My children went there until they entered Elem. school. They loved and wanted to go back to Lawson's. Mrs. Lawson is a Pastor and excellent daycare provider. There will never be anyone that can or will give your child better care. When you read a review.....know the reason for a bad review, when there is no cause other than a mad parent that has a problem of their own making. Mrs Lawson has always been an advocate for all children.
Today my husband walked into the toddler's room to drop off our baby girl without Mrs. Patt realizing he was in there. He watched her as she grabbed a little toddler boy by the arm and screamed at him "boy, how many times i gotta tell you not to do that?"... my husband went right back to pick up my daughter after he called to tell me what happenned. He told the director, Mrs. Lawson what he saw and she said she would look at the camera to see it. They have been avoiding mine and my husband's calls since then. That little toddler's parents have the right to know and I am going to keep trying to contact the director until she answers. We took my baby girl out of there for good. This was her first week there and I'm thankful my husband caught that.
