I love T & Jcenter, the owner and the staff are really understanding, professional and friendly. My child is usually happy when I come to pick her up. My car broke down the other day and I was stuck in the storm,I was so late to pick up my child,they watched my baby until she was picked up and that I'm grateful for.

I am so happy that my child was taken out of this daycare. Ms. Haynes does not like for parents to ask questions and when they do she will get loud and become combative. Ms. Chocolate is the only one in this facility that is competent enough to listen and then respond with reasoning. I really did appreciate Ms. Chocolate. Ms. Chocolate is genuinely sincere and passionate about her kids and her job.

An incident occurred and Ms. Haynes was questioned about it would not come see what the incident was about. When she did finally come 3/4th of the way to see what happened and seen blood she then placed the blame of the incident on another facility (it was fresh bright red blood). Ms. Haynes failed to follow DCS procedure and place this in my child's file or make note of the incident, but instead decided to say that my child was no longer a good fit for her daycare. She also violated a few other DCS rules and procedures by making parents pay for vision and hearing exams before their annual through a facility that she could not give documented receipts of payments for. Yes, parents are to submit updated records annually, but not when Ms. Haynes say so. Her reasoning was so she does not get another hit in her audit by DCS.

Over the course of my child attending this facility it has been a few misunderstandings that could have easily been resolved over proper communication; instead, Ms. Haynes chose to communicate improperly; very much in poor taste. Several times I have asked that we communicate one on one in a more private setting to get a clear understanding of what each individual is expressing. Ms. Haynes has refused each time and her combativeness increased over time. At the beginning, Ms. Haynes appeared to be nice, caring, and somewhat informative, but after a month of my child attending this facility she got upset with another parent she showed her true colors. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS DAYCARE TO ANYONE. If Ms. Chocolate opens up her own daycare I would surely advertise for her; she is truly special and gifted. Ms. Chocolate is the only reason why I would rate this facility at one star otherwise it would be NO STARS.

This review is not me being petty or upset because truly I am very much happy for where my child is attending now. So in other words, thank you Ms. Haynes for behaving in such a poor manner. My child is somewhere that I know will learn and grow at as an individual that has an outstanding future. God always has a way of re-positioning you for better, and he did that.
