you on a list." when i asked if she knew of any schools i could try she said "check the internet. good bye." i understand that she may have been busy and was trying not to waste my time but i am angry at the way i was talked to and glad that my child will not be learning ANYTHING from people like that.
