My experience at the soref JCC ended up being terrible. My daughter was in that school from age 13 months to age 3. The last class that she was in which was the three year-old class, I believe it’s called the nursery, is where all of the issues truly began and where they began to treat my daughter like a pariah. if I go into detail, I will be here all day, but I will just simply say that the teachers made a fool and mockery of my daughter, instead of nurturing her. My daughter is a normal functioning child, and I Was continuously being pressured by the staff and the director alluding that my daughter had special needs. I evaluated her and had her seen by 5 different professionals only to confirm my ideology, which is that my daughter does not have any type of diagnosis or special needs. However, they treated her like she was a monster. As a sidenote, this is not to say that there’s anything wrong with children to have special needs. The reason I am saying this is to show that The school operated in a way that if a child was a little out of the ordinary, meaning they had a speech delay, or they were stubborn, or they maybe had a new sibling coming into the world so there were some behavioral issues, or they were testing limits, that to them meant the child needed a diagnosis and needed extra help. I call that lazy and uneducated A few examples are that we took My daughter’s pacifier away Around the time she turned three, and I told the teacher that it may be hard for her to fall asleep during nap time and instead of working with her and nurturing her, all I received were reports about how she was disruptive during nap time and how she doesn’t listen, etc. So they started to pass her around from room to room, which is a very large lack of structure for a child And does not support a nurturing and caring environment. I received these negative text messages and reports every single day. And they weren’t things like my daughter was hitting or biting or doing violent things. They were things like she didn’t want to sit down at circle time or she refused to do her work or she wanted to play under the table instead of in the play area. Another example is when The teacher in her class sent me a voice note one day telling me that my daughter started crying because she made a mess and didn’t wanna clean it up and was sad that she did not get a sticker, and when she started crying, she ended up peeing on herself. The teacher said “we cannot have this kind of behavior mom this is unacceptable. “ I was appalled. I still have the voice note to this day. That was one of the last straws. The icing on the cake was when I advised the director Jacky that I was pulling my daughter from the school after winter break and she proceeded to tell me two days later and one day before it was time to send my daughter to school for winter break, that they cannot accommodate my daughter and they don’t have enough teachers. (This was after I paid and everything) I asked her how many parents she wrote this to or am I the only one to which she responded I was not the only one. I then texted almost every Mother that had their kid in the winter break camp and not one of them received that text. That just supports the level of unprofessionalism and lack of education when it comes to running a school and dealing with children. The lack of empathy and training that these teachers have to deal with children who may be a little more stubborn or have a speech delay or just generally need a little bit of extra love is unbelievable. I was very disappointed with my experience and I would never ever recommend anyone send their child there.
My brothers go to Preschool at JCC! Honestly the best! 2 and 3 year olds know the ABC's, Months, weeks and more!
I regret to say that my experience with the after school program was disappointing. The manager's attitude was extremely rude and unprofessional, which set a negative tone for the entire program. Their lack of empathy and poor communication skills made interactions uncomfortable and ineffective. The overall quality of the program suffered due to this manager's behavior, creating an unpleasant environment for both the students and parents. I would not recommend this program to anyone seeking a supportive and nurturing after school environment.
If you have special needs keep don’t send your kids they don’t know how to handle them, they treat them differently as well but swear they knows how to deal with them. They got picked on by the staff and they are quick to kick them out be very careful not a nice place
If I could choose 0 stars I would. I’m not sure why they don’t have it as “Soref JCC” like the plantation one but I’m hoping this gets seen by parents looking to send their kids there. I chose this camp last year entrusting them to take care of my son with Autism while he’s out of state for summer spending time with his dad. Last year he apparently got in “trouble” a number of times and was a “bully”- he’s in a program where I live and has NEVER been described that way. His program has biweekly meetings regarding educational progress, socialization and behavior. I chalked it up to him being away for the first time and the large transition possibly causing aggression or because there was a larger teacher to student ratio. At the end of the summer I reached out 2-3 times via email for a report regarding his behavior and the “write ups” he received. I never heard a thing. I let it go because I figured they were busy and stuff falls through the cracks. Come this year, his dad chose this camp because he hadn’t signed him up and there weren’t many with openings once summer started. Now, I thought everything was going well since I hadn’t heard any negative reports from his dad. My son (5) told me he didn’t like it the first day of camp, once again I assumed he was just missing home. BUT then the camp called me one day regarding him, I told them I was his mom and they said it was the “wrong number” they were trying to call grandma. I mentioned I’m his mother and would like to know as well so they decided to say “no no different m—-h” and hung up. Later I heard from his father he was sent home and called is grandma around the same time. Now I don’t understand why they would LIE #1, and would HIDE information from a child’s primary parent-#2. Now not only has my son said he doesn’t like it, the teachers call him mean names, and the teachers call him mean names everyday BUT they have proven their “sketchiness”, for lack of a better word, and I worry for my sons mental and physical well-being. I see now the previous year they may have been hiding things rather than just letting something “slip”. I’ll be flying across the country over a month early to address this since his father isn’t. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CAMP TO ANYONE- PLEASE PLEASE PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN ESPECIALLY IF THEYRE NEURODIVERGENT. I’ll be posting this on the other JCC’s location as well since they’re connected and the paperwork processes through their main office (I submitted the papers last year)
Best summer camp in the area!
