It’s very unfortunate that I’m having to write this review. My child has been going to Sugar and Spice for the last 4 months. I don’t have any problems with the teachers. However, my concern lies with Mrs. Zee, the Co-owner/Director. I have a couple of major issues. She seems friendly enough at first, but as time goes on you begin to notice passive aggressive undertones in her communication. So much so, that the parents are made to feel as though they’re doing an inadequate job parenting their kid. She tends to compare children all the time, and offers unsolicited advice. For example, our son has trouble staying attentive (he’s a just-turned-4 year old boy!). He is extremely hyperactive, and definitely a little daredevil. Honestly, what pre-school boy isn’t? She tells me to get my son evaluated because he’s a lot worse than most of their kids there. She’ll say it in a way that makes it seem like she’s just being caring, but in reality, it’s very condescending. Another example – if my child has the sniffles or allergies one day, she somehow makes it into a massive ordeal as if I should get it checked out because it could be RSV which is DEADLY (and she was sure to mention the fact that it’s deadly). Very tactless and unnecessary. Literally, every mild complaint my child has is blown completely out of proportion. In my view, as childcare professionals, they should know what is and is not serious enough to call a parent to pick up their kid. We have JOBS that we cannot just up and leave at the drop of a dime. A courtesy call is one thing, but that’s not the case here. Inevitably, every time I pick up my son because of one of these ridiculous symptoms (insect bite, gas), he is always happy and totally fine once I get him home. Don’t get me wrong, obviously if he’s showing serious symptoms of course I have no problem picking him up! I wouldn’t want to keep him there if he’s contagious or feeling seriously ill. However, her ability to make appropriate judgement calls are lacking. Aside from that, good luck trying to have a reasonable adult conversation with her about your concerns. She’s ALWAYS right and will talk over you. She’s extremely rude if you actually challenge her. If you’re looking for childcare right now, look elsewhere. The lower cost is not worth the extra drama of dealing with her.
