I have used this provider for more than 6 months
Absolutely horrid working and childcare conditions they literally refuse to obey or observe doctor's orders their employees are given and give to them. Teachers have to wait for any sort of bathroom break. The only time the floors were clean were when my wife (who worked there and left on good terms) begged me to come in and shampoo her room's carpet and it took me 3 to 4 times every time I want to do this for her to get the discharge water not looking like a barn floor. The water was so disgusting that I wouldn't let my dog walk on it. They only really clean up When they know or think they have an inspection upcoming and when it's over, it's back to business as usual. If parents saw the behind the scenes end of it they'd pull their children immediately. They wanted the business so bad they've let kids with covid siblings back to day care even after the infected sibling was to stay home. They overlook behavioral issues with students until the parents start complaining then they start making sure the issue is actually handled with qualified professionals. They changed stuff what seemed like weekly if not daily. Even when they knew they had communicable diseases running rampant they refused to shut down, until they had too many staff members out due to being sick and couldn't open due to child/teacher ratios. When my wife was on maternity leave they literally hired what seemed like 10 people who didn't last a week let alone a month month. They can't hire qualified staff. Basically their only requirement to work there is have a pulse and be semi mobile. Some staff are constantly sitting on chairs while all their cell phones, or are making small talk not paying attention to what the children in their care are actually doing. Even the director can hardly be bothered be bothered to move around if she's not in her chair. She spent more time in her office watching CNN which you could clearly see through the office window then she did handling issues that were brought to her attention. All entry doors that should have been secured for staff and child safety were rarely if ever secured they were either unlocked or propped open so anyone could just walk in welcome or not during my wife's time working there they had a number of children walk right past the office and out the door into the main parking lot or into the playground in the rear of the facility they have threatened staff with covid vaccines that if they didn't get them they would hold all earned PTO and basically let parents know via email that any staff members wearing a mask were unvaccinated. Therefore They're giving out confidential medical information.
The board members are not qualified other than being a parent. The website is not up to date. Most teachers are not experienced and play on their cellphones. There has been numerous occasions of verbal and physical abuse of children. The director does not care about employees or the children she only seems to care about leaving by 4pm no matter if there is enough teachers to watch the children. Please do not take your child here. They do not shut down to clean when there is COVID exposure.
