I have used this provider for more than 6 months
I am currently looking for a new provider…..
As a parent I am really over T town constantly changing people. It is so inconstant for the kids. I can’t really trust who my kids will be around anymore and that is extremely frustrating. Not only that but they are feeding snacks on sticks and tooth picks! Like my kids are not old enough to have toothpicks ! Aren’t there guidelines on what you can and can’t give to a preschool/ kindergarten kid ? The elementary school doesn’t even hand out tooth picks but the “chef” at T town is willing to put them in a stick of cheese with a tomato on top making it look like a mushroom. What if my kid ate the toothpick because they didn’t know it was in the snack provided to them? I’m just curious would the owners be paying the medical bills for my kid to go to the ER because of what you put in your food. If not then, I highly suggest following basic guidelines of what a child should and should not have for snack time.
The reviews about this place seem to match up to well.
What Kate said is entirely true. Feeding breastfed children formula without discussing it with the parent has happened and continues to happen. The abuse towards the older children has happened. A child drug by their arm across the room. Yelled at. Plus much much worse. Sue will make up a story to where an employee or former employee can’t come forward about anything because she constantly is circulating lies and rumors about them to where she makes it seem like they are horrible people too. Can’t tell on Sue without “telling on yourself” because of the lies and drama she causes. Even if you are completely innocent. I’ve witnessed a lot, and this place is all around horrible and drama filled. Better believe she is talking bad about you if you are a parent, an employee, a child, a former employee. She doesn’t discriminate against who she is spreading rumors and drama about. Horrible place with a horrible owner. I wish I didn’t work here, but the kids are my pride and joy.

This place is a HOT MESS. The new “admin “ have NO clue what they are doing. I come in and ask where my child is at because they are always in different rooms and sometimes they don’t even know!! There is a random man that just walks through the building at different times of the day!! Does he have clearance? Why is he there? he is a boyfriend of someone who works there? All I know is that is not safe! Don’t get me started on all the new staff that has been coming in there! Some of them even look and act like they are strung out on something. Don’t send your kid there. The place will be shut down very soon anyways! The admin aren’t even educated by the looks. The staff never look happy! I come to pick up my child and I hear yelling at the kids! I was picking my child up and I saw a little girl outside of the fence one day while two very young staff were doing each others hair! There is never the same staff there when I pick up my child or drop him off. The outside and inside of the building are just nasty looking. The birds always have a huge mess. The lobby always has stuff just laying around! The fences that the children play in are falling apart! The actual owner needs to come back or at least talk to someone about how things are going. Apparently there is also unsafe drinking water! It looks to me like they are just hiring anyone on the streets for a CHILDCARE CENTER!! When Sue was there she would talk to me about my child’s day and was always there to help out! The new admin just sit in their offices and don’t even interact with the children or tell me about my child’s day! I would see staff dragging kids around because they are upset! They are children! If your child doesn’t take naps or like go they force the child to take naps. The new staff don’t even watch the kids properly, they just let them get into whatever they want and I have watched it happen right in front of me. They do have very few good staff but I’m sure they will be leaving just like the rest of the good staff over the years. It’s gonna be sad to see it close but it’s gonna happen if Sue doesn’t get someone better in to take over.
Just read the unsafe drinking water report from the state about this place and I am definitely glad I pulled my kids from t town I was done with how uncleanly it is. I was done with staff being constantly changed and I’m done with the nasty owner being so rude to children and parents that I hope she understands that’s why she’s losing staff and losing parents at this daycare. She is now hiring people who have kids (daycare age). The only reason she hired theses employees was so their kids could go to the daycare just so the owner could keep her numbers up. She’s not hiring people who are good for children. The owner is hiring people who are going to neglect your children and it’s evident with all of the children who have left this daycare within the last year including us. I am just another one who left because the owner and this new staff members are actually out of their minds. I’m here for a happy and safe environment. Not a mold filled broken down place. Officially done with t town and you all should be to.
The two reviews posted by “staff” are not from staff. They are from the owner. She is posting them to try and bring up her review.
People are posting the truth about how terrible it is here! In this case the truth is in the bad reviews sorry to say it but believe the bad post over the good because the good post are all from the owner Sue Gibbs. She is constantly trying to paint this image of how good and nice it is there but let’s be real the place is falling apart. Anyone can look up the reports that are made on the compass website they have the inspection reports. They literally show all the illegal things this daycare is doing. I suggest not reading these reviews and actually reading the states reports on this daycare. That’s only If you want to form your own thoughts and opinions. Because we all know how “convincing” the owner can be.
