TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE! If I could give them zero stars I would. Please dont take your child thereunless you absolutely have to. The ratios are ridiculously illegal and dangerous. My son is 2 and there were times where it was 17 kids in the class with ONE "teacher." I had to stop kids from sticking their heads in the toilet several times because they leave the bathroom door opened and the "teacher" always has her back turned. My son was in night care and I found roaches crawling around his classroom by the cubbies and refrigerator several nights when I would come to get him. I would tell the assistant the next day and shed say theyll spray but then theyd be back next week. Hes been sent home in other kids clothes and Ive seen children wearing his extra shirts with his name CLEARLY on them. One day they told me he was out of diapers and I found them under the changing table. There is absolutely no learning all they do is play and watch movies all day. The only reason my son was there was because my work schedule changed and I needed a place that was opened until at least ten. And my son was miserable. He used to cry everyday when I dropped him off because it was so chaotic. The kids were always fighting and the staff was always screaming at them and yanking them by their arms. Eventually it got so bad that I QUIT my well paying job so I could get him out of there. Please for your own sanity do not take your child there.

My granddaughter attended this daycare for a few short months and during that time what I saw was enough to make me say, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILDREN HERE!! There were times that they sent her home in someone elses clothes and her stuff was missing. I would drop her off with 10 diapers and five hours later when I picked her up they would tell me she needed diapers, yet my granddaughter would have a diaper rash because she clearly hadnt been changed. I saw staff changing diapers wearing gloves and then they would grab food for a child without taking off the gloves or washing their hands. I witnessed the staff grab a child by the arm and snatched him to the ground and another one of the members push a child by the head. Everytime I tried to speak with someone, about anything, I got a defensive attitude. This of course made me feel like there was something they were trying to hide, when originally I was just trying to find out about the day. Thank goodness we got her out of there, I shudder to think what may have happened if we hadnt.

First of all, the entire operation is extremely disorganized. If you ever have a question, you will be sent to 50 different people and never answered clearly. Second of all, I feel there are way too many children allowed in such a small space. I have come in on multiple occasions and the legal ratios of children to adults has been exceeded. On top of that, the staff seems to have no type of training. They barely know how to change a diaper and seem to have no understanding of general hygiene. My daughter has been in childcare since she was 2 months old and has NEVER had a diaper rash until she came here. She was only here for 3 months, and in that time, has had more diaper rashes than I can count. Shes also had pinkeye TWICE while being here. Theyre not very clean and not very bright. I would have pulled her out after the first week she was there, but I couldnt afford another application fee after their unreasonable $70 fee. Do your children a favor and DO NOT bring them here!

Ive been with the early years now for several years. They have impeccable staff with solid work ethics. The curriculum presented to my child has always been interactive and very supportive of her development physically mentally and academically. I always feel at home when I come to drop my child off or to pick my child up. I would recommend the Early Years CDC to anyone with young children looking for a reliable, clean and friendly place to take your children during the day while youre at work. Give them a call you wont regret it.

I attended this daycare as a child. Lets just say I wont be taking my kids there... heres what I remember . Mom drops me off then shortly after we would eat breakfast then watch maybe 2 cartoons and then they made us all lay down on around noon until your parents picked you up. Basically spending HOURS laying down. But the 2 kids who knew the ladies never had to lay down they was allowed to play...
