   I can honestly say that I wouldn't send even a poorly behaved chimp to this school. I finally withdrew my children from one of the branches and am very disappointed in the franchise.
   
   The teacher retention rate at the branch that my children attended was horrible. The teachers were, for the most part, uneducated, had no clue how to control a classroom, and the classrooms themselves were more chaotic than the wild west. I have walked in on teachers confining students to the classroom toilet for time out, have witnessed teachers grabbing students by the arm, know of at least one student who was made to sleep on the bare floor at naptime, and have had my own share of horror stories that are too numerous to recount.
   
   The school does have a "child psychologist" on retention, however he is as incompetent as the teachers. When I withdrew my children I was informed that it was his opinion that my one child had "problems", though I could not be provided with specifics as his classroom analysis was limited and any diagnosis for this child's age would have been grossly inappropriate. I have since found another psychologist and have found that my child's only problem was boredom combined with inappropriate disciplinary techniques (absolutely no redirection, mostly just humiliation and neglect). I feel terrible about having my child in this school as we now have a lot of bad habits to correct and it will take a lot of time to win back my older child's trust in any adult.

   You'll love this place!: I needed child care for both my 6 and 4 year old boys for three weeks. Everyone was so nice to us and they took excellent care of my kids. Every day my boys would tell me how much fun they had. They felt safe and I felt at ease leaving my children in such great hands.

   I am hoping that someone can let me know how flexible Le Chaperon Rouge schools are. I would like to send my infant, but I only need care three days a week, but for almost 12 hours at time.
