I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Everyone should know, the first reviewer of this business on YELP is the director of the daycare. In looking at her other reviews, she called a fast food employee "worthless" because he forgot to put an item in her bag. Everyone makes mistakes... but "worthless"? That's who is "caring" for your children at We Kare Daycare. I enrolled my child in before and after school care in October 2017. We lasted 6 months before we were wrongfully terminated. Celeste is a bigot and this place is not LGBTQ friendly. My child is transgender, and once that came out at the daycare there were nothing but problems. For being a Christian facility, you would think that it would be accepting and tolerant of people with differences. Unfortunately that was very much not the case. Some things that occurred are: My child was forgotten at school. The daycare blamed my child. My child was written up for kissing and being overly affectionate with students. Video surveillance was misinterpreted. Because my child is transgender, the daycare colored everything my child did as sexual. In reality, my child was playing and was very close in proximity to this other child, who also said my kid didn't kiss them. Even though this other child also said the kissing did not happen, Celeste refused to rescind the disciplinary action against my child. My child was denied using the bathroom of their choice. The doorbell outside broke and we were left standing outside in the rain because no one would come to the door. My child is a vegetarian. Celeste told me to bring a doctor's note supporting a medical need for a dietary restriction. I told her it was my child's decision, not a medical need. They would not allow me to provide a lunch on full care days, so there were some days my child was not able to eat because they did not accommodate with a vegetarian meal. This also included parties, all that was available on St. Patrick's Day was meat sandwiches. My child could not participate. My child had allergic conjunctivitis, a non contagious form of pink eye. 100% not contagious. I have a doctor's letter to prove it. I sent my child to daycare and was promptly called to pick my child up. I complied and picked up my child, though I explained that it was allergies. The next day, Celeste called me negligent and questioned my parenting, and told me it was my fault that other staff and students were out sick. That is impossible, since my child's allergic reaction was not contagious. She implied that it was my intention to get everyone sick, so daycare services were TERMINATED. The teachers at We Kare Daycare are hit and miss. Miss Jennifer was the WORST, and thankfully she no longer works there. Miss Julie was very kind to my child, and she quit (probably because of how messed up that place is). Miss Nicolette is a strong, amazing woman. She doesn't belong at We Kare Daycare. She belongs somewhere that her determination and love for children is matched by other caregivers around her. Miss Maria doesn't always understand what you are trying to tell her, and sometimes she does yell at the kids. Miss Angela is another teacher who doesn't belong at We Kare Daycare. She is such a sweetheart, and I fear that place is going to drain all of that sweetness out of her. As for the facility itself, most of the time the classrooms were clean. Breakfasts were almost always unhealthy (hash browns or marshmallow cereal) and snacks were unhealthy most of the time too. Goldfish crackers, cookies, chex mix... No fresh fruits or vegetables like apples and carrots. The hours of operation were ideal (that's why we stayed so long!). There aren't very many daycares in the area that open at 6am, so we tried to stick it out as long as we could. However, I am able to see clearly now who Celeste is and she is not someone I want "caring" for my child. If you are LGBTQ+ or are an Ally, do not give this place your business.
