I have used this provider for less than 6 months

I had my child at Amy’s daycare. I have walked in many times where there has been shear chaos… i came unexpectedly out of my normal time. There was a child in the bathroom crying because ms Amy would not wipe him,,, she said he could do it himself or he couldnt play w the the toys till m he did so…..my child has come home dirty and has told me Ms Amy is mean and makes her sit at the table till all her vegetables have been eaten.. or she can stand in the corner…. She turns on the Amy charm when parents do arrive i pulled my child out and will never look back.

Amy is abusive both verbally and psychologically to the children in her care. She berates and humiliates children for crying for their mothers. Putting them in cribs alone for hours to cry. She makes fun of children potty training who have accidents, asking all the other children in her care if they want to smell that child. Do not leave your kid with her

Amy and team have care for my son and daughter for the last year. They were amazing to my children and they both learned so much under Amy's care. The only reason we are leaving is because we are moving.

I had my child enrolled and I had to find out for myself that a person of family that had multiple arrests was watching my son. The owner was RUDE and 1 step away from being a Red Neck run down daycare. I hate to be this way

Do you want someone that raised children to throw fire bombs responsible for your child?

This owner should have raised Bears instead of children. I wouldn't let any of my children be taken care of by Mrs. Shader. Good job raising your daughters.
