I'm a grandparent and have seen and heard first hand. So yes I have the right to heed a warning to parents or guardians.
Wish there was a NO STAR cuz this is the worst daycare facility ever. Definitely have a staffing issue. This daycare spends more time closed than open. There's no school curriculum taught at all.
In my opinion it's just a huge free for all for the children.
The children do is whatever they want whenever they want. Absolutely NO school type structure for those pre school age. No teaching of letters, numbers or colors. They're not even taught to count or recognize the letters in their name. They're not taught how to tie their shoes or at least taught what it looks like for them to attempt. They need to teach what a penny is. How to tell time on a clock or at least what 12 noon looks like. INTRODUCTION TO BASIC EDUCATION definitely is lacking here.
Lunch usually consists of baked beans or beans and weenies.
Children are screamed at. Parents or guardians are texted NOT called when a child is ill. God forbid a child has an accident or vomits on themselves. They're sent home without the dignity of being cleaned up. If you send clothes with your child in the morning. Sometime during the day they're missing.
The employees are very rude.you can hear them yelling at the kids. Doesn't care if kids are being bullied. Worst daycare ever!!
