I have used this provider for more than 6 months

All I can say about this daycare, is they opened their doors to me and first born as if we were family. My first born is 9 yrs old and yes she’s a big kid but the staff has always welcomed us, and of course with my 2nd child he’s well loved. We return every summer and throughout the school year, the wonderful staff has helped to pick up my 2 kids from school. My husband and I do not have family to help and I can honestly say the women at this daycare became my family for the past almost 10 years. I definitely recommend this daycare for all. With love always!

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

Ok, so when my daughter first started there she would come home and eat double the amount she usually eats, every hour instead of every 4 hours and not sleep AT ALL! They insisted my daughter wasn't hungry. I went to pick her up early one day and saw Maria feeding her with someone else's bottle! and using someone elses bib!!!! She claims someone else framed her to fail.

I asked them to use a feeding chart and a diaper change chart - Maria always blamed someone else for it not being completed.

They do not do activities with the children, not even belly time for 5 minutes. Maria picks the children up by one arm, leaves the children unattended to take a kid to the school bus every morning at 7:45a. I have sat in my car outside and witnessed this with my own eyes.

My daughter caught virus after virus within a 7 week span. The newest staff member sent by the welfare office is a complete basket case and we almost got into a fight for leaving my 6 month old baby on the changing table alone.

Other children's belongings were constantly being packed into my daughters diaper bag.

No one accepts responsibility for their mistakes nor do they correct their mistakes.

Protect your kids and do not send them to this garbage day care.
