Taking your child to a Daycare you Exspect for them to be Taken care of which was never the situation Here Very unprofessional,Dirty,My Child had at least 3 Teachers in the short Time she was there and it was just to unorganized So I had to Pull my Child Out after she was Hit in her Head by a Teacher, DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILD HERE.
I want a loving and Christian based environment that has excellent education and superb quality of care for my three children. I have completed my Master of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education. Observing the young teacher in the Infant and Toddler classroom I wanted to speak to the Director. She is excellent! The students were hugging her while singing and she was very hands on with them. She was engaging them on the floor and when a student brought her a book he sat on the carpet ready clapping. I had visited a childcare center with 5 stars and a tremendous reputation, the teacher yelled and told the kid to put the book down. That is a deprivation and education and should never happen! She impressed me so much when I left, I introduced myself and offered to help her complete her education degree. The teacher whom I hope doesn't mind me naming her publicly is Alex and the children call her Ms. Alex. She only left out for less than a 5 minute conversation with me and a student had a tantrum crying behind her so se locked two gates. The care and education out of the 6 licensed child development centers in Richland County that I popped into to get the true experience live un-filtered and not the "tour" is top! I hope I can get my 4 month old, two year old and four year old enrolled immediately. Even if I can't get them all enrolled the welcoming and spiritual nexus felt was overwhelmingly heart warming and there is not better provider. The center is as bright as it is on the inside than outside. The workers were busy and focused on the child not children but most of all Ms. Alex cut our conversation short because she said she needed to get back to "her babies". The class was huge and decorated with creative learning essentials like a huge tree with numbers and and children's work. Every space was a learning space. Beautiful! Also I have a new angel on the way and I feel she is safe with the educators and providers with staff like Ms. Alexander and the older lady in the nursery room. I can't wait to set up a tour and hopefully I can leave my children there the morning I sign the paperwork.
I am not sure the Director's name but know that she is directing her staff at Nana's Little Elephants CDC great! Superior!
