My childs father loves the lewiston area so he wanted our daughter to go to a daycare in the area. He registered my daughter to this daycare, filled out the paper work and took a tour to learn about it. I had no idea about this place until I had to pick her up. There is NO security what so ever here, I have not seen one camera, the doors are always UNLOCKED during the day and locked when the average parent picks their child/children up, there are no sign in and sign out sheets, when I picked up my daughter for the first time they did not ask for ID. So unsafe for children in this day in age. The staff there are not so nice to parents or to the children.
When it comes to paying for daycare, they are so backwards it is unreal. If your child does not show up on a day he/she would normally you still gert charged for it. You must call24 hours in advance to let them know your child will not be there. I keep getting a bill in the mail from them stating i owe for all these days but yet my child has not been there on those days and they have had notice but they swear she was there. which is impossible because we were actually on vacation when they claim she was there and charging me for. When I called and told them to show me proof my daughter there on the days they say she was, they cant because of the lack of security throughout that place.
I do not recommend taking your child there,
my childs father still continues to take her there but i refuse to do so.
