Leap ahead learning center is the worst place to put your child cause these people are nothing but thieves listen i am telling you there’s always a balance fee no matter hoe many times you’ve paid that balance is still there.
If you are considering this daycare please read my email to the president which i have yet to hear a response
Good afternoon,
I am sending this email to inform you my will no longer be attending your facility Leap Ahead. I wanted to go into detail as to why. I enrolled my son in February and now it is only August. So in a short 6 months my 1 year old has gotten pink eye at least 5 times. I had him admitted in the emergency room at least 9 times. In 6 months my son has gotten numerous viruses. During the month of July my son had caught a virus so bad he wasn't able to hold any food down and had constant diarrhea for 10 days. During that time my 1 year old lost 5 pounds. Do you realize how severe 5 pounds is for a 1 year old? So severe i had to have my son have a check up every 2 weeks to ensure he was gaining weight. Which was hard because he keep getting sick from your daycare every 2 weeks. After he was well he return to daycare and i requested a to have a meeting with you via class dojo. I have yet to hear a reply. Your staff had ignored a few of my simple request like issues with the online payment and sending me photos of my son so i can see his simile. I am starting a photo of the screen shot I also know that dojo was indeed working and your staff was blantly ignoring me. Your staff has also ignored my request in person because i had asked the girl in the morning who sits in the front that i wanted to have a meeting with you. And for the past 2 weeks i had asked to fix the check in and out since the machine kept giving me a message. That is still not fixed. When i first enrolled my son he would always be extremely hungry like he didn't eat. So i would pick him up i would always ask how he did that day, how he ate, and how he napped. I was never able to get an answer because no one would know. That is until you hired a new teacher for my son's class. She keeps notes and is honest. She would tell me if he didn't eat so well and when he did. So I wanted to speak to you about the hygiene practices in your facility because during the last few months i have been keeping a very close eye. I noticed that a lot of the children constantly have watery eyes, dark circles under their eyes, wet and dry boogies on their faces, constant coughing and sneezing. I also observed that staff would constantly come in with flu like symptoms and interact with the kids. I noticed that the lids to garbage containers are sometimes open and in reach of the children. I have seen kids drinking out of containers that are not theirs and the staff would see it and not wash it out. I have seen kids put toys in their mouths and the item not be washed out. I have seen staff spray aerosol spray in front of the kids. Most days when i would drop off my son the room would smell like dirty mop water. All of the toys provided for the kids to play with look like they have never been washed and are very dingy and/or have a build up of dirt. I also find it unsettling that the only time the room was somehow redone is when you were getting a renewal for an accreditation. However the only difference i seen is more labels were added to the room. All of those factors contributed to the countless times my son got sick . I also wanted to mention some of the information i found searching through public records on leap ahead. The complaint filed by a father and failed inspection on your facility. I have taken numerous days off work without pay due to my son being sick that was caused by your unsanitary facility. All the while i paid the tuition in full. You also raised your prices without fair warning and blamed it on your new accreditation. Let me tell you that your accreditation doesn't mean anything to me when you can't even provide the bare minimum of hygiene practices to keep kids from getting sick. This is why i am removing my son from leap ahead. I would rather pay higher prices at a more reputable facility then to keep my son another day.
If you would like to discuss this in even further detail or even to apologize please call me
LEAP AHEAD IS THE WORST DAY CARE!!!!! they do not even deserve 1 star, I would not recommend this place to any parent that cares about their kids, the owners & the staff are the rudest people I ever met in my life & only care about money not about the well being of your child! To start the place will quote you a price but once you get there they tell you the prices have increase & is that or else! the place is NOT clean at all, they have too many kids & not enough teachers and the few they have care more about texting & looking at their facebook then taking care of your kid! my child will come with bruises every day & all they will give me will be a paper! like that will make it better Once I went to pick up my kid & saw a little one walking around without any supervision, & could tell the teacher did not even know he went out! Please take this reviews very serious & research a bit more about the place you will be leaving your precious child before putting them in a place like that!
The worst part was when the Owner denied to give my kid her certificate of completion for her VPK because I took her out of the place a week before the 2 week notice was up, she did not care that this was done out of an emergency! SHE DENIED to give it to me and told me she did not have to!
