Grace Mom's Day Out - Broken Arrow OK Child Care Center

Both of our girls have gone here for years. It is an amazing environment for children. The staff is great and the facilities are well kept and inviting. They treat the kids great as well as educate them. We have been very thankful to have had such good lucky finding Grace.

I have used Grace Moms Day Out for 5 years now for my 2 smallest children. I absolutely LOVE this place and I SO appreciate the teaches and staff. I have referred at least 10 moms to this program; all of who love it as much as I do :) The director and teaches will send you a text if your child has anything going on and I appreciate the communication. Sweetest staff ever. I have been there early and late and they are always being wonderful to the little ones. I especially appreciate how they are locked down tight and have proper security at the entry. A very loving safe environment.

We just moved here not too long ago so we dont know anyone. Anyways we started MDO in February. MY 17 month old at the time had separation anxiety but she made it through the days and the teachers were so sweet. They both quit and she got moved up. Well she cried when I left her with the new teachers and kids and she had a hard time the first 4 days and according to them everyday until they said "maybe you should take your daughter to her pediatrician. " the main teacher said my daughter does want to play with the other kids (thats a lie) then she they said on the paper she ate lunch but her lunch box was full. She was always in timeout and shes a distraction bc she cries. Wow. I should of read the reviews before spending money at this place. She was always thirsty when I picked her up. She always cried when we pulled in the parking lot (that should of been my sign) they gave her 6 days to get comfortable. This is a toddler we are talking about and you cannot expect each child to be the same or treat them all the same. They are all different. Must be nice to pick and choose which kids you want in your MDO program. I would NEVER refer anyone to this place. They do not know how to take care of children in hard situations. You dont know if they actually do what they say..I wish I could of watched a day. Please dont put your child in this place. Dont waste your money here. My daughter is now at a loving place that she loves. Im so much more happier and so is she.

Thank you ladies for your comments. I have been looking for a mommy day out program for my child and thanks to your insight I will NOT be choosing this one! So sorry you poor babies endured this kind of treatment.

My son attended GMDO for about 9 months. At the beginning of this summer he was switched into a new class. I thought everything was going well, but after a few weeks the coordinator, Nicole, approached me when I was picking up my son to tell me that they had issues at nap time. My son wouldn't nap at the appropriate time and he was throwing fits about napping. Apparently this had been happening for awhile and yet this was the first time I had heard about it. Not only was I upset that no one had informed me of the problem, I was also upset at the way Nicole handled the situation. She chose to confront me at the pick-up window with a half dozen other parents waiting to get their child. I was extremely embarrassed and upset with the lack of discretion on her part. She then informed me that because my son would not nap at the correct time that I would need to pick him up before nap time. Are you kidding me?? They couldn't handle a two year old boy who didn't want to nap at 12:30 but who would fall right asleep at 2 pm (the time he naps at home). They are absolutely ridiculous. What kind of a child care center can't take care of a child who naps at a different time than the rest of the kids? I honestly believe that if you don't attend their cult of a church they will find ANY reason to kick your kid out.

When I picked up my 19month old on her first day at Grace MDO she was frantically saying..."drink drink drink!" Then I noticed her water and milk were untouched. In the car on our way home from grace my daughter drank half her water and almost an entire 10 oz bottle of milk. So for 6 hours my child did not get one drink offered to her. When I called the director she tried to say that my child refused her water at lunch. I know this is a LIE because the daycare worker herself told me they do not offer the kids their drink at lunch only after they have eaten. Also, we told the workers that my daughter still goes down with a bottle at nap time several times. On her activity sheet it said, "no bottle today big girl." It is disturbing to me on so many levels. First, the workers can not follow simple instructions to give a child a bottle at nap time. Also, they work with children and don't have the common sense to offer a toddler a drink all day especially after the kids played outside for an hour in 90 degree oklahoma weather. This is the quality of care that you can expect from Grace Mom's Day Out. I should also mention that when we asked for a refund minus the one day of care and the $50 enrollment fee they tried to tell us we needed two weeks to cancel and that they could only refund the last two days of childcare.

I do not think this mom's day out program knows how to handle children. My 18 month old was easily 6 inches taller and much heavier than the children in his class. He appeared more rough than the other children because of his size. He "hugged" a little girl too hard one day so on and so forth. Rather than showing him the proper way to hug someone or help him understand, they gave me the choice of him being kicked out or the option to have him in a pack-n-play ALL DAY LONG instead. My friend's 14 month old son was offered the option of a highchair ALL DAY LONG. I would never allow my child to be in a pack-n-play or highchair for 6 plus hours. My 4 year old was bit and his skin was broken. It was bruised for a week. The child that bit him was NOT kicked out. I don't know what these teachers are thinking! DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILDREN HERE!!!!!!!
