The director is rude. She seems stuck up sometimes. I have personally seen her (what looked to be purposefully) ignore an employee, mock an employee AND make fun of another handicapped employee that works there, like the way she walks and things she says. Such as the fact that said employee can be a little bit “extreme and peppy”. This employee is nothing but kind to others. I as a parent, know that when my child has been around her, she was well cared for, and felt love and security. I also feel that when she brings her children to the center they are allowed to run around and do as they please, especially in the mornings. As a director, she needs to be more professional. Personally, I think the education from the daycare is decent but I would never take my child there again because it seems unprofessional, like if you’re not her best friend then you won’t get treated the same and I wouldn’t want my child feeling left out if they didn’t like her or I. As a parent, it just makes you feel uncomfortable. Would not recommend.
