Disappointed/ concerned parent 2020-01-12 11:32:39
I have used this provider for less than 6 months

This daycare was disappointing in every way. The cleanliness and appearance is sub par. The staff is constantly turning over and leaving. My child was in a room with kids that were not his age and it was completely inappropriate. The daycare never kept me in the lop of what was going on and they were very unorganized. Don't send your child here!

Two of my littles have attended this facility. I’ve never been anywhere else where I’ve been greeted with as much kindness and compassion. The staff and director are always friendly and helpful. I feel very comfortable leaving my babies with them. I’ve seen how well they treat the children and love them like their own. The HiMama app they use is super helpful for communicating and they are very responsive. I love the fact that they are very personable and truly care about our family. I can be having a bad morning and when I walk in this daycare I am greeted by every staff member and they brighten my day.

Think twice before putting your child in this center.

My children both attended this center where we encountered problem after problem. My 3 year old was having so many issues and after several requests to have a meeting to review video footage to try to pinpoint what could have triggered this "horrible" behaivior, I was finally able to review the video. It turned out that the center was keeping my child in time out for 30 minutes at a time and then would call me to come get him! When I was reviewing the tape with the director, she stood up for the staff and didn't see an issue with it and had NO ideas on how to resolve it.

Don't count on being able to work while your children are being taken care of. I was called all the time to come get him for these disciplinary reasons. I finally filled complaints with the state who came to the center and verified what happened was true and indeed was a violation and found additinal violations of the teachers yelling negatively at the children. This was just one video. It's public information, so you can see for yourself. Link to visit from state here: http://ncchildcaresearch.dhhs.state.nc.us/Vis_Det.asp?Facility_ID=36000508&cvidentity=369596

This really is the worst run daycare I have ever experienced. There were other troubles with the center that I did not like this is the one that caused me to pull my child out immediately.

Concerned 2015-04-26 21:41:27

Staff is only nice during key drop off and pick up times. Owner speaks openly about families personal information and gives her opinion about things that don't concern her to other parents and employees. Teachers brag about how they handle bad kids. They gossip openly, speak about inappropriate things in their personal lives and I've heard them curse regularly. There have been injures that they sweep under the table. Most of the employees do not like kids and you can tell if you come through at an unexpected time and stand outside of your child's room. They eat fast food in front of the children who can't tell on them. I have one star because that's the lowest you could give. Parents should visit between 10am and 4pm. The positive reviews are probably from people who never check on their kids after 9:30am or before regular pick up time. They are very unprofessional. If only more people spoke up...

I have had the opportunity to work with this center for the last year, and it has been a joy to work with the owner and the rest of the team! They are the most genuine, kind and caring group of people I have ever had the chance to work with and be around. I wish I had know about this center when my kids were little. I know that the parents can feel good about their decision to put their children in this center's hands. The teachers treat the kids with love and see their "jobs" and a calling!

I absolutely love this center. Im greeted every morning with a cheerful good morning and a warm smile. I just love hearing the music when I walk into my sons room. It brightens his morning and he dances seems like every morning when he hears his favorite tune. My child's teacher always have some type of project planned. These teachers do NOT baby sit my son. He actually learns something new everyday. He has so many projects to bring home when I pick him up. I thank God for this center and the director. She works with me any time I need her help. These people are real life angels.

PARENT 2015-02-10 13:19:46

THIS FACILITY CARE MORE ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE PARENT'S PERSONAL LIFE THAN THEY DO ABOUT THE CHILDREN. OWNER SHOWS NO PROFESSIONALISM. DISPLAYS CADDY TATICS IF THEY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH A CHILD OR PARENT. OWNER HAS EMPLOYEES TO CALL PARENTS FROM THEIR PERSONAL CELL PHONES INSTEAD OF USING THE WORK PHONE. SHOWS FAVORTISM AND BREAKS DISCLOSURE RULES.

Very unprofessional. Teachers discuss parent/child personal status amongst themselves and to other parents. Asks for inappropriate information( ex: asking about things that go on in the home that may have no influence on the child's wellbeing). Owner treats parents and children differently according to how they pay and sometimes with a condescending tone.
