Enhanced staff/child ratios and group sizes were not met. I observed four children four years of age in space #4 with no teacher. In space #2, I observed two teachers, with seven children, three infants and four one year old children. The teacher for space #3, rejoined his group which consisted of twelve children, four children two years of age and eight children three years of age. One of the teachers from space #2, then went to space #4 and took the four children from space #4, along with the three-year old children from space #3 to space #1. This left one teacher in space #2 with seven infants and one year old children.

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

ZERO STARS Day we toured school- as we were pulling down into where the daycare was I was getting red flags. It’s in a terrible area known for high trafficking of drugs but just having a stroke I needed help with my children until I was able to recover for a while. So I tried to overlook it. As we toured the daycare when we pulled up I noticed all of the playground equipment is old and there isn’t really a whole lot of outside play stuff for them to do that isn’t from the 90s. Nothing like other daycares that have just as many children as they do. You would think they would put some money into the exterior play equipment. Then I found out my child’s teacher was a male. She is 3 so she is in the potty training or not potty trained young class like 2/3 year olds I believe. My daughter is fully potty trained and does not need help wiping anything except when she poops. I was assured he would not be wiping her butt. Because as a family we have that standard only her daddy is allowed to wipe her butt. Day 1 drop off both my children and again address the situation the woman reaffirms to me it wouldn’t be an issue, I recorded the conversation so I left both my children there trusting it wouldn’t happen when I came to pick my children up my daughter was screaming when I got her in the car because this man had wiped her butt. Day2 my husband calls to address it in which he is reassured that it wouldn’t happen again, as my child only needs help when pooping. What would that be maybe 1 time per day that a female teacher would be needed if she even had a bowel movement while there? Pick her up she says a girl wiped her butt so everything was fine. Day 3 I get there to drop the kids off and I’m met by the Director/Owner Angela (which has been quite a character from the beginning and gave me momma red flags from the get go as well as two of the other workers look like drug addicts) Angela proceeds to tell me that they would not have the staff to CATER(yes she said cater not the professional term ACCOMMODATE) my daughter and that the male had passed all his stuff to be able to be employed there. To us from the beginning it was explained it’s not about him it’s about a boundary we as parents have put up in our children’s lives. So I ask my daughter to come with me because she wouldn’t be staying. Nobody was asking to be catered to…. And I looked at my son and asked him if he wanted to stay since sissy wouldn’t be there. Just to make sure he would be comfortable without her there… in which the director spoke up and said HE CAN JUST GO SINCE SHE WONT BE STAYING. My children have been in daycare MANY times and never once have I ever saw a male in a classroom with the age children this man is in the classroom with. Not to mention the way I heard the OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST they have coming there treating a young boy. If you have standards as a parent this is not the daycare you want your children going to!
