She makes herself seem like she's very nice and a great child care provider when you first tour talking about the activities they do and such. But once you start you notice. I was a high schoool student when I had my daughter. And got a voucher for the child care. And she's get into arguments with me saying my daughter was a problem (she was there from 6 weeks to 7 months). Because she was there 7-3 and it was too many hours. Often I'd come to pick up my daughter and she'd be in the car seat already for god knows how long. She'd gossip about all the parents. And call the kids names numerous times in front of me. I left after I had dropped my daughter off at day care for my graduation rehearsal and she said she didnt want her there because I wasn't in school anymore. (I still had the voucher and she was still
Getting the money)
Stay away from this woman. I had my child there for 5 months. Within that time, I caught her in a few lies where she tripped up and admitted leaving the kids alone for a period of time.
But the worst is what I witnessed. She had a boy (maybe 4-5-6 years old) who was apparently problematic. She segregated this poor kid like a diseased Dog. On his last day there, IN FRONT of this poor Kid, she announced it was his last day and made all the other kids cheer for his departure IN FRONT OF HIM. He was clearly aware of what was going on, and the look on his poor face will haunt me forever. Deb is an awesome saleswoman when it comes to selling you on her commitment, but a poor child care provider Once she starts getting your $$.
