I do NOT recommend this daycare what so ever. I totally agree with Ivy A. in regards to this daycare being inappropriate for a child. The teachers there are not professional and are negligent. My son was attending this establishment for about a month and I had to remove him immediately due to my son coming home with bruising on his body. This occurred twice, the first time he had a big bruise on his forehead and when asked nobody knew anything, no report or a call to me was made. Second time he came home with bruising and nail marks behind his leg. Again nobody knew anything, no report or call to me was made. When questioned in regards to the second markings, they claim they looked like mosquito bites. And you can clearly see they were not, especially at this time of the season. My son at times can be difficult when changing his diaper especially when soiled. He likes to kick and tries to roll around and my thoughts are that this occurred and one of these ladies or girls didnt have the patients or tolerance and tried to have him stop with a big pinch to his leg. These kinds of markings are not as easy to make when wearing joggers or thick pants. His pants had to have been off. Now, I know kids are kids and they will throw things at each other or play rough or even run into things and bump themselves. Thats why the first incident was pretty much left alone even though they shouldve called me, just for common courtesy. I too have also seen these teachers play music thats not suitable or educational for our kids. I also found out that they do not have cameras in the infants nor in the room for the 1-2 yr. olds. How as parents, be sure of the safety of our kids. At this age some kids cannot talk or express any harm done to them. Very concerned... What are the laws that should protect are children regarding daycares. If anybody has information regarding this daycare or any other daycare please report it and enter a review so we as parents can be informed before this happens to anyone else. Thank you

This is a very good school. I think its a shame that more people do not know about it. My main interactions have been with the teachers who teach the 2 and 3 year olds and they have all been wonderful. The 2s teacher is very patient and you can tell she really loves the children. They were also very supportive in getting my 2 year old son potty trained. The staff attrition is also amazing. The 2s teacher has been there for I believe 10 years. As with any place there are downfalls. I wish there were more opportunities to meet other parents. I do see the occasional teacher that does not seem like she wants to be there. But overall it has a very solid program. I am surprised that more people do not know about this Nayce accredited program.

My son went here about two years ago. I walked in on the daycare twice unexpectedly and saw the kids eating cheese balls and sandwiches. This was both times and Cheerios every morning with no fruit. If I can give them zero stars I would. My son cried loud when I would drop him off and he regressed on potty training. I also noticed he was getting pale and signs of dehydration. At first everything was ok and things got bad quick. He also came home with a diaper that wasnt his and was mixed with the older kids. He was only 23 months. There is also no cameras and this place is really crowded. They were understaffed, not meeting the teacher-child ratio. The owner tried to negotiate for me to stay but I did not. this is a horrible place! Stay away!

Thank you for your input ladies. Im searching for a daycare with weekend hours, but incidents like these certainly arent worth risking my childrens safety. Also, Im aware that any employee of the daycare could input a false review about how great the daycare is when in all actuality its on the list of those that need to be closed down. Thanks again, ladies for the sake of this not happening to any other kids.

I visited and I did not like it. It is a shame that the owner do not take care of something really inportant for the children.
