I do not have any children enrolled at Palisades Children's Center nor will I ever. As a parent myself, I strongly suggest that if you have any children enrolled in that daycare that you reconsider! I spent most of my morning at a local park near the center. I was there about two hours. When I arrived four staff members were there with about twenty plus children. The children ages ranged from about 5 to 12 years in age. The children were running around as expected playing of course but NOT ONE EMPLOYEE GOT UP FROM THE BENCH TO PAY MIND TO ANY OF THE CHILDREN during their 90 minute stay.They sat there talking to one another the whole time or engaged with their cell phones. God forbid one of those children got hurt I myself had to tell some of the children repeatedly to be careful, or watch out for the babies, or you shouldn't do that as they used foul language or pushed around some of their peers. While the children were on recess so were the staff workers. Horrible Horrible experience. I feel sorry for the children and the parents that don't know whats going on!!!
