Mustard Seed Kid Care LLC - Vineland NJ Child Care Center

I regret allowing my daughter to stay at this daycare as long as she did! As a Parent I feel as though the owner/director always justified the actions of her staff, even when they were wrong. There is definitely a lack of communication between management & staff and the turnover rate is at an all time HIGH! How are parents suppose to trust you with their child/children if you can NOT maintain staff?! Please spare yourself the aggravation and take your child/children to a daycare center where your business will be appreciated.

Ms. Harvey first started taking care of my son in her home. Where she had fewer kids and it was much more intimate. When she opened her center up she was nowhere to be found. She hired someone to administratively run the daycare because Ms. Harvey is not competent of doing that and the reason I say that is because when she had the daycare in her home she could never keep her books straight. She would charge me for days he was not there, she never knew if he was coming or going. If you do decide to take your child there make sure you are writing your days and getting charged appropriately. With that being said when she opened the new daycare they did not charge me for 5 days. I am not going to complain about that and that is what I mean about her keeping her books straight. She really is all over the place and that is not good. There was a pamper issue. I would take pampers and wipes in and it seemed as if they were using the pampers for the other kids. I know how many pampers my son uses every mom knows that and it just was not adding up. I mentioned it and then they started to write down the number of pampers via the Brightwheel App they have even then it was not adding up. Various times when I opened my son's lunchbox the bowls and dishes were just thrown in there food and liquids all over the place it was really disgusting. I had to wash his lunch box various times. My son got pink eye two times and a child had lice. Now I get that daycares charge for the days that the child is ill however when she clearly sends a message through the APP “Watch your little ones a child at the center has pink eye.” As mentioned before, once she opened she was nowhere to be found she would only be there on Friday's to collect money. The few times that she was there during the week her demeanor was totally different, no smile, no good morning, I really believe that perhaps she is bipolar. She is a business owner dealing with people your emotions cannot be all over the place. I recommended people to her center not once did I get a thank you. It is not by coincidence that person also took her son elsewhere. On Friday's she was "happy go lucky" collecting money. I get it, she is running a business, she has to pay her bills and employees however she claims that this it is a Christian based center. That is not the way people are treated and Christ would not approve. The straw that broke the camel's back was when she sent out a mass message stating that part time students MUST become full time or find alternative care. Way to go Michelle!!! For me it was not an issue because God was leading me to find alternate care. Therefore, when she sent that message I had already found another daycare provider. However, how about those single moms and moms in special circumstances? The message she sent was so condescending. No remorse, no feelings. Like I said it did not affect me at all. She then was sending warm cozy messages through the App where everyone was able to view, such as, and I am quoting "Ok Thank You Mama. God Bless you and your family and Eli of course! Love ya!" as soon as she would send me that message she texted me privately asking when I was going to pay the balance. Now I must say that I have always and I will repeat ALWAYS had a satisfactory account with her meaning that I would pay on time. She NEVER had to hunt me down for payment. Please keep in mind I pay out of pocket I do not get help from the state and I was still on time. She can never say otherwise. They also tried this system where they would charge you a week in advance. When I left she did not even ask about my son she gave me a shoprite bag with all his belongings and sent me on my way. Heartless. I would not recommend this center. All I have to say is that GOD gives and he takes away. We must stay humble.

My son was there part time for five months, and he got comfortable and nice and sweet, it took him a couple of weeks. Now they are letting go of all the children that are part timer to make space for full time students. They're is no reason for them to treat my son with no concern to his adjustment in their facility. I'm am dissatisfied that they showed no concern or love that I have no choice but to take him out. It's all about the money to them. Not even a goodbye to my son. Heartless and cruel to treat someone like this all cause money is more important than feelings. I rate a star one cause they don't have a star zero. The end
