I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I enjoyed taking my son to Mrs Hazels. She treated him like family. I saw this post from this woman about the daycare. My son was the child standing behind her grandchild that day Mrs Underwood spanked her 2 times. My son cried for a week. This is nothing more than a bitter woman cause she got turned in to DSS for hitting her granddaughter. Please don't believe anything from this woman. She should be shame hersrlf for scaring them children like she did that day. God is good. Im thankful I was not there that day. Cause if I had seen her hit poor child I would had called the cops. My son still asks about the little girl. Remember people will destroy others with lies. But they can destroy them back with the truth.

My granddaughter was placed here by her other grandparents. I was there to pick her up numerous times. From my observations this facility needs to be shut down. No employees to speak of to work or supervise the children and the owner does not provide a positive learning environment. As far as learning goes I only heard a song or two that my granddaughter was taught. I am amazed that the state would allow this! Certainly the name Kiddie Kollege is a False representation of a really BAD daycare. I would NOT recommend any child be placed here!
