I have used this provider for less than 6 months

This daycare MUST be shut down! To all my fellow mamas out there DO NOT send your little ones here!! The owner, Nicole drinks heavily and does drugs! My little guy attended here for just only 3 days, after I picked him up that 3rd day I never went back! It cost me my job due to thinking I had secured child care but it’s better than burying my son! I could smell alcohol on her breath, and I cannot even fathom how she is still is business! She does put on a great front, when I went for the tour I was beyond ecstatic that I had finally found a place that fit everything I was looking for however as you can tell by the limited stay that quickly changed! My little guy had multiple unexplained bruises on his body and when I asked him he said “I made miss Nicole mad” he also complained he was starving when I picked him up (although according to Nicole he had ate great all day) and my poor precious angel was so hungry I couldn’t give him food fast enough once we made it home, he ate so fast and acted just as he said, like he was starving! He also informed me of several of “miss Nicole’s friends” that had come over while he was there and daycare was in full session, he stated they would play with him and that they would all go to miss Nicole’s special room leaving the children unattended! There is so much more but as I am working on ensuring no other child EVER suffers because of her I am limited on what’s said! When I had tried to talk to her about my concerns, she didn’t care and when I told her I was contacting the stare she said “that’ll be your last mistake” and I have not spoke with her since!
