TEDDY THE OWNER IS HORRIBLE. My son has been attending here for a few months and today he threw a fit because he didn’t want to go to daycare, he said he didn’t feel SAFE and that is a huge concern to me as a mother. She had nothing but ATTITUDE with me saying that if he didn’t calm down he had to leave. She doesn’t know how to handle children at all and should NOT be allowed to even own or be head of a daycare! I’m looking in to other daycares because of her specifically, for 1 I am the parent, I know how to handle my child, for 2 getting attitude with me is a BIG MISTAKE, and for 3 if my child is saying your mean then I’m taking his word over yours! He’s been hurt twice, getting pushed off the play ground in the back, having a gash in his eyebrow from a child throwing toys, and not calling AS SOON AS IT HAPPENS IS NOT OKAY. This place is horrible for children. They are not safe here.

teddy, the owner, is absolutely the RUDEST woman I have ever come across to be in the business of dealing with children. YOUR children. OUR children. kids in the open area fighting every single day with no adult around, teddy cutting you off mid sentence and walking away. her favorite statement is "ok bye" and walking away. she has stolen PIN numbers from one of my relatives and used it to get daycare money she was NOT entitled to and denied it. she is racist and doesnt want little girls hair braided any more per her orders, "she doesnt want to see it in her building again." theres more to that ^ than I want to expand on right now. will harrass you about monies due and make sure your names are places on the door for EVERYONE to see not only your name but how much you owe. she threatens to throw your children out of the daycare all the time for her own petty reasons. not to mention the BS she feeds these children. oncor t.v. dinners, 3 or 4 pizza rolls, 4 or 5 raviolis, children get water on her schedule, not when they might be thirsty, could go on and on. i even know a girl who quit working there because of how teddy runs the places, talks to kids and how many children per adult is in the rooms. which is WAY above state allowances!i highly suggest not enrolling your children here!

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

if i could give it a 0 at this point I would
extremely rude owner uneducated staff. too many children not enough workers. shitty food served. toddler gets hurt and bit every day. items sent to daycare with toddler gets lost EVERY DAY. teddy will even hang up the phone on you threaten to call the police and walk away from you in the middle of a conversation when you confront her about an issue.
