Tuve a mis dos bebés allí durante 2 meses de noviembre a mediados de enero y el día 1/19/22 que decidí preguntar por mensaje de texto, “Por qué los padres no pueden firmar la entrada y salida de sus hijos? Al igual que otras guarderías” y la proovedora se puso REALMENTE DEFENSIVA. Ella se ofendió y me dijo: “Estoy molesta porque ¿por qué compararías mi guardería con otras guarderías? ¿Por que me harias esa pregunta?” y me dijo que tenía que sacar a mis dos bebés de su guardería ese mismo día y encontrar otro daycare EL MISMO DÍA. Como madre, tengo TODO el derecho de explorar y hacer preguntas sin problemas a cualquier proveedor de cuidado infantil/maestro. Aparte del hecho de que uno de mis bebés tiene necesidades especiales y necesita terapia y no permite que los terapeutas entren. Soy una madre que trabaja en la industria de la atención médica y ha trabajado en guarderías antes, ciertamente puedo decir que el servicio al cliente es necesario para trabajar en todas partes y NO es así como se supone que un "Profesional" debe tratar a otros padres. Como proveedor/maestro,se supone que debe hacer que los padres de los niños se sientan cómodos con su servicio, especialmente cuando el servicio NO ES GRATUITO, pero desafortunadamente, la propietaria de esta guardería, la Sra. Rodríguez, tiene un servicio al cliente terrible y una actitud desagradable. Had both my infants there for 2 months November to mid January & the day 1/19/22 that i decided to ask thru text, why Parents are not allowed to sign their children in & out? Like other daycare’s & The provider got REALLY DEFENSIVE. She got offended and told me “I am bothered because why would you compare my daycare to other daycares. Why would you ask that question” & told me i had to remove both my infants from her daycare that same day and find another one ON THE SAME DAY. As a mother i’m in all my rights to explore and ask questions without a problem, to any daycare provider/ teacher Aside from the fact that one of my infants has special needs and needs therapy and she doesn’t allow therapists inside. I’m a mother that works in the health care field & has worked in daycares before, i can certainly say that customer service is needed to work everywhere & this is NOT how a “Professional” is supposed to treat other parents. As a provider/teacher you’re supposed to make the children’s parents feel comfortable with your service especially when the service IS NOT FREE but unfortunately this daycare owner Ms Rodriguez has terrible customer service and a nasty attitude.