Im writing this due to the fact that others are saying very untrue and disgusting statements about the business. We take care of the kids as if they’re our own and make sure they have whatever they may need. The children eat breakfast and lunch along with multiple snack times throughout the day. All of our staff are clean and absolutely wash our hands multiple times in the day. I have had plenty of jobs and never felt comfortable at any of them, but the daycare makes me feel at home and the staff are more than just a team. I have been working here since February and seen the amount of positive changes. I enjoy and love my job more than anything and make sure every kid has love and care, whether they get it at home or not. We make sure each of them feel equal and comfortable. All staff and administrators are always on the lookout for kids and their safety, care, love, health, hygiene, etc. I hope that you can overlook these petty remarks of lies and give our daycare a chance. your kid is promised to feel at home, and if there’s anything you want us to make better, let us know.
The staff is like family and everyone communicates as needed. The center is cleaned multiple times a day and all toys are sanitized daily. The meals are cooked and prepared fresh in the kitchen by our chef and the children absolutely love her work. I have never felt so at home in a place of work but here, I do. My coworkers are so friendly and welcoming. I just started working here a couple months ago and have seen it change in multiple ways. The administration do whatever they can to make the childcare a better place. All classrooms are organized and sanitized everyday, making sure your kiddos have a safe and healthy place to enjoy. We have all kinds of activities and events for the kids but also the staff. Everyone takes care of each other and does what needs to be done to confirm the safety, health, care, and love for the children who enroll. Working here has gotten me very far in my life, and they help you with everything you need every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend this for any child and anyone looking to become a member of our staff!????????
It really upsets me seeing all the negative reviews that were left on here about TTown. I took my children to this daycare for years and never had any issues. They all loved it and enjoyed everyday there. Unfortunately, I had to take my kids out of daycare for a while because I stayed home and they missed being there. Now I work there and all my children go there and ALL FIVE OF THEM LOVE IT. All weekend they are asking when they can go back to school. I love my job and have never had any issues with of my coworkers or administration team. They are like a family and we all love the kids we take of. I love the children I care for as if they were my own. For people to leave such nasty, untrue remarks on here is so sad because I spend every day seeing the smiles and laughs of the children that are in the facility all day and they get to experience and learn so much... I hope if you are reading through these comments you take the time to come out and look at our center and meet the staff before you make a decision based on what is said on here. Thank you to all the TTown staff and administration for all you do for our kids!
To many issues with change of staff and the owner. facility is not really up to the standards a parent would want. A lot of there staff just left and it's sad to see good staff go. Now I'm looking for a new daycare as I am afraid of this constant change in staff. The owner is not reassuring either. I have had several friends of mine tell me what the owner has said about me. It's a small town, we all kind of know each other. It's just sad.
I am currently looking for a new provider and will be pulling child from T town.
I have worked at T town for sometime now. It’s sad to see this place becoming worse then it was. All of the “negative” are more like truthful reviews. They aren’t all from “disgruntled employees” as the owners like to say. I am posting a review because I am tired of everything going on and be swept under the rug.
We just had an inspection in January and we still DO NOT HAVE SAFE DRINKING WATER it’s March! Yes you read that correctly and if you would like to view this for yourself it is on the compass pa child care website. You can view all of the inspections there in very great detail.
The Owner has not obtained a safe drinking water certification as of 11/9/2022 and the department of human services found on 1/6/2023 that there was still no certification identifying that the water is NOT safe to use for anything. Which means the children and us staff members should not be here. This place should be shut down because off all the issues it has.
The food is not as FRESH as it is claimed to be. The “cook” doesn’t even wear gloves while she is preparing food and then passing it out. I do not see any of the teachers really wash their hands. It is like no one here knows how to clean or be clean themselves.
The high standing reviews are mainly from the owner and her “friends”. The Owner Sue comes on here and post high standing reviews just so it doesn’t look like the daycare is actually terrible. We are constantly hiring new people just to watch them leave because they realize how crazy the owner Sue is.
I and many other staff members are honestly so thankful they are moving to Arizona soon and Sue will not be around. The owner causes most of the drama with staff and families. She is also really good at lying to people and trying to make others look bad. Sue has done this to some of the employees who have left recently.
Trust me take your kid somewhere else. We will be closed in under 2 years. It always was and still is a failing business.
