I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Don't Trust Them! NOT A SAFE PLACE FOR CHILDREN!!!!
My child not only was touched inappropriately but she was almost forced to touch another child before she was able to get away. The teachers knew of this incident, failed to report it to myself the parent, other parents of children involved not the director. The teachers also tried to bribe my child into quieting down due to her being upset by the Tramatic experience. Instead of the teachers notifying me immediately they forced my child to stay at school, hurt emotionally and physically by the abuse that was not prevented or reported by the ones I trusted to care for my child. Instead my child was left to feel scared and upset for hours until I got there. I was told hours later after my child was calmed down enough to tell me what was upsetting her so badly.
DCF was called, the Director was notified and still I have been given NO reports on why this could of happened and why the two teachers failed to report this. It takes some very sick individuals to not report such an incident that clearly effected my child.
Do Not Trust These Monsters With Your Children!

Disappointed Jun 05, 2012

My children were there for a short time.  I did not find that The Lily Pad was all that they promised to be.  Most staff was very nice.  More expensive than a home daycare, but no difference in quality of teaching/learning.  If you live in the area and are looking for exceptional child care for pre-school aged children, try Websterville Baptist which has a real educational program.
