Reviews
I am a Director at Good Child Day Care Center, and I have been involved with other centers of this type for almost a decade. I am very familiar with various styles of management and the strict standards provided by NYAEC, the credentialing body for dat care centers nationwide, and compliance is a priority.
The teachers are very well trained, as witnessed by videos, and their responses to children with control issues exemplary. The facilities are clean and well maintained, with some deferred maintenance issues corrected by the new Executive Director, Bill Okwuosa.
This is a clean safe environment with a diverse staff and student population that provides excellent care and learning opportunities
The new coordinator is a pervert. I have had my son enrolled in this facility for over a year and was recently offered a position by the coordinator Bill Okwuosa. I came in for "training" and he attempted to extort me using his position of power over my son. He immediately requested that I perform dehumanizing and degrading tasks and when I tried to decline he threatened to call social services and report me as a drug abuser. I am now suing him and the facility for extortion! NEVER TRUST THIS MAN OR THIS FACILITY with your children!
