I was looking for a daycare and came across this one. (Close to my job) I debated over and over in my head whether to still check it out. I made several drop in’s and decided I would use the daycare for my children. Reading all the reviews I was torn but after my visits I felt that the people that are writing them may have not been to familiar with the daycare life, angry old staff or just selfish one sided parents. I love that the rooms looked played in! Who wants their children to see toys and not be able to use their imagination and make a mess. Clearly some people dont understand the development of a child. As for the smell, well there are over 100 little bottoms that need to use the restroom and have diapers. I have seen homes that are far worse and I would not have chosen this daycare if I felt it was unsanitary. Its a daycare people! Staff come and go because not everyone is able to handle children and during one of my un-announced visits I found out that at this daycare they give them the opportunity to test their skills and knowledge of children with “working interviews” before they are hired. I thought that was awesome! (If we could do that everywhere maybe we would have less people walking out of their place of employment!) Some staff can’t handle the workload and will make a life changing choice, not only for themselves, but for the children whom now have to be introduced to a new teacher. As a mom I know all it can take is a split second for an accident to happen such as a bite. You can turn around and “BAM” it happened. Maybe not all children bite, but they are sponges and can learn really quick. It also takes “following through”. Me, as a mom, need to make sure my son doesn’t bite and if he does, he knows that there are consequences not only at the daycare but at home. Sometime we want to just blame everyone when we should ask if we are doing anything at home as parents to help the situation. If you are not able to keep your children at home and be their sole caretaker then you should know accidents and illnesses are going to happen at this daycare or the next one to enroll them into! Ultimately the safety of the children is what is important and I am sure they are handling in the best way that they can! As one review stated they work with the troubled kids so parents can work! They have not given up on any of the children since we arrived. I got to meet all of the teachers and they are all amazing in their own special way. As far as saying they need training, well it seems as if they have all been trained just fine! Well, who couldn’t use extra training though? Wouldn’t you want to grow in your profession? I would love for my sons teacher to get more training! Not because she needs it, but because it would show me, the parent, that she takes pride in her career choice and wants to better herself. Who wouldn’t want to have a confident teacher caring for their child who was there “by choice” and not for a paycheck? They all seemed lovely and all about the children...A Beautiful, unselfish, and spiritual owner (Mrs. Anita); an amazing, calm and respectful director (Mrs. Monica); a bubbly, sweet and friendly receptionist; and VERY VERY professional staff!! I am so glad I didnt base my decision on someones “BAD DAY REVIEWS” and took that chance! Don’t base your life choices on one’s personal opinion on google, remember everyone has a different perception.

Use to be good like in the first week of my 2kids going . But Now they are just slowely giving up on my son because he gets mad and throws tantrums , but do they ever explain what made him mad in the first place ,No. My son tells me kids hit and poke him but i never hear anything about those other kids, Just mine because hes getting picked on and loses his temper. and every time i pick up my daughter she has a wet diaper and thats that i take her with at least 8-10 diapers every time i take her.. And everytime i had filled her backpack with diapers they were all gone and i was told that she needed more, how can she run out of a whole pack in one day And have pee when i pick her up!?? Smh. And ive seen the teachers using my daughyers wipes on other kids. My daughter even came home with a kids diaper that had another name on it! Why is that when i provide everything she needs plus extra!! Im so fed up! ...Not only that , there is always kids climbing or standing on tables or diaper changing booths and no teachers watching them , along with kids hitting eachother and biting. Ive only seen about 3 teachers doing a good job out of like 7.. Smh , my kids have only learned to fight and talk back and cry for everything since they started going to daycare here. They were so good at their last daycare and learned their alphabet and how to count and talk clearer. Im so dissapointed in this new daycare and they will be leaving soon! If you have to give up on kids or not be able to do any good for their future then you shouldnt be working there.

i am very dissatisfied. I convinced my daughter to enroll my grand kids here it was for my convenience since it walking distance from my house. my first complaint is one of the grand daughter can be a hand full but I feel shes targeted as she is always seem to be in trouble. I get bad reports ALWAYS. I go pick up my 3year old grand baby and she runs to me telling me she had a goo day and her comes ms rose (one with the glasses) NO she had a bad day cause she didnt clean the kitchen area right.. REALLY!! Then another time given an incident report because, I was told she kicked another kid In back bruised them. Later to find out it was an accident going down the slide but she made it seem intentional. then they close and have early release for unnecessary reasons way to often and put us in a bind trying to find sitters or I have to use vacation time to help out. Some of these teachers need more training. something for convenience for me has turned to be an inconvenience after all now we need to try to look elsewhere. I just need a place thats for the kids benefit and actually will sit and help afterschool homework. Im so disappointed,

My 2 children were there for less than 3 weeks. My 2yr old was bitten in excess of 7 times during that 3 week period. They do not care or monitor. I had to beg for incident reports & never got all of them or the truth as to why he was being bitten. When brought to their attention after 3 bites in the 1st week I was told that is how 2yr olds act. When I told them that my 3yr old had been in daycare from 6wks to 2.5yrs before we moved & had maybe been bitten 3 times total I was told "I got lucky". I later found out what kid was bitting my 2yr old because my 3yr old told me it was a kid from her class that had been bitting him when they combined the 3yr & 2yr class in the afternoons. The kid that was bitting my son had special needs & should have been watched more closely when the classes were combined. Because my son was bitten so much in such a short time he is now a bitter & I am still trying to stop gim from bitting 4mths later.
