Little me Preschool is a scam. It is run by a money hungry theif that preys on your money and circumstances rather than the well-being of the children in its facility. Little Me does NOT live up to its "reputation."
Little Me Preschool, or I'd rather say Mirta the Director stole money from us that unforunately we noticed too late.The rate for their facility is $170 per week plus $25 per child for their aftercare program. I have three kids that attended here, one full-time and two aftercare. Last year I had two full-time and one aftercare. We were also under a program where the military pays a portion of the cost through their child subsidy program, and I had to pay 30% and my ex husband the remaining 70% of the cost. Due to this, they couldn't tell us a set rate for the year until October.
When school started in August, my boyfriend and I noticed that the our weekly fee had gone up from $55 the previous year, to $60. We found it strange since the money was less this year, why would it be more weekly? After we were told this in October, we backtracked to August and September when we had been paying $80-$100 a week because they did not have a set rate. As we did the math, we had paid them $790 in the past two months! That amount is simply impossible beacuse when the math is done correctly, we are only supposed to pay about $220 a month. That meant that we had been overcharged $350 and Mirta still has the audacity to argue with us that she wants another $220, after we just paid $240 for one week!!!
We also trusted in her word, since I had "no legal right" to see the paper that shows the amounts that we were all paying for, I made the mistake in believing what she said was true. After I was given a quick glance at the sheet that was provided, I saw the military paid about $387 for the full-time care, and $10 for the aftercare monthly. Upon doing basic math at home, the numbers do not add up. We were paying about $20 more weekly. I confronted the Director Mirta about this issue. And as usual, she was rude, raised her voice and very disrepectful and inapproriately commenting about and into my personal life. After what seemed to be about the longest 15mins of me defending my reasons for not wanting to pay her an extra $220, removing my children from the facility, and where had the money gone, she basically admitted that she had been "nickle and diming" me $5 a week and that it was no big deal and she would "take the hit." ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!! "Take the hit?!" I was taking the hit! My children and I were being stolen from for months, maybe even since last year and she was bold enough to say it was not a big deal. Mirta also slipped or admitted to recieving a $700 check every 5 weeks from the military instead of the $387 and $10 one that she had written on her financial sheet.
It's basic math, and the math does not add up. We had been getting overcharged $20-$40 a week and she still not only harasses us to keep "donating" money to her, but has threatened me that she will put me in collections for money that she actually OWES to me and my children. And granted, I am a single mother and work on commission, so I may not have been able to pay Mirta every monday on time, but she always got her payments. ALWAYS.
Mirta has never credited us the money that we had overspent, stole money weekly, is rude and oddly involved in personal life, and yet is still hasn't offered even an apology for what she has done or how she has poorly and disrepectfully treated my family. She has a lack of properly communicating without insulting or belittling the person and simply, after being yelled at for years now, I am done with her and her facility. All we want is our money back and for her and the Little Me Preschool facility to be investigated. It's a shame because the morning teachers' are a BLESSING, but instead of having people look like they were asked to write positive reviews, Mirta should actually try to EARN them by having a better attitude, quality service, better communication skills, and no theft of our hard earned money from hard working parents who want to provide their children with a good learning facility.
The reason why we wrote this was beacuse upon further research and readin all of the other reviews from other unsatisfed parents, we believe we're not the only ones that have been robbed and lied to on a daily basis. A business that is run honestly, will always prosper. And Little Me Preschool needs to work on its character, and "reputation" and not steal from those put their children in their care.
