They mess They be smoking amount of kids talking about having sex around the kids make a tweak videos on TikTok work be messing around with other work on job
I do not know of this daycare but I do know that today they gave gas to their community.It is so nice to hear something good and good people doing good things. Thank you for doing this for others who need a helping hand.
I wouldn't recommend this place. She hires her workers under the table , and let's them put kids in the daycare just to get paid. There's a girl there that tells infants 4 to 6 months to be quiet. They are very unprofessional and unorganized with keeping up with kids belongings. They don't put names on anything. One of their staff threatened to pinch one of the kids and they walk away from the kids all the time. I was working there while my baby was in the infant room. I'm not making this up , but if you have a infant your child will barely get changed and they are very impatient. They don't clean as much as they should. They also show favoritism cause it's a family business and everybody know everybody. They don't even rinse the infants things off when they fall or label their bottles and things so they want get mixed up. Kids kiss other kids and they all our toys in their mouth that's never cleaned or bleached everyday . I wouldn't recommend this daycare at all to anyone or their kids. I helped the kids learn how to cover their mouths and wear masks while I was there . But yes all the staff yells at people kids and threaten to pinch them. Please don't put your kids in this daycare , then when you come get your kids their nose will never be cleaned or their pampers might not be changed. If your child has autism, be careful because they are very rude!
