Absolutely love this daycare. They embraced my daughter with open arms. She is super excited every morning to play with her friends. Such wonderful trust worthy people there daughters are beautiful.
the 2 negative reviews are completely false, obviously you are bitter and have issues that you need to figure out. No need to bash an exceptional establishment. Shame on you 2 who posted these negative reviews. La'Dore daycare is loving, professional, reasonable and all around awesome. They welcomed my child with open loving arms and she has blossomed over the year that she has been there. I thank God everyday to have La'Dore daycare as my child's full time daycare, they are absolutely wonderful.
The only place where I would want my child to be! My child is a full time member of Ladore's daycare and I can only say great things of them. These conversations above are completely absurd. Nothing but warm hearted kind people at Ladore's Daycare. I would highly, highly recommend this daycare to all ages.
Ladore's Daycare is the exact opposite of the reviews listed above. In fact, I know of both instances above and it's funny how people will twist the story to make themselves look like the victim.
At Ladore's Daycare, you feel like family. Arlene runs the business with her two daughters. It's a home daycare and they treat all of their children and parents as if they're one big family.
Arlene goes as far to coordinate a summer BBQ every year, inviting all the children and their families to come together and fellowship.
When you drop your child off at daycare in the morning, you know that they will be well taken care of and showered in hugs and kisses while you're working.
I couldn't ask for better people, better daycare providers, better teachers, or better friends than the staff at LaDore's Daycare.
Greedy and unprofessional! That's all I can say for LaDore's daycare. My son started at 5 months, and being a first time mom, I had given so much trust into these people. My son went there on a part time basis. His schedule was never an issue and Arlene always reassured my husband and I that a couple of hours a day fit their schedule just fine.
After an entire year and out of the blue, they wanted to drop us because apparently $600 a month wasn't enough. They started to have the daughter help out TEMPORARILY so they took on more kids. Two monthers later, when the daughter stated she was leaving, they wanted to drop my son, after an entire year of having him, and it was all because of money. They are not loyal and do not care that they have become a part of our and our sons life, all they cared about was making more money. This is not a 'family' daycare facility, it's a factory. One kid out, another in.
Now here comes the completely unprofessional part... Instead of calling my husband and I in for a meeting, Arlene allowed her daughter (of which I barely know) to tell just my husband when it was pick-up time, not even to me when I just dropped him off. After discussing it with my husband, we decided to call them and have a conversation, they didn't want to pick up the phone. All they wanted to do was text about it (this is not a conversation you want to have texting!). We asked them numerous times to call but only responded by texting. After having LaDore's daycare a part of my sons life for an entire year life, for them to just drop him without any compassion is completely disgusting and evne more in the manner that they did so.
I DO NOT recommend LaDore's daycare!
Extremely unprofessional!
Welcomed my child into their daycare and then took on another child and withdrew their original acceptance of mine (via email nonetheless.)
Seemed so professional and loving and reliable when we first met and then this occurred. Left me completely guarded knowing that is hard enough trusting someone with your own and when you finally do - this happens. As disappointed as I was that it didnt work out for my family, I am so grateful that I am not dealing with such a unprofessional and unreliable day care provider.
