I am very disturbed and disappointed in the behavior of Erika Jordan, the director of the daycare #269 in Maumelle. On August 5, 2021, Erika Jordan decided to call the police on a parent who's child attended the daycare since 2016. Instead of Ms Jordan taking accountability for her mistake of reassuring a parent their child was NOT on the waiting list and DID have a spot for the upcoming school year starting on Monday, August 9th, she proceeded to CALL 911. She also specifically gave a stereotypical description and used the word "hostile" with the 911 operator, prompting the police to show up. If this is how this daycare reconciles mistakes with parents who would want to send your children here? And this is just the short version.
