I have used this provider for more than 6 months

We have used Annette's daycare since 2017. We have had two children come up through it. There is nothing negative to say about this experience. Annette really cares about the kids and goes the extra mile to make sure they are safe. I have two daughters who are better off for their experience there.

I utilized this daycare for both of children at one time or another. Annette treated my children like family! They had plenty of space, nutritious meals and snack, and loved going everyday. Annette has great communication with her parents and makes sure that you know your children are well cared for.

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

I would like to clarify my review, because I do NOT want anyone else to go to this daycare. Take into account that I have absolutely no connection to her and never in a million years wish to be writing this- but I feel it is my obligation as a parent. Just because CPS did not find EVIDENCE of abuse- sadly- Because the system does not take childrens words for it. That does not mean that it did not happen and this daycare, in my personal opinion, SHOULD NOT BE IN SERVICE. It makes me sick to my stomach to think of anyone else being hurt the way mine were. No, I don’t believe Annette personally abused my children. But she allowed a man to have access to them in her garage. Look at the reports- my children were not supposed to be in her garage but they were. They proved that she was allowing them in this space and it was not approved for her to do so. That is enough reason right there not to take your kids here. And they have life long-lasting issues from going to this daycare. I only found out about it because my youngest daughter- who was 2 at the time- told me how scared she was to go in the garage and she did not want to go there. That was my first red flag. They both fought me every morning and I regret every day not listening and immediately pulling them out, because I trusted her. She is very deceiving- she earned their trust and they DID like her. But she allowed someone access, probably made some sort of profit, and her review back makes me absolutely sick to my stomach. Of course she wants your children to come to this daycare! Annette- if you are reading this. You should be ashamed of yourself. Please do the world a favor and do not allow yourself to be around children. I don’t know if you were abused as a child or what- but what you did is NOT okay. My older daughter was afraid to tell me any information when it came to her garage and she is needing therapy from this experience. I hope no one buys into your church going, Christian act that you put on, as I sadly, did. You know full well what happened. Stop lying to yourself and others. No one deserves to go through what I did and I will not just silently allow you to abuse other children.

Annette and Ashley are absolutely fantastic and have basically been extended family to us. Our older daughter had gone from 6 months until recently entering school and our younger daughter still attends. They always go above and beyond to keep the kids safe, cared for, happy and more prepared for entering school. I would definitely recommend this day care!

I am the owner

I am the owner and operator of this daycare and I would like to comment on the above comment. I have pictures and videos showing how happy her children were as well as texts from the parent saying how much the children loved me and my daycare.The last day these children were in my care they were talking about how excited they were to return the next day and how much fun they have been having, they were doing great in my daycare. It is cruel to write false statements that could hurt your children and an Innocent person. I pride myself in having a very good relationship with every person I have done daycare for in the past and present. I love my job, the children and their families and I will not let that change because of your false comment. Thank you to all the wonderful families that have made my daycare a success for over 30 years.

I wish there was a review telling me not to choose this daycare. Please don't take your kids here- my children are petrified.
