Teacher Feb 29, 2024

Worked here for less than a couple months. They did not listen to licensing rules, other teachers were rude, there was NO structure what so ever...
After my first couple weeks I started keeping a list of things that were NOT ok on my phone (putting babies to sleep on tummy/with blankets in cribs, no sanitizing, constant yelling, leaving me out of ratio with to many children/leaving me alone when at the time I was not a lead and should not have been left alone at all with the kids legally...
A licenser came for a visit and I pull her away to let her know what was going on. She came back for a "surprise" visit the next day and they got in trouble for multiple things not having the time to prep for a visit.

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

I would not recommend this care provider to no one they do not treat the children well and they do not keep a good eye on the children. If you want your children well cared for and not have to worry about something bad happening to them look somewhere else for you will not get good care here.
