I have used this provider for less than 6 months

This is the worst place I have ever seen. The director lied to me about how many kids were there at one time. I had a friend tour earlier and she said there were 7 infants, but the director said there were only 5 in the room at a time. I would never suggest this to anyone.

This center was a terrible mistake. As a Parent I take my responsibilities in providing for my children very seriously. If I knew now what I didn't know then I would not have the guilt of making my two small children attend this center. My infant always had a full diaper when I picked her up. Prior to being cared for here she had never had a severe diaper rash. After being here a couple weeks, she had severe diaper rashes on a consistent basis. I began marking her diapers and to my surprise she was never changed in the 8 hours she was there on numerous occasions. My toddler would come home filthy and often had suspicious bruising and bite marks and complained that her teacher was mean to her and yelled at her. She would complain that she pulled her thumb. Things a small child would not know to make up. At first, I thought they disliked the center because it was a change from in home care and they needed to adjust. I gave it much too long before I began noticing the neglectful conditions they were subjected to. The diapers I brought in seemed to disappear very quickly, especially considering my daughter was not always changed throughout the day. My concerns were dismissed by the director who is more about the bottom line herself then actually providing quality care. And believe me my payments were always on time. On one occasion I heard her speaking with her colleagues about "beaners" at that point I immediately pulled my latina children from the center.

After the fact I pulled their reports and have seen the countless violations they have had. How they are still open is beyond me. As a mother I feel guilty for subjecting my children to this center. Do not risk your children's safety and health or your peace of mind!

I am the owner

Venessa was a teacher who was fired for a breach of confidentiality and now is causing problems.

My children have been attending this center for over a year now. I have had horrible experiences at other centers but this center is all about family involvement. Theyhave some wonderful teachers who really want to educate the children so they are ready for kindergarten I would recommend this center to anyone looking for a educational childcare center.

My son was beat here by an unqualified teacher who was put in charge of my son illegally!!!! I literally watched it happen!! The owner Rachelle and director and assistant director Celest and Vanessa were most unhelpful! They did everything in their power to hide it. They are dirty and violate licensing regularly! NEVER TAKE YOUR CHILD THERE! many other daycares provide CCAP.

The staff here is not up to par. The director in nice but the young mouthy bitch in the office needs to be put in her place. She is degrading to staff and children.
