My son was at the daycare for 2yrs and at first seemed to be doing well. When I heard of the accusations against a caregiver the director assured me that the employee was no longer working there. After doing research, i discovered that the accusations were against her. When I spoke with the director again she denied it was her and tried to blame it on another caregiver. It's hard enough to trust strangers with your child and then to be lied to right to your face by the director of the daycare. Ann Marie is not to be trusted.

I didn't want to have to send my child to day care, but since I did, I chose kids galore. The director, anna, is in tune with kids' needs and desires, and she leads the center's caring and professional staff in providing excellent care for the kids. In daycare, my son received instruction in science, social studies, and math concepts as well as the basic reading. My son was happy at kids galore, and I have been happy sending him there. I have occasionally had concerns, and they have been addressed promptly and professionally. I would highly recommend this place.

Kids Galore is a dream come true for me. My work is freelance and sporadic so Kids Galore is the perfect solution. My daughter has been dropping in for 2 years and enjoys her "school" very much. The teachers are amazing - patient, mature, friendly and loving. The structured routine coupled with playtime makes it the perfect mix of predicability and fun for my daughter. Our family is so grateful for Kids Galore and its teachers!

I wish I would have known other parents went through this. My daughter went to school there and we went through a similar experience as anonymous parent did. We went there from another center and I loved two teachers my daughter had. The Director Ann Marie uses poor judgment when it comes to punishment and obviously the person posting on rating the daycare a 5 does not have these children's interest at heart. The Staff and director should represent themselves in the utmost respectful way to these children and parents. Without these kids and their parents none of you would have a job. I saw with my own eyes on video Ann Marie improperly disciplining my child and another. I am saddened that this happened and hope this center is closed and the few good teachers find a better atmosphere to teach children in.

People who want to remain anonymous are broke liers
They have nothing better to do when they are terminated because they can not make weekly tuition payments

I had my child go there for more than a year, and trusted these people to be with them all day, and my child was handled in a very inappropriate way. They used the wrong judgement when it came to disciplinary actions and because my child was no more than a few years old i was not made aware until a teacher who had recently been hired spoke up. i STRONGLY discourage any parent who cares as deeply for their son or daughter as i do to not expose them or enroll them in this centers care. i feel it is my duty as a parent to make all aware of what had happened was so bad it went to through state licensing and from what i gather is still happening even as i have left this center. Please TAKE PRECAUTIONS AND PROTECT YOUR KIDS, i thought mine were safe and i regret from this day on ever trusting my child in their care....I prefer to stay anonymous in avoidance from any scrutiny from the center

The Director of this center has a documented history of bad behavior with the children. I've personally heard her yelling at other children when I dropped off my own. Ive also heard from other teachers that she takes their lunch away as punishment for playing with their food.We no longer attend Kids Galore!
