Our Vision          

The Vision of The Alphabet Club is to be a place where we:

* Promote each child’s social, emotional, physical and cognitive development.

Our Philosophy

The Alphabet Club’s philosophy is based upon the recognition of the developmental nature of children’s growth. The center was founded on the theories of the famous Swiss psychologist, Jean Piaget, who is widely recognized as the father of Early Childhood Education and known for his studies of “the cognitive development of children”.  Piaget once said, “Children have real understanding only of that which they invent themselves, and each time that we try to teach something too quickly, we keep them from reinventing it themselves.”

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

Horrible child care facility! From the front desk admin to the teachers in the classroom! My son attended this daycare facility for 3 days and was so sick he couldn’t sleep at night. He actually started getting sick on the second day there. We eventually found out he contracted hand, foot and mouth disease from the facility. No one ever even called to see if my son was ok after I called and told them he was running a temp of 102! When I called to tell them that I wanted to withdraw him I was told that I would have to forfeit my infant deposit and also pay for an additional week because I didn’t give a 30 day notice. They didn’t even care about the farewell of my son. So basically he was just a number. The teachers in the classroom are another issue. Whenever I would watch my son on the “cameras” I would see him and other children just walking around the classroom. I never observed them engage in any structured activities, ever! All they did was free play with toys the entire day. Communication is also an issue, in that most of the staff does not speak English. I tried to tell one of my sons teachers something about his lunch/ snack and she responded with “no comprende”. I’m thinking to myself “is this a bilingual daycare? To cut a long story short, the employees at the facility are very nice and pleasant until your child is enrolled. After that your child just becomes part of a quota that they have to fill. They truly don’t care about the children, which is pretty sad. I know a lot of parents don’t have a choice because they have to go to work but trust me it’s not worth the safety and well being of your child. Please don’t send your child to this daycare.

VERY upset parent Apr 16, 2013

i would think twice about taking your child here. I did a surpised visit and found the teacher with my daughter between her legs. I was so upset. and it was clearly on the camera but for some reason the front desk said they couldnt see it. They said she was acting up but I would be acting up too if I was in between a women's legs being hold down. the teachers knew I work a min away they could have called me if they were having issues with my daughter.
