Disappointing Experience with Ladera Ranch Kindercare
We applied for our child to be on the waitlist at Ladera Ranch Kindercare in the fall of 2021. Throughout 2022, we inquired three times and received inconsistent information about our position on the waitlist. Sometimes they told us we were 6th in line, other times we were 8th. Today, April 24th, 2023, I called again to check our status, only to find out that they have lost our application and our child's information! We have been waiting for this school to contact us without even knowing that our application was misplaced.
When we visited the school to ask about our missing application, they did not directly address the issue. Instead, they brushed us off by saying that there were still five people ahead of us in line. They then told us to call back after our child turns 3 later this year, at which point they would update us on our position and potential enrollment.
We cannot help but wonder if this treatment is due to racial discrimination against Asians. Our experience with this school has been extremely disheartening, with dismissive responses and a lack of respect for applicants. It's April 2024, and COVID is no longer a concern, yet we were still not allowed inside the school and had to wait outside while our questions were answered.
If it were not for the convenience of this school being close to our home, we would never have applied in the first place. We now have serious concerns about entrusting our child's education to a school that has demonstrated such a lack of goodwill and care. Even if they were to call us now and offer our child a spot, we would not feel comfortable enrolling them. We strongly recommend avoiding this school based on our terrible experience.
与Ladera Ranch Kindercare的令人失望的经历
我们在2021年秋季为我们的孩子申请了Ladera Ranch Kindercare的候补名单。在2022年期间,我们询问了三次,并收到了关于候补名单上我们的位置的不一致信息。有时他们告诉我们我们排在第6位,其他时候我们是第8位。今天,2023年4月24日,我再次打电话查询我们的状态,结果发现他们丢失了我们的申请和孩子的信息!我们一直在等待这所学校的通知,却不知道我们的申请被弄丢了。
当我们去学校询问我们失踪的申请时,他们并没有直接解决问题。相反,他们敷衍地告诉我们还有五个人在我们前面排队。然后,他们让我们在孩子今年晚些时候满3岁后再打电话给他们,届时他们会更新我们的位置和可能的入学情况。
我们不禁怀疑这种待遇是否是因为对亚洲人的种族歧视。我们与Ladera Ranch Kindercare的经历非常令人沮丧,得到的回复敷衍,对申请人的尊重严重不足。现在是2024年4月,COVID已经不再是一个问题,但我们仍然不允许进入学校,只能在门外等待回答问题。
如果不是因为这所学校离我们的家很近,我们根本不会申请。现在,我们对把孩子的教育托付给这所表现出如此缺乏善意和关心的学校感到非常担忧。即使他们现在给我们打电话,为我们的孩子提供一个名额,我们也不会觉得安心让孩子入学。基于我们糟糕的经历,我们强烈建议避开Ladera Ranch Kindercare这所学校。
