Horrible place to send your child. I would not reccommend it! The staff has no clue how to properly communicate with the parents and they are never in the office to try and communicate with them. The tuition is expensive and yet they feed the kids bologna sandwiches and chicken fingers all the time, not to mention a snack as a few pretzels or a banana for breakfast. So cheap. The teachers don't even watch the kids like they should. I have seen the teachers sitting on the bench outside talking to each other while the kids are on the playground, not even paying attention, and then when they see the parents they let them freely go out the gate. What if my child was to get hit by a car? Also, my child has come home with rashes and ant bites all over her. That is not ok. Definitely reconsider if you are thinking about this daycare.

DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE!!! If you care at all about your little one, you will NOT trust them to this group of rude, inexperienced and inconsiderate group of individuals. Firstly, we were told that our child would be assisted with potty training. Not only did this not happen, but my child developed a condition called "encopresis" in which she now withholds bowels movements for weeks at at time. The doctor has told us this could be a result of being embarrassed or made to feel bad when going in front of other children. Secondly, I have consistently heard the "assistants" yelling at and berating the children for no reason at all. Thirdly, they sleep on dirty floors, play with dirty toys, and their only playground is overrun with ants and mosquitos. They will also lie directly to your face. Once, my child came home and said that a teacher had hit her. When I questioned one of the "assistant directors" she said that it was not true. I asked if she was put into "time out". She directly said to me, "Well, we don't really believe in time-out." Sure enough, the next week when I went to pick up my child, they said she was in a time out. They not only LIE but they are INCONSISTENT with their own lies. They also conduct an "ice cream" day during the summer time, in which they charge $2/per child. What are they giving them for $2 you might ask? A .25 CENT POPSICLE!! As if we are not paying enough in tuition as it is! Not to mention, the garbage they feed them for meals and snacks. And then they have the nerve to have an attitude if you don't bring them their precious $2 dollars. Trust me when I say, it's not the money, it's the principle. My child has learned next to NOTHING while being in this school, other than to learn to hit, yell, scream, push, throw temper tantrums and talk back. Which, I should tell you, she never did before attending this daycare. They also have the nerve to ask for donations, and have fund-raisers! Here's an idea: tell me what my child needs, and I will provide it. All in all, if I can help only 1 person in their daycare search, my job is done. Please, please, please do not send your child here. There are other choices. We are exploring ours now.
