I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My son has attended this daycare now for two yrs. Like many of the other children and their parents I am very pleased with the service and care my child has recieved! Many of the other children have have also been there for yrs as well. Joyce provides great honest care. She interacts with every child in a way they can understand. She is involved in every activity that is played, along with school sports and extra caricular activities. She will be there supporting . Healthy meals everyday along with a routine. And we all know how important routine is when it comes to our littles. School transportation is available also to any local school and a bus stop is also provided. Long walks and outside activity time so they also get plenty of exercise. I have recomended joyce more than once to other parents I know and they have also been very satisfied. One family has been their for the past six yrs. With that being said I would and still will recomend her to anyone and everyone. I have yet to have a bad experience and have yet to see any innaproriate behavior. VERY PROFESSIONAL SETTING AND PEOPLE!!

I was very upset with the way Joyce took care of my grandkids. She got involved with the grandfather and they would play hog pile and they were on the bottom and the kids were on the top. They would lay on the bed touching each other. They thought the kids did not see what they were doing. They would kiss among other things. When the kids told DCF they were basically called liars for what they saw. The grandfather and husband of Joyce both stuck up for her, which made everyone else liars. That should not be going on in a daycare. Also this affair went on for 6 years. But I pulled grandkids out of daycare. So did a lot of the others that went there. A lot went on there that should not be like her being on the phone all day while watching kids. Going to meet boyfriends, have mother watch the kids. Not professional at all. When it comes to her sex life that comes first with her, not the children. Also I don't mind telling you but if a child says what is going on in that daycare she grabs them by the arm and tells them, that they did not see what they saw and she told them she thought it was all straightened out already. Teaches them to lie and lie to get out of a lie. I have had a terrible time with my grandson after going there. He is very disrespectful towards woman. He has been very rebellious also. My grandson is now 13 and I hear from others that the same behavior is still going on now, as then. You would want to believe that your children and or grandchildren would be in good hands believe me if I knew then what I know now my grands would have never went to that daycare.
