I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I have brought my son here for 6 years. The owner is not a liar and she is the most helpful daycare provider I have met. She helps me and other parents make payments unlike other centers. She isn’t quick to kick a problem child out like other centers have. They work with difficult kids and parents. I’m sure if there was a problem with a child not being changed properly she would have corrected whatever teacher it was. Alice is not in the rooms often from what I have seen but if I ever have an issue she is quick to solve it and so far that hasn’t been many. I admit there have been some bad employees/teachers but there are always bad apples at every job. And when I have expressed my concerns and my friends that have kids here have done the same she takes it all to heart and resolves the concerns. I came on here just looking around on my week off and couldn’t let the negative comments be the only ones. Also we were offered a 10% discount on a week of care for ANY review not just a positive one. She did not tell us to leave a positive review in the letter given to us she said any review and to be HONEST. I am truly appalled that people make up lies to go with their stories. Alice is a hard working person, she is helpful, honest, and kind.

I took my child here because it was the only option I had at the time last minute and convenient because of location. After getting my child one day after work the first time I was able to pick her up myself I left in tears, and needless to say it was the last time. I pulled her from the program only in the short two weeks she was there. I never thought I would leave my child to be uncared for and scrambling for answers as to why she wasn’t being checked regularly for diaper changes cleaned off and stolen from. From not changing diapers I never had any in my bag to never coming back with the extra clothing or jacket she went in with. The director Alice is a joke a liar and a thief. If I had known the extreme conditions the kids were actually experiencing while in this facility I would have never brought my child to this place ever. I can’t believe it’s still operating! My standards of care were not met in any form and I’m glad I saw the signs before something else happened.

We love this daycare, the staff is amazing, friendly, dedicated and professional. We feel like we can communicate well with them and our son enjoys it there. We love toothless and the ferrets! They also give us information regarding resources we can look into for our family. Previously, we were at a daycare that kept telling us our son had defiant disorder and autism. He was only one and a half years old at the time, not to mention he’s an only child. The staff here really make a huge and positive difference in our son’s life, not to mention ours. We are grateful for everything they do!

I am an employee

I have read these reviews and I'm just appalled, this is not how we treat our children! we do not serve expired food,all the teachers and owner eats the same food as the children. we have never had anyone become sick. we have a cat yes but, the children are not exposed to the litter box. we have zero children that have an allergy to the cat and have never had a child become allergic or have allergic reaction to the cat. The cat's name is toothless he goes to the vet every year, he has his shots and he gets an updated physical and the kids love him. our facility is not disgusting, we constantly clean our rooms and toys to avoid any type of sickness or spread of germs. I have worked there since they opened in 2014 the owner is always focused on a clean healthy environment and so are our teachers, there are teachers that have been there for a long time as well. the owner is a very fair person and treats the teachers with respect and consideration. she is always going above and beyond to help the parents so they don't struggle so much to pay their bill. I don't know who these two people are one claiming to be a staff member but what she stated is a lie and the anonymous person we do not keep paint in the infant room where the children can get a hold of it that's just ridiculous. we have locked cabinets with appropriate locks on them. all of the craft and paint items are in a locked cabinet in the hallway not in classrooms. Come see for yourself those reviews are inaccurate. The owner offered parents an opportunity to receive a discount to go and post a review not a forced good review and you can't force a parent or anyone to post a review that they don't want to make. lots of companies offer incentives for employees and or parents or customers there's nothing wrong with that. This Anonymous person sounds like a disgruntled that was fired they should not be leaving reviews.

I would give this facility a negative 10. I have heard nothing but horrible things about the owner. She offers parents a discount if they leave a good review. She also has paint stored in the baby room with no lock on the door. The appropriate doors are not locked and the kids can go into places that they should not go including where she keeps the cat litter box and food. Why does a Daycare facility have a cat anyway, there are kids who are allergic to cats that is a safety hazard. I would report them to the BBB but they is not registered with them but yet has a sticker on their door. Please do not take your kids there!!!!! Rude, disgusting and needs to be shut down.

Let’s pretend learning center is by far one of the sketchiest most awful daycare facility’s I have ever seen. The owner is extremely rude and intolerable and creates a very tense asmosphere. I have been to countless daycares and am shocked this hole in the wall is still open. If you are thinking about sending your child here I would greatly reconsider.

This place is disgusting & dirty. I was en employee for 4 years! I quit because I wasn't being paid enough for what I was being forced to do. And I most definitely wasn't okay with what they were doing & feeding those children. They do not follow state guidelines & regulations until state walks in the door & at that moment all employees follow the rules. Between teachers being left out of ration & children being forced to eat expired food, get slammed into timeout chairs & screamed at 8 hours of the day. I suggest not taking your child here.
