This place doesnt even deserve a star carole and her husband are abusive and do not deserve to be anywhere nesr kids. She needs to retire. I worked for her for almost a year. I let parents know of her ways and a few parents left her daycare facility once i was gone. She chooses favorites, has no patience for the kids and expected me to just sit in the small playroom all day. She was so mean to children, she would threaten them, slam them down, yell at them if they cried. Her husband would threaten the kids with a ruler if they were too loud. But what would you expect from having 9 children in a small room next to his office? Nap time is a good 4 and a half hours, after their quick 5 minute lunch. Children 2 and under werent even allowed to sit at the table. They were lined up against her counter and were fed from the same bowl and spoon, even if the child was sick, she would comment on how disgusting the children were. A good 30 minutes before the parents were to come she would make the child sit and wait and would stare out the window asking the kid "where the hell is your parent?" As soon as the parents pulled up she would all but shove them out the door. We used to get into because i would come out when a parent would pick up their kids and let them know about their childs day. Carole wanted the parents to just pick up their kids and leave she had no time to discuss their childrens behavior. If any of them were buters she would give them hot sauce or soap please keep your children far away from her.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I worked for her for over a year just because I wanted to take care of the kids and make sure they were safe. She used to threaten the kids and would slam the kids down. She would line the 2 and under children against her cupboards and would feed them week old mac and cheese from the same bowl and same spoon. We would get into arguements about the way she would treat the children and speak to them. She does not deserve to be dealing with children is way passed the time that she retires. Her husband used to threaten the children with a ruler.I turned her into the state but obviously they dont care.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I recently found out that Carole was hitting my child and other kids when they wouldn't listen. I was told by my child that she/he had been hit on the face and on the butt. This is not okay in any situation. I have also seen her use negative language toward some of the kids. (Lay down or I am going to spank you. Shut up and watch the T.V. Don't be a cry baby.) This behavior is not acceptable in any manner.

My child attended Carole's daycare for less than a month. She did not feed the children. I walked in one day and she was screaming and cursing at all the kids. my child came home with bruises,bloodynoses and was an emotional wreck. I learned from the assist that cCarole was extremely abusive: slapped them in the mouth when crying (bloody nose), forcefully picking them up be their arms and slapping them around (bruises), bare butt spankings during diaperchanges and the list goes on and on. She is a monster and should nnot be aloneto watch children ever
