Honestly this entire daycare needs shut down
My daughter attended this daycare for a little over a month and from day one there was confusion and miscommunication! The daycare is advertised as opening at 6:15 am, it doesn't, she opens after 6:30 am. My daughter is only 18 months old and was aggressively handled and mistreated poorly by the owner Mrs. Sept. The daycare is equipped with cameras that allow you to hear the audio and record as well. I observed and recorded Mrs. Sept roughly sitting my child back down on the floor as she was waiting to be picked up by my son. She snatched her up and turned her back around as she fussed at her about keeping her shoes on. A few minutes later my daughter takes her mask off, please keep in mind that she is only 18 months old, and Mrs. Sept walks up behind her and aggressively puts her mask back on while yelling at her saying, "Keep your mask on, this is germs!!" She handled her so aggressively that my daughter fell back into her legs because she was standing behind her and my baby braced herself with her hands to try to catch herself! Keep in mind I have been monitoring for about 10 minutes now and her daughter, which is about 7 yrs old or older is sitting a few feet from all the children with NO MASK on, again, this is all on video! Minutes later before my son arrives, Mrs. Sept is seen grabbing my daughter by one arm and taking ONE diaper from her bag as she takes her to the bathroom and proceeds to change my baby on THE FLOOR in the bathroom! She didn't wipe her or anything! ALL OF THIS IS VISIBLE ON THE CAMERA!! My husband and I went to the daycare the next morning, due to our work schedules and spoke to her about what I witnessed, she denied everything until I showed her the video footage and then she only apologized indirectly for parts of what she did! I told her I felt like she was frustrated and in a rush to leave and that she should be mindful of how she handles people children. I tried to be understanding with her after we talked more and decided to give her another chance as she seemed sincere in her apology later. I regret doing so because later that afternoon when I was on my way to pick my daughter up I turned on the cameras only to witness my daughter being assaulted by a boy that was 4xs her size, he had to be at least 6 or 7 if not older. The staff member whose name is Jada Fowler, walks outside and leaves the children unattended, closing the door behind her while she is outside talking to a parent at her car! While she is outside this little boy is slapping and punching my baby in her stomach and chest area, he hit her about 15 times before I arrived and the staff member never would have knew if I hadn't have witnessed it myself! To add insult to injury when I got there in a full blown panic I was met by Jada Fowler who was NEVER concerned about my child's safety but was ready to argue and fight with me about me running in the daycare to save my baby from being hurt! Jada Fowler continued to provoke me as I was already upset about what I had just saw happen to my daughter, she is very immature and unprofessional and the owner was very aware what was happening because Jada Fowler called her on the phone while it all was taking place! I ADVISE ANY PARENT WHO LEAVES THEIR CHILD/CHILDREN IN THE CARE OF THIS DAYCARE TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE CHECKING IN ON YOUR CHILDREN THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND MAKE SURE YOU TURN ON THE MICROPHONES!! The police has also been called to the daycare, per statement given to me by Jada Fowler herself, on a separate incident concerning her and her child's father. This daycare is also rated a 1 star by the STATE OF LOUISIANA'S EDUCATION DEPARTMENT...So don't be fooled by the 5 star reviews that you see on GOOGLE!!
I don’t feel like any child is safe at the facility after seeing how a one year old was left unattended, and while being left unattended she was brutally assaulted by an older child. This was irresponsible on the staffs part and how it was handled was more than unprofessional.
There needs to be a rating of “0”. Please watch the viral video on Facebook and Baton Rouge WAFB 9
News about this daycare! I urge you to STOP now and DO NOT SEND YOUR PRECIOUS CHILD/REN to this facility. I hope you take heed to the voice of a loving mother’s reaction after witnessing her 18month old daughter being left unattended, only to be punched over 14 times by a much older child. If you have any information, please report it. (Read message below)
We will not stop, until this daycare closes forever!
