I'm very surprised by the negative reviews. My experience with them has been exceptional.

Horrible. My child's father and I had an appointment for our child in hopes of finding out how to help with the child's behavior. (We are not together so we both felt it be beneficial to be there together to be on the same page) We walk in a half hour early as asked started to fill out the paperwork. As I begin to read these very broad questions I stop and realized I couldn't answer some of these for my child because they were not being specific enough. There were some questions there that was really none of their business like has your income increased by 20% or more (it shouldn't matter if I make $5,000 a year or if I make $60,000 a year. My child should be treated the same.) it's not being their business so I did not answer those questions. I turned in the paperwork I sat back down and the lady comes around and goes to hand it to me and says you need to finish answering these. I politely looked at her and said no I answered all that were pertinent to my child that made sense. she shoved the clipboard back at me and told me I need to answer them and walked away so I stood up walked over to where she was and set the clipboard down. She realized I wasn't going to answer them and I watched her storm off with the clipboard visibly frustrated I didn't conform to what she wanted. A half hour after our appointment was suppose to start we finally got called back, first impression of the therapist I didn't like her. (That feeling you get when you meet someone and lights start flashing going warning warning were going off in my head) she preceded to take us back to the room and tells my child you can play with whatever toys you want and you don't have to clean up after. I don't care who you are you don't get to tell my child they will not pick up after themselves.and believe me my child picked up after they were done. We continued the appointment i stepped out and while I was gone she started asking the father about things that made him feel uncomfortable and was told to ask me the questions when I had returned,he didn't feel it was his place to answer, she didn't ask me the questions when I returned (mind you I didn't find this out until we walked out after the appointment all trust of everything being open went out the window) when she would ask questions we had to ask her who she was asking because she was going to get two different answers because our child acts like a different child depending on who she is with. The therapist almost seemed annoyed by us asking questions or both of her parents being there. She rushed us through questions and wouldn't allow us to explain the situations we have with our child. They plan 2 hours for the appointment we were pushed out much less than 2 hours, like we weren't worth their time. The therapist said she needed to do separate interviews with us without our child present. (which we as parents agreed that would not he happening) we arw not here for therapy for us we are there for the child m. she pushed for it so we set up appointments knowing we would not he attending. We got to the front desk scheduled the appointments and left. I was then informed by my child's father that he felt the therapist was trying to turn us against each other by the questions being asked when I wasn't in the room so I was furious and went back and in and told the girl and the front desk to cancel our appointments because I wouldn't be seeing a therapist that tries to pin the parents against each other. The girl at the front desk had the audacity to laugh at me as I began walking out still frustrated so I turned back around and asked for their supervisor they didn't want to tell me. Once I was able to get in with the supervisor and director there was a lot of "I Don't Knows" and not a lot of explanation. They said it's not policy to have separate appointments with parents, but couldn't tell me why the therapist insisted. When asked why my income was their business they said they didn't know what I was talking about and blamed it on the people that make the tests. They only want your money not to help.

Called today only to be hung up on several occasions by both the receptionist Mona and therapist Linda. Linda does not return phone calls and requests for you to make an appointment to answer questions, only a tactic to get you to spend money in my humble opinion. Stay clear and go elsewhere!

I highly recommend The Children's Center. They have been very helpful with my nephew. If you have any doubt that your child needs to develop better social skills, this is the place to go.

I am so surprised by the negative reviews that people are writing. I was never asked about my income, my daughter's therapist is amazing and Mona and Lisa are very helpful. My daughter comes home and when asked how was your day she always replies to I saw ..... her therapist. She loves her teachers too. Thank you so much Children's Center for helping my daughter through everything she went through and helped her to be back to her happy , loving, helpful self. You have no idea how much I am so grateful and appreciated to you helping her. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

I am so grateful for the staff and teachers at The Children’s Center. They are AMAZING and you can tell they love and care for each kiddo. I am so thankful I found this place when I found it, I am thankful for each one of my sons teachers and the rest of the staff that takes time out of their day to help him improve and learn new things. They do so many fun activities with the kiddos each and everyday!

This place is great, if you like waiting months to see a counselor then not get the help your child needs. Save your time and money go elsewhere.

Extremely disappointed by the experience I’ve had here. My daughter started going to their preschool six months ago and has not improved from them, but we have received several calls about things we’re doing wrong. For example, I am apparently supposed to pack a lunch box completely full of food for her instead of just a normal amount of food because she is getting into other kid’s lunchboxes when they’re not watching and if she asks for food they can’t tell her no. But because of traumatic history she doesn’t know how to stop eating and needs to be cut off. They also said I have to send her in different shoes because she keeps taking hers off and they are tired of putting them back on. She comes home soaked through a pull up almost every day and so I started marking them. Turns out they’re not changing her there, which is frustrating because we’ve been trying to potty train her for six months and they said they’re working with her too and taking her every 15 minutes. They said she needs cognitive therapy when her speech is perfect and they said she will not be successful in a regular preschool, but they didn’t know she goes to a regular preschool too a couple times a week and is THRIVING. They keep setting goals for her that she doesn’t need to work on and it shows because even from the first day of tracking it shows she’s accomplished the goal. The teachers seem lazy and uninterested in the children. The only things I like about this place are the psychiatrist Claire, who has actually been helpful, and the bus driver Karen. If you’re looking for therapy for your children, go somewhere else. This place is useless.
