★Justin KentMy experience with Henrico Pals was less than satisfactory. Firstly, it came to my attention that the children were being transported between schools in vehicles that did not have an adequate number of seat belts for the number of passengers. I spoke with the director about this, and he assured me that this wouldn't happen again, and that he would speak to the drivers. Unfortunately, I discovered that it was continuing to happen and that the driver at the time was also the site supervisor. Secondly, it was my experience that staff members never checked adults' ID's when children were being picked up. I once saw a staff member ask a man "who are you" to which he responded, "I'm the stepfather". She then allowed the child to go with the man without checking his ID or checking to ensure he was on the approved pick-up list. Lastly, from what I've observed, this is not an uplifting environment for children. More often than not, when I've arrived to pick up my child, every student had their head on the table and were told that they were not allowed to speak. To me, intimidation was the only form of control staff member used. I saw on several occasions a specific staff member get within 1 inch of a child's face and scream at them, while all other staff members stood by. I understand the difficulties of finding afterschool programs in Henrico County, but I have no plans of using the PALS program in the future.
