I have used this provider for less than 6 months

My 3 year old son came home with scratches, and bruises with no incident report. My son is in the 3-4 year old room and for some reason they put 10 and 11 year olds in this room too. The girl that was put in my sons room would always act like she is in charge. Telling the kids what to do, what to play with, who to play with, and obviously putting her hands on my son and I'm sure others. When I confronted Vicky, the owner, I asked her to stop putting older kids in my sons room or I would have to pull both of my kids out. Instead of looking into the fact that this older child was putting hands on younger kids, she said that today would be their last day! This happened on different occasions but I gave them the benefit of the doubt until i got fed up. My niece and nephew also go here and they have had the same issue. Please be careful just because theres not incident report or the staff supposivitely didnt see it, doesnt mean its not happening. Honestly find a better daycare that worries about the safety of each child and doesnt turn their head when concern parents comes for answers.

We love it here! It is warm and inviting the staff is phenomenal. They go out of they're way to make sure the kids are happy. My kids come home excited telling me about they're day on the new song they learned or the science experiment they did.Their day is filled with learning. There are many days that they're not ready to leave when I come to pick them up! I know when I drop my kids off that they are safe

If you love your babies, do NOT send them here. They abused my 2 month old baby. They think that getting their employees post 5 star reviews and report 1 star reviews will silence the community from finding out about the fact that they abuse children in this facility? You can't stop the truth from coming out. You let me child set in his own vomit for HOURS. You bloodied his ear. You dug your nails into the back of his head until you drew blood. You inured his genitials and left blood in the diaper where the wound bled. You left feces on his bottom from not wiping him well (or hardly at all). The owner APOLOGIZED to us and begged for a second chance. DO NOT send your kids here. They do not have cameras. According to a facebook post job advert I found after some investigating, their staff DOES NOT have to be CPR certified. RUN FROM THIS PLACE. Their "open floor plan" does not stop abuse from happening. The staff of "mandated reporters" will not protect your child. Please do not send your babies here!!!

This place should be SHUT DOWN. My good friend took her 2 month old son who was abused. When she picked him up he had marks on him, left over poop in his diaper, bloody genitals, a bloody ear, and a scratch on his head. These were not self inflicted. You should not trust your child there. Run away, very far away. They didn't even offer her money back. The kid attended 1 day. Unforgivable.

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

This place should be closed IMMEDIATELY! The people working with infants should be put in jail and have their abilities to work with children removed FOREVER! My nephew was in their care for 1 day and came home with soiled clothing, old/dried poop on his bottom, blood in his diaper from an injury to his genitals, a bloody ear, and a scratch on the back of his head! A medical professional stated the injuries were NOT SELF INFLICTED, and he came to this establishment free of any injuries! Shame on these people for allowing and trying to make excuses for this type of care! If you love your children, you won’t send them here! I am beyond disgusted at the fact my 2 month old nephew had to endure this type of treatment after 1 day in the care of these monsters! A note to the owner, I hope your facility is closed for good, and to the person who hurt my nephew, I hope karma hits you square in the face!!

My daughter started out in the baby room, moved through the toddler 1&2 rooms as is now in preschool. I can't say enough good things about Kidsprout. The teachers and owners are great. She has learned so much from attending. I highly recommend kidsprout as a mother.
