Sunny Days Childrens Academy

Just say if I could give 0 I would. My son went to this daycare for almost 2 years. The first babysitter ( I made reference to baby sitter because that is what they do and they not good at that either) wanted to dictate what I feed my child, so I threaten and searched for a different school however this was more convenient. His second teacher( I will reference her teacher because she is the best at that school) I had no issue. I got updates daily on the progress of my son. When I was registering my son I asked specific questions such as: Will I get daily or weekly updates on my son. I was told yes and that was a lie the only person who did it was Ms Julie, she took pride in her work.Off topic a bit. There was 1 teacher she always looked miserable,overwhelmed and seem like she was not able to manage the kids. One day I saw her and she looked a mess so I ask her if she wasn't feeling well today. She got defensive with an attitude, I am feeling great! Hello if you were you wouldnt be so defensive. Back to my experience..... My son excelled with Ms Julie she did phenomenal!I liked her and asked that they kept my son in her class. They told me they would think about it, however they came back and told me they had to move him.Honestly I was not happy, the director had me meet with the teacher and I explained exactly what I wanted. One day I went to pick up my son and it was such an unorganized mess in the class room. Some kids were coming the teachers hair, others were doing whatever they wanted and it was chaos. This would not have been Julie's classroom. If Miss Julie is staying late with the kids in the pick up room, she always had the kids doing some creative stuff or she is reading to them.The other teachers don't even care they pick a kid they like and play with that kid only or chit chat with each other. I am a very observant person and in the beginning when I use to drop my son off in the mornings I use to see an african american kid sitting by himself while the others play with the teachers and I asked about it twice and no one answered. Well that african American child became my son. I went to pick up my son one particular day and his hair had sand in it. It looked as if someone took the whole box of sand and threw it in his hair. I ask about and they told me non chalant that a child did it. What made me upset is the way they made it seem, my son is african american and he has braids. It is very difficult to get the sand out his hair, I was also concern that the babysitters were not keeping an eye on the kids. What if it was a stick the kid had used to poke my child in his eye? Another day I was late dropping off my son, the teacher had more than 12 kids in the room and she was on her phone, she didn't even see me standing at the door for 5 mins. It is so much bull***t I am going to tell you what broke the elephant back.I had a meeting with the owner and she told me that I should have my son wear a hat, so that the kid who threw sand in his hair wouldn't get sand in his hair again. I also overheard 2 of the teachers gossiping about me and my child and another one gossiping with a parent. The same parent she was gossiping with reprimanded a child that wasnt her child and the teacher did nothing. It came to a point where my child was coming home telling me stuff about someone spitting on him and I told the director and before even talking to the teacher/babysitter she said nothing like that happen. My son came home reprimanding me and grabbing on my face, I ask him where he learned it and he said school mommy. He was not able to say who it was or what actually happened. Well he no longer go there but I am going to make sure it doesnt happen to any other child.

My son has been attending this center for a while now and I have nothing but great things to say. Compared to his previous center they actually have a curriculum and it's obvious they use it. He is only two and has already learned all of his letters, colors, and some shapes. I couldn't be more impressed with the service I receive. The teachers are extremely nice and I am always greeted with a smile. They also provide meals for the children. They also offer music to The children a few times a week which my song loves!! The teachers also have been awesome helping me stay on top of potty training which is a work out. But this place is great and I would highly recommend it! The director Alex is the best!
