Live, Learn, And Laugh

Please don't send your child to this Daycare. Ms. Tyesha Maryland is hostile and unprofessional. My child would come home with a full pullup as if it had not been change all day. The lunches I packed were not eaten, yet I would arrive and see the children were eating Lil Cesar's Pizza. Why would my child want to eat the healthy lunch I packed when there is pizza being served. Doors to the Center were left unlocked, where anyone from the street could enter at anytime, while the children were in the back playing with no alarm or sound system active at the time. She has a alarm system but did not have it activated to inform her when someone was entering the building. She was very strict about arriving on time and late fees, which is not a issue, yet she put those rules on Parents that challenge her about certain practices. The children were not being taught Preschool curriculum, they sat in front of PBS kids or children movies. Nap times were not consistent, I would arrive to find the children sleeping at different times during the day. My child came home with a bruise, that I was told was a result of playing, yet I read another review and it was the same story told to me. I arrived to find her changing pullups with over 4 boys and girls in the small Bathroom. She looked me in my eye, as to question my early arrival. I am so very ashamed I keep my child in this Daycare as long a I did , 6 months my child was there I regret it. But I was undergoing medical treatments in UCSF and had no one to care for my child at the time. I took my concerns to Ms. Tyesha and was met with hostility. I approached her and apologized when I became fed up with her stoic attitude to my concerns. But it was too late. I talked with other parents but choose to not speak up like I did, but all agree she had a very bad attitude.
At first I didn't think anything was wrong with her because she came off very promising and professional. But EVERY single negative review I have been reading is something I have experienced on some level with her. I was not going to say anything because the past is done, and this happen last year but this is not anything to be silent about when it comes to children. I wish I could say she was good at something expect collecting money but that is all. She treated my child with attitude and harshly because she did not like me. Treat me how you want, if you don't like me tell me you wish me to send my child elsewhere. The last straw was when a mother and I both arrived 5mins after the cut off time. She let the other mother in but told me and my child no, I was late. The other Mother told me before I walked in she was not going to accept me, but couldn't believe anyone would be unfair like that with my child with me. Please do not be fooled she does not care about children but about money. She is not the loving Christian Mother she makes out to be, she is immature and vengeful. I am sad to say this but it is true and I say this to warn any family who might be desperate to find Daycare for their children because of the need and think to ignore the warnings like I did move on to someone else, please. These good reviews are from people who know her personally. Or basically never be late on payment nor be late on arrival or pickup or challenge anything she does with your child. Then everything will be ok. It's taken alot of time to forgive myself for not taking my child out the 1st time and trusting what she told me about my child, which wasn't true. She is a liar. Please don't send your child to Ms.Tyshea Maryland, Please Don't!
