The director there was very disorganized and could answer simpe questions as to why she thought my child should go there for developmental delays. it was very dull and not inviting . HORRIBLE PLACE AND RED CLAY NEEDS TO RECONSIDER AND LOOK AT BUSH AND ITS STANDARDS! I would not even think about sending my child there and went to therapy through insurance and put him in a regular preschool and he is doing fantastic!

This school is the most inadequate learning environment for children with delays. Red Clay needs to take a deep look into this program. They should look at the Bush School as the gold standard. The teachers are novice at best. We pulled our child out.
