I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I am a parent of a two year old and four year old. Perry’s unexpectedly bought over our current daycare Fricchione Daycare. We paid a lot at Fricchione compared to what Perry’s charged. Instead of lowering our payments to match their other daycare they kept our prices the same. All of our teachers left because they didn’t pay them well with no benefits or retirement. Our teachers were amazing so it was very upsetting to see them go. They also canceled our cleaning service and made teachers clean instead. They no longer offer snack and milk either so not only do we send in lunch but we also have to provide snacks etc. at Fricchione we had excellent teachers these new teachers are young and just alright. I couldn’t really tell you what the new teachers were doing because we didn’t get many updates. There’s a lot of teacher turnover, which is very unfortunate. Also, at our old for Shawnee facility they had lots of parties for the kids where they would offer pizza etc. that has all ended as well. I feel like the new owners aren’t very nice and friendly. I felt like this was more of a business transaction and a lot of parents unfortunately are leaving because of this. Let’s just say this place used to be a 5. It’s really sad what’s happened to this place.
