Honestly this place is horrible, one there isn't enough staff for the kids, I walked in while I was dropping off my child and I witnessed another child that was older enter the class while all the kids were sitting in the circle and hit another child while he was leaving the room, it took her a few minutes to finally get up in a class room with at least 25 kids and instead of someone comforting the crying child she went to the door way trying to talk to the kid that hit the child and just let her cry by herself for 5 minutes. And my child didn't want to leave me so I waited for the one teacher to finally come over to my son and help me with him 10 mins later. The girls there are absolutely stuck up all about drama and be careful they might be after your significant other. A close friend of mine was married and the girl there slept with him and ended up getting pregnant. Making every experience just dropping off there child awkward and extremely uncomfortable. Because of course all these girls do is talk about is what they think they know and talking bad about other women who take there children there. They are completely two faced and try to be your friend to figure out your life and ruin it. I had another friend deal with cps because they didn't like the mother and made allegations on the mother and made the child lie about a story. It's honestly sad how these girls act. They are there to help grow minds while there parents are away working to support them. Also I heard rumors the owner pays her employees under the tables so she doesn't have to deal with taxes and the owner seems either drunk or hung over all the time. Don't take your kids there either because your child will be sick all the time. The owner let's her coworkers children stay at the daycare even if there sick with hand foot and mouth virus and cause an epidemic because she doesn't have enough employees to cover anyone's absence. And if you enjoy having a bunch of immature 16 year old girls watch your kids that's your place to go. This place needs new employees new owner and a big change in what they should stand for. Because there goal should be about there kids and keeping good relationships with the parts since there paying them money to work a job that's easy and not very demanding.
My Children have been at Kare Bears for almost 2 years now. I was very hesitate about enrolling my children due to my fear of daycares. I am so glad that I did. When my kids first started they were so sad to leave me they would cry. Everyone there has always made my family comfortable. They worked with my children and now my kids run through the door. I have developed relationships with EVERYONE there. It is so nice to know that my children are safe and well taken care of when in daycare. Not to mention everything that they have learned while being there.
