If your child has a mind of their own please do not consider sending them there. My son has come home from there and is constantly apologising for things that are not even his fault. They want communication but only when it is best for them. They do not like it if parents work. I suffered from post natal depression and was told in no uncertain terms by a member of the team that I needed to get help and she had only met me twice. The same person told my mum that she had taken on too much. They wanted me to cut my son's hair because they did not like it. I have been made to feel like a bad mother by them. The children need to be like the stepford wife's. They need to all think the same, dress the same and for goodness sake they must not have a mind of their own.
