Concerned Dec 11, 2019

This childcare center currently employs a woman that has been involved with C.P.S. Although, she personally was not charged, she lived with and observed the conditions that caused C.P.S. to remove a child from her husband's custody. She could have separated herself from her husband, and kept custody, but chose to remain with her husband and gave up custody of said child. Although I am not personally involved with this family or child, I do know some of the circumstances. Conditions that I know of, but aren't limited to, unsanitary living quarters (bed bugs, feces, god knows what else), child abuse (confirmed verbal and physical, suspected but not confirmed sexual abuse of a separate female child also living within the household). I'm disgusted that I almost sent my child here. If this woman can not only stand by and watch this happen, but then choose her husband over her child (step-child, but that shouldn't matter), how can you trust her to give proper care to your child. Of whom, she has no personal connection.

I wanted to let everyone know that this daycare is the worse daycare I have ever put my kids in. The owner wanted me to give her money up front so I did. She told me that when the state starts helping then she would take what I ouw her. Well I got fired from my job and some of the reason why I got fired was because of that daycare. My kid was sick all the time. He was never sick when I or my family had him. I talked to her the owner about this and she said that they clean all the time YA RIGHT! I seen kids coming in with stuff running out of there nosie's ect.... So I got fired and she told me that the rest of the money that I didn't spend I would get back. I called and called to find out where my money is. No answer no call back. Finaly I got a call. She said that I had just a little left and she was very rude. This owner has no respect for people or kids. So all in all I got played! The owner is just a money hungery person. I have even heard her yell at the kids. WOW!!! DON"T TRUST THIS DAYCARE!!!!!!!!

My kids had gone their for 3 months and my son was sick all the time. The owner said that they clean but I really don't think they did. The owner was very rude when talking to me and my dautgher even said that she was mean to her. When I came to pick my kids up the owner was very mean to the kids, how she talked to them. I will never take my kids to this daycare ever again. Even when it was Harvard House the teacher's were abusive to the children. How I know this is because I worked their and seen this happen. Didn't see any abuse with the new owner but very rude.
