Children's Center Utah

Solo me hicieron perder el tiempo. Me hicieron llegar su formulario demasiado extenso y me hicieron muchas preguntas en la "sesión". Desde que llamé a ese lugar expliqué lo que buscaba e iniciando la sesión nuevamente lo expliqué. Todo para que al final, la persona dijera que no era la indicada para eso y que mi hijo no podía recibir sus servicios por tener 6 años. Fue algo que me sorprendió porque desde el inicio se debería de checar eso y no estar sacando información o permitiendo que las personas vayamos para allá a perder el tiempo. Al parecer, solo quieren cobrar por algo que no hacen. Leyendo algunos comentarios, me alegra que mi hijo no haya sido apto de esos servicios ya que las personas expresan la violencia que se genera ahí. De lo que me salvé.

My son is three years old and was attending the therapeutic preschool at Utah children’s center . While attending this daycare, he did have a lot of quality benefits and was doing really well with his therapy. After 6 months of going, he finished his day at the therapeutic preschool and went to his regular school, and the teacher has noticed bruises on his arm. They asked him how he got the bruise, and he told them that he was not being a bad boy, and his other teacher had given it to him. The school called me and asked me to come look at it. Once I saw the bruise and the note that the school had provided about the teacher leaving it on him, I called the police and DCFS, and they immediately came out, took pictures, and started an investigation. The school changed their stories multiple times about what had happened, but overall, my son had told me that he was in what they call the calm down room, and his teacher grabbed his arm and squeezed him really hard, and he screamed and was scared and she hurt him. The school told me that they had pulled the camera footage originally and reviewed it, and all you were able to see was the cameras from the hallway looking in slightly to the classroom and they could see that my son dropped to the floor during a fit. Then their story changed. When the police asked for the footage, they said they didn’t have camera footage, only live cameras in the hallway. They also then changed the story that they were in the bathroom when it happened, and no camera footage was available in the bathroom. Then it changed again that the teacher only grabbed him to prevent him from falling. The whole thing seems like a cover-up, and they’re protecting themselves, and it just seems so unfair to my son. In the note the school gave me, she also stated that my son "Struggled out of her grip". & as a mother, unless my son is in harm's way or about to harm another child, there is no reason for him to be held to begin with. I’m not writing this to be petty or to be mean, but I am in school to be a professional educator, and have worked in childcare centers, I was also an assistant director, and I know that this should not be happening. If this were an adult and another adult, it would be assault. This woman is receiving no criminal charges, and the school did not hold her accountable; she left her job voluntarily. I have grabbed my son 1 million times, and I’ve never left a mark on him the way this woman did. I feel like she was not held accountable by her administration team, and they buried the story. Either way, I have heard amazing things from this school; many people recommended it to me, and it was such a disappointment that things ended this way for him. He was so sad to leave his friends.

The way these people drive, there’s no way I would ever trust them with any child, let alone my own.

Stephanie is amazing! ☺️ Her caring and understanding on our child and Dr Kyle are knowledgeable and professional

This place and the people have saved our lives

We have been seeing Kimberli for 4 years and she is one of the most amazing humans I have ever met. She connects with my entire family even though she's only my 7 year old's therapist. Aging out is impossible because now we have to find a "new Kimberli" and that's proving to be very difficult

The receptionist Ashley has a poor attitude and is hard to work with. Every time we call in we end up more and more frustrated.

Trent Ashby in the facilities department has a major anger problem. How they let him in a building with children is baffling. It’s because of him that I won’t be recommending The Children’s Center to anyone I know. Too risky.
