Ms. DeeDee is the only positive thing keeping this daycare in good standing in my eyes. My daughter was here all of 4 months and she went thru multiple teachers within that timeframe (from teachers quitting to getting fired). My baby caught hand foot mouth almost immediately. When she was able to return, I provided them with a doctors note to return but was still turned around from Ms. Venus who wasn't even physically there to see my child. All because my child also has eczema and they couldn't tell the difference. DESPITE a doctors note clearing her. The new director at the moment (Ms. Bailey) was unsure of the decision to make which in my eyes is a loss of confidence in their system as a whole. Something that also rubbed me wrong was a comment Ms. Venus mentioned when my child wasn't quite fully able to hold her bottle at the time, she mentioned "oh they normally know that around 4-5 months...it depends on what the parents are doing". As a director of a daycare you should be more cognizant that every child's journey is different and you never downplay a parents abilities (there's a professional way to approach that). I also ran into issues with them giving my daughter the wrong bottles. I label EVERYTHING, yet they still managed to mix up my daughters items. Even having my daughter drink out of a cup that wasn't hers because a teacher in the classroom put her OWN label with my daughters name on it. Also, having my daughter lay on sheets that weren't hers. I understand things happen but that should NEVER be happening! Especially if I'm doing my part and providing all of that and labeling everything. Had that been the other way around with a parent failing to do so, we'd be held accountable as well. To finally validate things for me was when I put in my notice that my daughter won't be returning. I'm military and received a subsidy back pay lump sum that was applied to my account. At the time of me notifying them, I had over $1K left in my account. After having a discussion with Ms. Venus over the phone and via email, she tries to tell me I'm due back $42 out of that. She was out of her mind even thinking that was ok. After I brought to her all of my documentation and discussed things with her further, she agreed that I was owed back what I initially KNEW I was owed. Her comment was "they're losing out on money". Unbelievable that as a business you'll unethically take money from paying parents because "you're losing money". Needless to say, be careful when dealing with them. Not worth it in my eyes. They need a better system and more genuine people working in that field. SN: They deleted my review on Google!
My child came home with scratches on the top area of her back and lower neck area. I wish the owner had given me an immediate solution instead of asking me what happened and who I think did it. My two year old said to me her teacher hurt her and she is scared. How else should a parent respond to that. When I questioned the teachers in her classroom and the assistant director regarding the scratches they all asked my two year old DIRECTLY what happened to her and tried to say to me it looked like eczema or a rash but no explanation on the scratches, no incident report to sign and no prior notification prior to pick up about these scratches. She had the same scratches in the same area last week that healed. I definitely expected not to see anymore! I HAVE NEVER SEEN MY DAUGHTER SCRATCH THE BACK OF HER OWN LOWER NECK TOP BACK AREA. I took my daughter to urgent care immediately where they only confirmed she had fingernail scratches that were fresh. My daughter nails are clipped. I don’t see why my child would lie. Owner offered me a “slow transition” to moving my child up to the 3s saying as ratio permits BUT there are two teachers in the 3s room and my child turns 3 on the 27th of this month and has been fully potty trained for about 6 months now. The owner could have had my daughter moved immediately. She could have apologized for whatever inconvenience not having prior notice caused me and assured me it would never happen again. Instead of taking my child through a “slow transition” I am regrettably looking for other childcare centers to take her to at this instant. I was an employee at this center for 10 months. The women were catty and mean girls. I kept getting complaints from my colleagues to the owner behind my back that didn’t even work in my classroom with me about my delivery towards the twos. I would sometimes have over 8 of them and the ratio is 8 and was told to just deal with it until someone would come in to help but nobody wanted to work with me because I really would be working. Not sitting on my phone chilling. The way I talked stern when necessary especially in potty training they claimed letting the twos know to pee in the potty and not in their undies or pull ups was “shaming” them. Another complaint was that I didn’t engage/hug/hold with the kids even though we would play indoors and outdoors together all day everyday. My women colleagues were always watching and listening me. I would clean the little toilets in the twos room every morning to ensure cleanliness cause potty training can get messy, stayed on top of the given curriculum - pulled my lessons weekly. Always on time and reliable. The women would just watch me and gossip and do things like come back late from breaks leaving the kids napping longer than the 2 hours like they were supposed to. I was wrong for complaining about that to the owner since I was being monitored. The women were more focused on my sternness to regain structure in the twos room after they did not have a consistent teacher(s) for MONTHS prior to my employment. The owner is never there and the center is basically being ran by the workers, an assistant director with a stand offish demeanor and catty attitude. I revamped the learning process aka circle time when I got on board. I rearranged, cleaned and organized the class and it’s closets. I was very passionate about my job and I’ll never forget the kids. Despite my delivery being distasteful in my colleagues eyes it was applauded by all parents. I was very open with the parents about all my methods when interacting with their child specifically. 4 months before each child turned 3 I had the parent and child prepped with a date to transition into underwear to really enforce the potty training. It was a great result for most of the children. I was accused of telling parents too much of the center’s “business”, being too friendly with parents and just ultimately talking too much being rejected by all my efforts with my colleagues in a bandwagon effect then the owner. I had a daily report for all parents at pick up. I handled behavior, autistic spectrum and deemed “normal” children all in one setting. I met every child at their level socially and academically. Supervision could improve now, there’s too much sitting on the job, and hardly any logging in Procare app like lunches .. did the child eat some/ most or all the lunch? Did they go outside? What type of indoor play is going on in the classroom? Cleanliness is less than bare minimum since I left in May. You can see the windows and mirrors in the class don’t get wiped clean. I was being threatened to be reported to licensing so I found a way out of there but couldn’t immediately remove my child plus the expectations they had for me I expected my child to be okay. Kids barely get potty training now and they aren’t using any type of curriculum for circle time or learning instruction which is included in the tuition. I now pay a over market rate just like other parents are paying but I am not getting good service. I just hate to have to start my two almost three year old over at a new center after I dedicated 10 months of teacher services and my compassion in the same twos classroom. I prided myself in no incidents daily with all 16 of my students. My daughter gets hurt though and I get asked who I think did it and what happened. Ridiculous customer service.
