Dealing with Bilda(the owner) has been a nightmare.
I had signed my 3 year old up in February and stopped in June. we do use county pay which Bilda is contracted with. (I’ll get to that part)
There were some red flags from the start. This lady lies a lot, basically talks up herself and the facility really well but actions speak louder then words. I’ll go in order from bad to worse with this place/lady.
When my daughter first started she was still not potty trained. She wore pull ups still. Every time we picked her up she was soiled, you can tell when a pull up has been soiled for a while or it’s pretty new. My husband got to daycare one day and of course she had poop that has not been changed, he asked the worker if she can change her and she just said you can do it. After realizing they didn’t even have a changing station area. Why accept kids that are not potty trained then?? When we stared putting her in training panties, as they requested, she would still have accidents and poop, they would literally get her underwear with the poop and put in a little bag and give it to my like that.
Another incident that was very concerning was when my daughter was hurt. I got to the daycare and Bilda gave me some story that my daughter woke up from nap crying in pain, she had a red mark on her belly. The only thing they can see that happened was she fell asleep on a toy car. My daughter is speech delayed but when I took her to the car and asked her the first thing she said was Miss Joey ( teacher at facility) pinch and made the movement with her hands. That mark was raised and didn’t go away for over a week, the skin also peeled slightly afterwards. I understand kids get hurt accidentally but that story did not add up and my daughter has never said that before about anyone.
Also when we first started there were 4 teachers total including Bilda, I noticed the other 2 were no longer there. It was just Bilda and miss Joey. I also noticed that miss Joey stated bringing her teenagers to the facility as well every day. So it looks like the children are also being attended by children.
Towards the end is when things were getting uncomfortable, this place did not seem like a good fit and I was starting to get ready to look else where and then put in my 2 weeks with them. Well that got escalated when she sent home my daughter in the middle of the day for her behavior and about week later called me after 20 minutes of her being there to pick up my daughter. I can see if my child was destructive or violent, they simply could not control her tantrum. Which I’m ok with, sometimes a facility is the just not the right fit for the child. No problem. At that point at took my child out of there care. I text Bilda that I was withdrawing her because I can not keep leaving work if they can not care for her. I asked if she can forfeit the 2 weeks notice so I can find child care immediately. She refused. Mind you I use county pay. So I had no choice but to pay another provider out of pocket for the next 2 weeks so the county can pay Bilda for not having my child in her care.
Fast forward to today. Bilda sends me messages threatening send her legal team after me if I do not pay her for the month of June. The program that she accepts and is in contract with does not distribute payments until end of following month. I let her know that I signed all forms and mailed to the county why is she contacting me for payment. Also she stated that she is still charging me for my daughters care even after the 2 weeks. She states I did not inform her in writing. I sent her the text and she stated that’s not in writing. She started to become insulting and harassing going back and forth. I’m like don’t you have children you should be tending especially since your way understaffed?
Perhaps clean your facility? That’s another issue. The bathrooms the children use are disgusting. I took my daughter in there one day and both toilets had dried feces. This was not new, that has definitely been there for a while.
This lady is very spiteful, greedy and is very concerning for me that she is a provider of children. Be aware
