Mrs Jocelyn is not a good care provider to be blunt about it. She has a nasty attitude and will lie about your child’s behavior just so you can pick them up and she will go as far as claim something is wrong with your child. It hit the fan when she placed my child on a probational period to acclimate to her sleep schedule (12/12:30 until 2:45). She stated not only would my child not eat his lunch before nap time but would wake up at 1:30 everyday. I’ve never witnessed this behavior as well as his new daycare thinks it’s odd that he sleeps from 12 almost to 3 since starting 2 days ago. Please don’t waste your time with this lady that’s clearly too old to take care of children of multiple age groups. She is a liar that will try to gaslight you until you request to make record of her statements regarding the child. I also believe something is not right with how she will place all of the kids in isolated pins and actually tell you its because the kids were too much and getting on her nerves.
