I have used this provider for more than 6 months

KIDZ ink 3 is the worst place to send your child. At first you are persuaded by the fancy pony and a show that they do to get you to enroll but afterwards it’s all down Hill. They change teachers so much that it provides no stability for the kids, and the teachers that left are the good ones who get no credit. The children get fed the bare minimum meal and my bird eats more than what’s being served. Teachers are too busy gossiping to actually watch your baby, and that’s where the unexplained bruises come in....Meanwhile, the bottom of the barrel child neglecters who can’t seem to get hired anywhere else are left to “care” for your child. Unexplained, bruises, teachers bullying children because they’re too small to fend for them self. Then when or IF YOUR child tells you the horror stories the teachers and head supervisors conspire to Deny every allegation to avoid taking any responsibility. The advisors claim that there is an open door policy but there isn’t. As soon as you attempt to address any problems that would render you uncomfortable as a parent they blame your child and Instantly write up reports against said child to save their own tails. This place does NOT HAVE THE BEST INTEREST FOR YOUR BABY AND ONLY CARE ABOUT THE MONEY.

My child was allowed by this school to be molested by another child due to neglect of the teachers and when brought to the attention of both superviseirs, my son was a target for them to mentally abuse, bully then expell to cover up their hanous and unprofessional practice.

Owner response : This review is false and flat out slander. Unfortunately, this was posted by a disgruntled parent who's child had been suspended by Kidz Ink on several occasions for his behavior and ultimately we had to make the tough decisions to terminated enrollment. Fifty Percent of our staff are Director qualified and exceed state requirements. We use and implement a Nationally Awarded Curriculum and every child that graduates from our program meets and exceeds testing into Kindergarten. It's truly unfortunate that this parent continues down this path even after receiving Cease and Desist letters. Our 21 Years of educating and caring for hundreds of Delaware children in a safe environment speaks for itself. We wish her and her son well. Aretha Kitson Chief Administrator [email protected]

They only care about the money, not your children. The owners are insensitive and only care about tuition.
