I have use and still do this daycare for all of my children. The owner is really nice and thoughtful. She always tends to the children and staff. I never had anything to say but great things. I have a grandson now and trying to get my daughter to put him there when she goes back to work.
I use this childcare for my own children since my child was a baby (now 11)and my other child is (2 years old), and I have nothing but respect for the owner. She is fair person. She really cares about all the children, and is very clean. If you know her you would know she never shows favoritism to her staff or her children. FAR, FAR from every being rude even when you maybe to her.
should be no stars instead of a miserable 3 stars. state of NC needs to screen daycare providers alot more closely, cause this owner is pitiful, I use to work there and she don't pay on time and the checks always bounced but she always got money to buy cars and stuff. dont send your kids there cause she make us treat all her kids like stars and the other ones like s***!! double standard when her 6 kids are there, we have to cater to them and ignore the other ones.
Called and talked to owner. Owner is very disrespectful and rude. She would not let me talk, continued to talk over me when I tried to ask questions. I told her to have a nice day at the end of the conversation and she smirked and hung up. Would never send my child to a daycare where the owner of it acted like this.
