I have used this provider for more than 6 months

 

 My child was attending  this daycare for about 3 1/2 years. Throughout those 3 1/2 years my child continue to attend there only because of their time it was convenient for us.  However in those 3 1/2 years there were many incidents with my child and with other children the employees tend to become very ghetto with the children and with the parents. The last incident happened 2017 in November and that’s what drew the line and I had to withdraw my son from attending Nana’s Day Care.   Lisa who is one of the teachers there,  she’s more administrative tho.  She took my son into the bathroom and slam my child very aggressively multiple times against a changing table. my son explained to me in tears and in fear to please not send him back, he much rather watch him self than to go back there. When she took him To the bathroom she use many profanity words to yell at him.  The next day when I arrived at the daycare to ask for an explanation because an incident report was never even made the owner decided to give me attitude and to tell me that it was justified because my child was being a child. Find any other daycare but do not send your child in to that day care unless you want to child to be hurt
