This daycare needs serious help!!! They basically scare children,I have had numerous times my “children” come to me and tell that dhs has taken a child and that they always use the dhs thing out of control,, and my children also tell me how strict and careless they are of the children there and sometimes it looks and seems like a bullied staff there.. they have angered me entirely, to have minds like theirs working with children,,the DIRECTOR themselves have accused my oldest who is only 12 but 11 at the time, of doing inappropriate things with my 6 year old SON AND TO THINK THATS HOW THESE PPL WOULD EVEN THINK OR GO TO SUCH AHORRIFIC ACCUSATION,,it makes me wonder why someone who automatically thinks this way is running a place for children having a mind in that manner, also I feel at numerous times personally in a smart ellic way as though wanting to personally pick with me, a feeling of attack and an all around weariness mostly from the director,, they put children down and make them feel different or bad about something they have that they can’t control.. my son is medicated as robot everyday now because of him being also in therapy for his behavior and other things,but has a legit documented condition that’s unknown at the moment due to him only being 6,,and being tested through therapy,it’s been hard for us parents as well as him BUT I continuously get called at work with a story that makes it sound as though my children are horrible and can’t be controlled but one is and has be medicated.. something needs to be done at this place.. I’m looking to relocate as of now they have to keep enrolled bcuz their on vouchers.. and we have to work.. I DONT TRUSTTHIS PLACE AND GIVE THUMBS DOWN COMPLETELY AND IM NOT THE ONLY PARENT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO!!! My children tell me more and more everyday of the ugliness that goes on there and I feel bad for the other children and the parents who are unaware!!!
