I can see from the reviews that nothing much has changed about this daycare. At the time my daughter was at this school, it was horrible, not very clean, and the staff didnt seem to care much about the welfare of the children. My daughter was a favorite so one of the teachers there took really good care of her. That still didnt prevent her from being bitten and it didnt prevent one of the incompetent bus drivers from NOT strapping my then 4 month old into her car seat properly. When I went to get my baby from the van, she had her forward facing in a rear facing seat, and she had slipped down with the seat belt almost across her chest. I cursed her out and called the daycare to report her. I told them she was never to drive my baby or have any contact with her. I also witnessed one of the workers grab a baby by his arm and swing him into his crib. They used the cribs as a form of punishment. After that, I reported them to the daycare licensing office. I ended up having workds with the with the owner and told her I would not be bringing my child back. She was there for less than a year and i withdrew her. The owner actually circulated a list of people who supposedly owed her money and that cow had my name listed. What she didnt know was that my daughter was enrolled at First Class Learning Center right up the street and they showed me the list! My only wish is that all of this internet information would have been around when my daughter was young and hopefully this rating will help one of you make a good decision NOT to place your precious child in this daycare.

I had my son there for all of last school year and up until yesterday of the summer. Despite numerous times of me having to tell everyone working there I didnt want my son around a specific student due to him physically harming my child, they still didnt listen because the other student said he was my childs "friend." and they would cry when separated. To top it off, I had informed them 2 weeks in advance, even spoke to the head administrator and Ms. Alicia, that my son would be out for a week for his vacation. No one ever said anything to me about needing to have "vacation" days for us not to be charged for the week he wasnt there, because they had to "save his place" even though I had told them that he wouldnt be there, and there was no reason for him to have a place saved. She simply pointed to a dusty yellow sign that didnt even say anything about "vacation" days on it. Every other daycare my child has been in wont charge you for the days that your child isnt there, for obvious reasons! All they care about is money and not the benefit of the children. The teachers are all always on their phones, not knowing where the children are "Oh I just came in here" is their favorite line in the entire world. YOUR BASICALLY PAYING FOR NOTHING. DONT TORTURE YOUR CHILD HERE.

THIS IS THE WORST DAYCARE MY SON HAS EVER ATTENDED. MY SON WAS THERE FOR 1 MONTH BEFORE I HAD TO PULL HIM OUT AND FIND ANOTHER DAYCARE. HE WAS IN THE 2 YR OLD CLASSROOM AND I ONLY LIKED ONE OF HIS TEACHERS BY THE NAME OF ABRIONA. HIS OTHER TEACHER MEAGAN WAS TERRIBLE. ALSO, THEY HAVE THIS THING WHERE IF THE CLASS HAS TOO MANY KIDS THEY PUT THE OLDER 2 YEAR OLDS IN ANOTHER CLASSROOM. KIDS HATE CHANGE! MY SON IS POTTY TRAINED AND FOR SOME REASON HE JUST KEPT PEEING ON HIS SELF. MY SON IS TWO SO HE WONT ALWAYS SAY "I HAVE TO PEE" YOU WILL HAVE TO TAKE HIM TO THE BATHROOM. BUT THEY WERE TOO LAZY TO DO THAT. THE LAST ISSUE I HAD WAS MY SON PEED ON HIS SELF AND THEY NEVER CHANGED MY SONS CLOTHES. WHEN I PICKED HIM UP HE SMELLED LIKE PEE!! AND THEY SAID " WE SMELL PEE BUT HES NOT WET" WELL DUH HES NOT WET ANYMORE BECAUSE IT HAS DRIED UP NOW. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILD HERE IF YOU CARE OF YOUR KID!

This school has a very high teacher turnover. All theyre worried about is the money that comes in there not worried about the kids they dont buy supplies. This school is infested with rats and the owner thinks its funny that in the baby room the bins were the babies bottles and foods are at is rat droppings. All the old lady does is talk about parents, teachers and kids and she will talk in Spanish to thank you dont know what she saying but in reality people do. This school doesnt even deserve a one rating. If you dont care about your child then I would take your child there but if you do I would advise you not to take your child to the school. Kids have gotten out the front door and they the staff didnt even know how they got out the front door and was playing in the parking lot. This list could go on and on and on all I can say is bad things theres no good thing out of this school.

I give this daycare NO stars! Its the WORST daycare ever!!! They dont care about the kids the teachers are just there to get a paycheck. My son attended there for about 8 months maybe 9. In September, the lady up front (Ms Alicia) told me i was behind ONE payment which brought my balance to $315 when i paid $105 a week. How does that even make since?? Come to find out the payment "i missed" (really they just lost the receipt to my cash payment) was in APRIL!!!? So your putting all these late charges cause u told me 4 months later i missed one payment? And now they are threating if i dont make arrangements with them they will take legal actions which include me getting arrested. I have the owners whole converstation on recording! Dont bring your kids here they are horrible and just want money. Money hungry people its disgusting!

I always give my pyments on time and on Wednesday when i came to drop off my son they told me i was behind on payments ! I was so outraged due to the fact i always give my payments on time or give them 2 weeks at advance and all the sudden im $400 behind ! This daycare is a joke

I wish that I could rate no stars. I went to a job interview at this place and was horrified at how they treated the kids there. The teachers favored certain kids and would bring outside food in and only feed the "favorite" child. The teachers there are ghetto. This place is hardly clean and should go out of business.

My kids have loved going to shady grove for years, and the teachers always send them home happy. I can trust my kids are being well taken care of when Ms. Alicia is working in the front running the center. Clean, organized classrooms with both learning and playtime involvdd

Despite the scarcity of more than decent places that youll find in South Irving, this Learning Center really stands out as a well managed and growing establishment.Theres showing results and improvement to those who use their time and money to the programs offered here.
