Love the daycare they are very attentive and provided my family with so much support during the Pandemic.
I love how they have the kids grouped by age. My kids have learned so much and have been going here their entire life. They have an awesome staff and they work with me and are more than just a "daycare". They are like family now.
My children have attended this facility for more than five years. I love the staff, they are more like family now. They are willing to work with parents and provide excellent to my children and grandchildren. I have and will always recommend this facility to all my family and friends. You will not regret bringing your child to this facility.
The lady that runs the place, which I believe her name is Toya is very rude. Yells at children and treats her kids better than the rest of the other children. Talks to parents with an attitude. Is on her phone majority of the time. During my tour she was on the phone 75% of the time texting and smiling away. Unprofessional. I have been here more than 5 times and I can say that the facility is clean. But they need better staff and someone better in charge. Children were singing songs with curse words and staff member were also using profanity. Unacceptable. Also a staff member dragged a child by the arm and led her to the back door to go outside. I do not recommend. I've read the other reviews and highly disagree
Daycare is well taken care of everything appears to be new, plenty of toys and activities for the kids to do. Kids are feed 3x a day plus 3 snacks. Employers are very nice and well mannered I would recommend this daycare to all who work a lot and need reliable child care.
I don't know who this Tiffany Mathers is, but In Between Time Academy does not condone any funny business, and holds their staff to high standards. They do accept CCDF Vouchers. My son has been in their care since October 2016 and hasn't had any issues - not even diaper rash. They communicate with parents and encourage parents to be active with events. I contacted the daycare and asked if they've had a parent by the name of Tiffany Mathers and they said no. Beware of false reviews. Also, the location on the map is incorrect. If you are a parent reading these reviews, I encourage you to call and set up a walk through of the daycare. Everything is top of the line and more than what you would expect from a home daycare.
i do not recommend this place or any other place that allows drugs around children!
