My daughter attends pre-k at Kids First and SHE LOVES IT! The review that says this is a terrible daycare is completely ridiculous! I spend a good amount of time with my daughter's class in the morning and every one of those kids (in her class AND the others) are happy, well taken care of kids. I've seen a couple of the kids get in trouble, I've seen the way its dealt with and its absolutely nothing that I haven't done or wouldn't do myself.
Do not pay any attention to that horrid review! Seriously! My daughter is happy there, she looks forward to going to school everyday! She loves the staff and the other kids. I love this school, and yeah, it was voted best daycare and preschool for a reason!
As an employee of Kids First I can safely say that this is all nonsense. It sounds like something a disgruntled ex employee would say...
But hey, what do we know? We only got voted best daycare and preschool...
This is by far the worst daycare ever!!!!! The staff is horrible and the boss is even worse. The teachers hurt the kids in ways so that it does not leave marks if they want to punish them for bad behavior, such as, pinching the pinky nail and bending it under so that it causes the child discomfort. The teachers also tap down on the child's head so that the hair covers any marks. If a child bites or hits other children repeatedly, the staff and boss allows for that child to be bit and hit by the others so that they learn their lesson. The teachers have been known to raise their voice at a child and to roughly grab them by their arm or clothes to throw them into a corner for punishment. The boss does nothing but gossip and have favorite employees. She also has her favorite kids and it shows. She is also known for talking about parents and gossiping about other employees. A couple of the teachers have been known for trying to "hook up" with single parents of the kids. One even went so far as to try and break up a father and his girlfriend because "she wanted him." Teachers have been overheard calling kids "pieces of sh*t," and "little a**hole." This daycare is also not sanitary at all. The cook does not wear gloves when handling food and the staff does not wash the children's hands. It has also been seen where a employee gives another child food from a child who is not eating it or doesn't like what is being served. I am very upset and disgusted with this daycare. I am shocked it is still open. Worst. Daycare. Ever.
