If you love your children DO NOT bring them here. This place is nothing good to talk about. For over 6 years i have heard bad things about Love N' Learn. Now it hit too close to home! A child could need stitches and the teachers still will NOT call you or tell you. Your child is the one who tells you when they got hurt at pick up time. The teachers are rude and have a lack of care for children. They are ABUSING CHILDREN. They do not watch or discipline the children as needed. Actually, in this case the lack of discipline is good as we have no idea what the teachers think discipline is. We already have a case of the teachers abusing children. I hope this child care falls to the ground. Only chance this school will ever have is if they get new owners, new management, new staff and more. AGAIN DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILD TO THIS SCHOOL. IT IS BEST FOR YOUR CHILD!! They abuse children and let the children hurt each other all day long. One adult in another state just got arrested for a children fight club. Is Love N ' Learn next? Wouldn't be surprised if the staff if placing bets on winners. Screw the birds lets watch the children fight

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

I was at first excited to find a 24 hour daycare for my son and upon my initial tour, the staff was agreeable to allow my son to go to a quiet room if he became overwhelmed as he is high functioning Autistic. After a week he became anxious in the new facility and the staff informed me they do not have the additional staff to take him separately into a room. He is required to be with the rest of the kids or I can find another daycare. A few days later, another child stabbed my son in the hand with a pencil and drew blood. After they told me they refused to do anything about it due to the other child had been there longer and obviously my child was agitated about being there, I should remove him. I informed them I would call and make a police report and the owner told me not to come back. HORRIBLE CARE!!!!!!!!!! Not to mention I was lied to when I took the initial tour.
