Hello, I tried to contact the church to see if they were made aware of the abuse allegations. I was told they were but the lady I spoke to was very rude and nasty. I was so surprised because this is a church she wouldn’t even allow me to get a word in. She was like do you have proof that the abuse happen. I stated the director was asked for footage from that Monday- Wednesday and she stated it would take 3 weeks. I’m not understanding why she was so angry. I was contacting to see if they were made aware. She stated the director will contact the family to let them know the outcome and she didn’t know why I was calling them. She was like you saying you know the abuse happened. I stated to her we don’t have proof. But we was made aware due to a report being made. Why is everyday so angry and don’t want to talk to the families. I pray that no one child gets harmed in this facility because I only can speak for the lady I spoke to today. She was very rude and basically hung stating the director will contact you and that’s all I have to say. She stated this isn’t their first rodeo with people making false allegations against them. I have never attended this church but talking to that one person will make you not want to even try a service out. She was talking down to me and talking fast so you couldn’t even get a word in. I said God Bless you and thank you and she just hung. Basically saying we shouldn’t be calling the church the director will call us back. How is it if you put yourself in that position to talk to people and if someone is asking are aware of what’s going on and you are so angry that makes a parent suspicious like you all are trying to hide something. I pray this help.

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

This daycare has been both verbally & physically abusive to the children attending it. The workers have been seen pushing children down, tripping them, grabbing them excessively hard, allowing toddlers & babies to eat rocks & leaves with no regard for their well-being. The workers also call the babies names & talk disrespectfully about them & their parents. There have been reports to the director who did NOTHING and think this is all some game. Anyone who mistreats children & allows others to mistreat children deserve to be in the darkest depth of hell & rot in jail. These babies are completely innocent & do not deserve the treatment that they have been receiving from this joke of a childcare facility. Please think twice before ever enrolling your children into this terrible facility.

I was made aware of physical abuse and verbal to the children. The teacher Shaneca(verbally abusing) and Brooklyn( verbally and physically abusing) the children. I’m sure their are other staff as well. Ms. Jaynie the director is excellent in speaking and show behavior of someone who only cares about money. When the abuse was brought to her attention she ignored it because she was short staffed. Brooklyn mostly took her physical abuse out against a 2 year old child who had just turned two at the time of his arrival to the daycare. But he’s not her only victim. Shaneca stated the child was Autistic and his dumb mother is in denial even after the child was tested and it was unfounded. I have heard that she calls this particular child out his name on a daily basis. She have taken food away from this child and refuse to allow him to eat or drink. Brooklyn have pinched and grabbed this child by his arm so hard she could of broken it. They have allowed this child to put rocks in his mouth in which he could of choke to death. Thank God a report was made in regard to this child and the family was made aware of the mistreat of this sweet little boy. Thank God that it was reported because the family was not notified by Ms. Jaynie after she was told about the incidents. She never even reported to the family that the child had eaten rocks. We all know when children have teeth coming in still they are looking for things for comfort. But if they had brought this behavior to the attention of the parent it would of given the parent the opportunity to provide oral medication for the child gums. I know there are several reports made on these two workers in regard to this particular child and other children of color as well. Brooklyn sounds to be extremely prejudice against children of a different race. It was also brought to my attention that Brooklyn could of drowned a 6 month old baby on the play ground by pouring a bucket of water on his head. They also laid this baby on hot concrete and he was eating leaves and some got stuck in his gums. Instead of them caring for the children they are causing extreme harm and neglect towards these children. These children are of a different race from Brooklyn. Who sounds extremely prejudice to me. To work in a daycare setting you have to have patience for children. It was also brought to my attention that Shaneca comes to work possibly intoxicated. And announce this to the staff. It was stated that Shaneca makes up animal names for the children and calls them by these names and so does Brooklyn. It is very disheartening to here this. But being a prior Investigator and this information was bought to my attention I have to report it. Because someone’s child is going to be seriously injured at this facility. I think this facility needs to be closed. Not only because of the violations they have had but also the abuse and neglect that is taking place. When the director was ask to show camera footage she stated it would take her 3 weeks…. of course it will so she can edit the footage. This woman have closed the center due to employees and children being sick and her being short staffed on numerous occasions. Parents have to find other care or take off work to care for their children with a last minute notice. I truly believe that you get punish for hurting innocent children who don’t have a voice for themselves and parents is trusting their children with someone who they think will do everything in her power to protect them at least that’s what she say. I’m telling you she’s an excellent speaker. And have her words mastered and will make you think maybe what I was told was incorrect. Parents please pay close to any marks bruises or behavior that your child didn’t have before taking them in. Take pictures and take them to their doctors for documentation. Because when someone who have a camera on at all times as she stated to you should be able to pull the footage from today or 3 months ago. If they can’t provide you with that they are hiding something. Go with your gut because it might save your child’s life. Mental abuse is absolutely horrible and will scar a child for life just like physical abuse. This is very sad because this is a daycare that is affiliated with a church. We know that children get abused and neglected in these so call Christian places all the time. Look at the mental scars the grown ups are coming forward with still today. Ms. Jaynie should be ashame of herself because there will be no way I will allow my business or my name to go down to protect abusers. God Bless you all and I pray this helpful!

I have toured this provider's facility, but have not used its services

I witness a employee yelling and grabbing a kid arm and the child was crying and the employee walked away. I heard an older lady just screaming at the children talking reckless and the director just sit there and doesn’t say a word. I was going to put my child in there but after witness such horrible incidents I changed my mind.
