Thank you Bennets daddy. We love our little man. It is so great to see our babies grow up. This will be our third year that an entire original class of 6 months olds are entering Kindergarten. Very proud of my staff. My expectations from them are met every time. They make my program what it is.
My review is the polar opposite of the other review. I've always found the staff to be accommodating and professional.
Not once have I been given any reason to believe that my son was not given the best care with individual attention. The staff are always so friendly and it seems like every staff member knows the situation of every family. I'm very satisfied with this day care and would recommend it to any of my friends.
I am truly sorry you feel the children were not taken care of. They were at the day care for many hours a day while you were dealing with other matters. I assure you they were loved, fed and well taken care of. I would open all of my past and present families phone numbers free to pick from and I am certain that families will continue to come. I wish your experience with us would have been better.
Had my two children there for about 9 months as infants. Felt like I was fed quite a few lies when I went there and visited... and I based my decision on entering my children into the daycare on these lies. One major problem I had was that my kids were constantly sick. Every time I took my kids there, there were children coughing with runny noses. I was always getting other baby's bibs in my stuff, and then I knew how they were always sick. Take a bib from a sick child and use it on my babies, wiping their mouths with it and everything, one could see how this spreads germs. I didn't feel like anyone truly cared when I voiced concerns. The issue might be resolved momentarily but would then come back again inevitably. Sadly I did not feel like our kids got the best care either. At one point I saw one of the workers leave my infant on a changing table and walk across the room. I guess the issue was addressed but there were certain people that worked there that just seemed like they had better things to be doing with their time than taking care of my children. I wouldn't recommend this daycare. Think twice before sending your child there!
