This is a ministry daycare and not licensed. The children get very ill here. I didn't know it had been cited for universal precautions. How disgusting. I don't see toys being cleaned. I have seen a provider with her finger so far up her nose that she was embarassed when I saw her. What I found horrid was when she took my child from me and gave him a cinnamon roll on a plate then attended to another child. No handwashing! I heard many of those children in aftercare are bullies and management will pick on a parent if a complaint is made. Seems Pine Nuts.
The center relies on parents to determine if student is well enough to attend school/daycare. Kids were dropped off vomiting, fevers and with diarrhea throughout the day. Center did not call for parents to pick up sick child from this center allowing many other children and staff members to get sick. CDC needs to be notified about allowing sick children to attend. This daycare is also used for after school care for elementary students. This allows the spread of illness to these students and through out their public school facilities. Too many students crammed into one location during nap which seemed to be against fire codes or above capacity.
