Disappointed Jul 08, 2023

We recently had a very upsetting experience at this "Christian" daycare. We were told over the phone that there were spots available for the fall. When my great-nephew and his dad went in for a tour, they were ushered out after only 5 minutes, with the director saying, "This child is not a good fit." No reason was given. None. No conversation at all about reasons. My nephew was greatly taken aback and politely left. A phone call provided further clarification. The director stated that the child did not behave like a "typical" four-year-old. He gave her a hug. He was loud and very active. She stated that this child was not a good fit. She didn't interview the child's father at all. Therefore, she didn't find out that the child is extremely bright. He counts and understands number sense beyond 100. He knows all the letters (upper and lowercase) of the alphabet. He is beginning to read some words. She didn't find out that he has functioned for a year in an all-day daycare with great success. He sits quietly in a group. He plays well with others. He follows directions. He makes friends. She didn't find out that this child was raised for his first year and a half in a cognitively barren environment, but that he has made incredible progress since his dad gained custody. Instead, she judged him - a four-year-old, on the basis of a five-minute interaction. Who among us would like to be judged on the basis of a five minute snapshot? And then be told - you are not a good fit? It is distressing to me that this day care has the word "Christian" in its title. This was far from a Christian experience.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My child was the child left out side and they had no idea how long he was left out. I was told three different stories and they did not even notify me when it happened. I found out months later when they were finding out they had to go to court.
