Carlie Care - Terrytown LA Child Day Care - Type III

I agree with the comment before my own. The director is rude and money hungry. I had similar experiences with this facility as well as more unfortunate shortcomings. My daughter was in Mrs. Rosemary and Mrs. Hope's class. In an entire year, I was only late twice once I was ten minutes late due to a traffic accident and the other I was late by three minutes due to a late meeting with my college advisor. Both times the director demanded thirty dollars on the spot! She even said that my daughter wouldn't be allowed to come back to school until the fee was paid after I refused to pay for being three minutes late. Because it was so close to the end of the school year (Late April) I didn't see the need to uproot my daughter and make her transfer. I overlooked several shortcomings by this facility due to fact that my daughter had never been to school before preschool and had adjusted so well, and also enjoyed the time she spent at school. In my opinion, the teachers are also incompetent, they waited to tell me at almost the end of the school year that my daughter was having trouble with some of the lessons even though I asked about her progress almost every morning I took my daughter into the classroom. To ensure she was keeping up with the class, having problems socially, and to ensure that make daughter got the most out of her time with Carlie Care. Then all of a sudden she is the kid that is falling the furthest behind in Late April they decided to tell me this conveniently after the dispute with the director? Sounds suspicious to me! Finally, at the end of the year, the school sends home a memo saying the graduation fee is $75 but promises it pays for a venue which was originally Mel Ott in Gretna and the date was set for the 18th of May, Class Shirt, and gift, field trip, and four guest admits. Well, they switched both dates and venues abruptly which meant that her aunt and grandpa couldn't be there due to having already taken off for the 18th and could not change it with the short notice. At the graduation the venue was dirty, hot and too small for its guest, I couldn't even see my own child on their so-called stage which looked makeshift over the crowd of too many people in a little bity space. The class shirt was a distasteful shirt that maybe costs $5 and the gift was a $1 water bottle, $1 necklace, and a short story book that was handmade by a teacher. And the field trip which they had been saying for months was going to be a trip to the aquarium was a petting zoo that consisted of 6 animals brought to the school on the playground. All together the whole "graduation package" maybe cost $30 and they never mentioned the fact the didn't do cap and gown for the kids graduating pre-k4. If you asked me my money went to keeping the director in her oh so loved head to toe Underarmour and Jordans. Plus I find it funny that I drive a Camaro and each time there was a class event they also hounded me about bringing the most expensive items and even asked if I could do more because other parents couldn't afford it. I wonder how other parents would feel to know they are being stereotyped into being broke individuals who can't buy $20 cupcakes for Easter or $10 for Christmas cookies. I finally had to tell them it was making me uncomfortable that they always asked me for more and more when I did my part every time. Please, future parents considering this school DONT!

Daughter been here for only two weeks she Loved her teachers they were amazing! (Ms. Loretta and Ms. Ariane) BUT the director MONIQUE on the other hand is a money hungry , rude unprofessional , negative , envious , I would say a RACIST person also.. I don't even think she care for her students just the MONEY and state money she is receiving . At 2:35 pm i called to let her know I will be less then 10 minutes late due to a accident traffic , she said ok that's fine (never mentioned no late fee amount . Nothing.. Car pool is over for 3:30 and I get there at exactly 3:34 pm (FOUR minutes late, as I kinda predicted ) and she DEMANDED $30 immediately and it was so embarrassing . I had no clue the late fee was THIRTY bucks. If I would have known I would have sent my stepmom, brother, or best friend to pick my daughter up! I would have even paid them 10-20 bucks to avoid the $30 AFTER CARE fee. She acted like 4 minutes killed her precious time and was so upset. SHYT HAPPENS. I'm never late at all.. I don't like the negative vibe she gives when you walk into the facility . If she wasn't the director I would actually like this place. Even her employees see right through her . Please Yall pick a director that will make you feel WELCOMED . After I withdrew my daughter from the school she called me and we argued for 14 minutes . #Unprofessional She even didn't want to let me get my daughter belongings back because she said I'm not allowed back on campus . How ugly lol
