I am an employee

I was employed here for a month, one of the owners, Marta Bumbray, was very welcoming and very nice and always communicated with me. The other owner, Trish Ray had an issue with my sister who also worked there. She fired my sister after only 2 days of employment because she felt my sister complained too much about things that she felt needed to be changed in the infant room. At that point, I felt uncomfortable of course. But I continued to work there. Time goes on, I'm noticing the kids don't do many activities throughout the day because their schedule doesn't really allow for them to do anything meaningful. A lot of their "learning" was rote memorization rather than interactions and engagement. The teacher I worked with tended to be very verbally aggressive toward the children when she got frustrated (if they had an accident, or did something they weren't supposed to she would yell at them or make them feel bad by yelling "WHY DID YOU PEE ON YOURSELF?!"). A few weeks into the job and I no longer had any desire to be there, the environment didn't feel right, both owners became unprofessional in their demeanor and the way they talked. They both cursed while holding conversations with employees and spoke negatively about parents who gave them any problems. I understand being frustrated, but Marta Bumbray even said at times that she didn't want to be there, and for a LARGE portion of the day, both ladies would be gone for hours leaving one of the 2 year old teachers in charge. The front door would be left open so at any point a stranger could wander in. It wasn't safe for the children at all. The playground has a lot of toys on it but most aren't really age appropriate for children under 3 years old. And to top it all off, I put my 2 weeks notice in and then decided not to return at all, and did not receive one of my final paychecks on time. I contacted both women about this, and there were many lies told such as my check would be delivered to my home from ADP (I contacted ADP and they told me they don't deliver individual checks), and Marta Bumbray never returned any of my phone calls and she blocked my number!!! Very suspicious. I am still currently waiting to see if they are actually going to make sure I get paid or if I'm going to have to file a complaint against them with BBB or the state of Maryland. If you are interested in employment here, RUN! If you are interested in enrolling your child here, RUN! This is not a suitable place for employment or for children!

Brand new building. Everything is new. Very reasonable rates and loving enthusiastic teachers. My kids love it!! They serve the new Ducketts Lane ES and the bus stops right in front of the daycare center.
