I have used this provider for more than 6 months

This daycare is by far the worst daycare!!! So today after I spoke with Nadine about how she keeps my child in a chair secluded away from the other kids while she has them in a circle reading to them I get a phone call my child’s care has been terminated. I spoke with Nadine and she was very rude passive aggressive and should not be held accountable for anyone’s child!! She basically told me she could not care for my child because he climbs to much and likes to throw toys... keep in mind he is 1 years old!!! Now this is not the first time we have had words about how my child is treated and to say the least I’m not one to hold my tongue especially when my child is involved and my funds that I work hard for every day. Chris is a devil in disguise also!! the way she speaks to her employees are very distasteful, her tone to to harsh to be around anyone’s child and she does not have the child’s best interests at heart; they are only concerned about funds. I will be reporting this daycare to the bbb; child care resources and to whom ever else to ensure that this pitiful excuse for a child care facility is stripped of their services. This daycare showed me that didn’t care anything about My son when he got sick and was out for almost 2 weeks. He was hospitalized with lesions on his brain and do you think the daycare called to check on him... Nope... Lord knows I tried to stick it out, even after Chris called and told me my child WOULD BE DEAD... Yes u read it correctly, that lady said my child WOULD BE DEAD, if it was left up time answering my phone. Mind u my office is a dead zone for signals so I gave them my mom’s number also, but because I didn’t answer when she called my phn the first Tm my child would have been dead...(she is crazy I tell u)but the Lord; yes God, he had something better fit for my child. Within the same hour of this selfish daycare terminiating my child a God sent daycare called and said they had 1 spot for him!!! So believe me when I say, this daycare is not one to send your child too, yes the teachers are very polite after u get to know them but there are way better places in Charlotte Nc to send your child too!!! I only give them one star bc I had to, God doesn’t like ugly and for my mother to pick my child up and she feel as though his entire demeanor was off, he didn’t smile and seemed as though he was scared to even move out of a chair he was placed in for only God knows how long is unacceptable!!!