I have toured this provider's facility, but have not used its services
The 1 star is given for their healthy meals/snacks. That’s it. I love how the owner calls all of her past employees “disgruntled employees” when they are leaving truthful reviews. Reading all of these reviews and speaking to past employees I’m glad that I didn’t follow through with my application to work here. I’ve heard from current and previous employees that this place has gotten a lot worse since Sue’s assistant, Meghan, left. I’ve heard a lot of negative and not a lot of positive about this place from past/current employees and parents. The only reason why some parents take their kids here is because they work at Cargill and this place opens earlier than Wyalusing Children’s Center. If you have the choice I would choose to work somewhere else and take your child elsewhere. This place needs new ownership. This owner has on her Facebook that she wants to retire. I think that’s in the best interest for this business. Either sell or shut down.
I am a current employee and have been there for 2 years. I am in the infant room and have been for a year and a half and I can tell you that what Kate said in her post is 100% absolutely absurd and not correct. We do NOT give formula or milk to infants that are on breastmilk. NONE of the infants have gone home covered in bruises and they are most certainly not from an employee. I am appalled that someone would make these accusations. I personally love and adore each and every one of the infants I care for and treat them as if they were my own children with love.
They switched my sims breastmilk for formula. They’re extremely rude and unprofessional. My son would come back from daycare with bruises all over him and they would say a child did it when they weee CLEARLY from an adult hand. I’ve also heard how the owner talks to her staff and it’s disgusting. I will be contacting the better business bureau, this place needs to be shut down.
I am only putting TWO stars because the staff is amazing but the owner is a complete b****, the way she treats her staff is ridiculous and the way she talks about the children is cruel and disgusting. Anytime a child cries she instantly is saying “this is ridiculous” or they are “pathetic”. Not only do I not recommend sending your kids here, but I also do not recommend working here. Your paychecks will bounce. $10.50 is not worth the s*** you deal with there.
This place is not horrible like all of these reviews are saying. Ex employees are trying to stir up drama and make the owner look like crap! I never had an issue with the owner at all. They treat the kids with nothing but respect and love! All the employees there have to have background checks and all kinds of certifications to even work there! I can promise that your kids are safe. Stop listening to ex employees!
If I could give this place zero stars, I would. I highly recommend that you read and listen to all the “negative” reviews on this place. I have seen first hand what this place is like and it is awful. One of the worst daycares in the area by far. There are most certainly some great staff that work here, but the management, as previously mentioned by others, is terrible. Sue lies, gossips, and treats the children and parents like garbage. Children are not treated with the greatest care, there is chicken poop scattered around the outside of the building, it sticks, and is a very unprofessional atmosphere. I recommend that you do not work for nor take your children to T-Town Childcare. They will not be taken care of like you hope , and they might even put athletes foot cream on a baby rash (yes, Sue did that). It doesn’t matter how many times state gets called and they get turned in because Sue just lies and brainwashes her employees.
DO NOT WORK OR TAKE YOUR CHILD HERE
Children are screamed at and dragged to couches. Daycare has almost been shut down from owner not paying property taxes ( was in the newspaper) inspections where never good, weather it was from not having proper paperwork ,to not labeling baby bottles, or a child being unattended. Children are not treated very well. The teacher named Megan is extremely mean to the children and wouldn't even have them engage in any sort of crafts. Some of the workers are very nice, others not so much. The biggest problem is the owner creates drama between the workers and forms clicks. At one point had a worker who didn’t even have clearances because she had been arrested and the owner continued to allow her to work around children. The one had an underage drinking charge and continued working with the children. The owner is trying to re brand to cover up the fact her daycare is failing because she can’t be professional and can’t manage her finances. She talks about parents to employees weather it’s from late payments, to just her not liking the parent, or finding out the parent had the day off and still brought child in. Very two faced to everyone. Employees are in the dark about how she really is but as soon as they leave they realize how unprofessional she is. SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN. Unsanitary, gloves are not even used when changing diapers. I’ve seen it myself. All the reviews about this place being awful is true. Please for the love of god do not take your child there, and please do not work there. Employees never last children never see the same faces because owner is drama filled. It may say drama free but the owner lives off drama so “DRAMA FREE” is a complete lie. Pick wyalusing valley daycare
I was so glad to open this up and read the truth.
After hearing rumors of bounced checks, I still decided to work for T-Town.
Within a month my check bounced. Not only once!
The girls that work there are in the dark, they think this is normal.
Teachers are good. They do a good job most of the time.
And yes the yelling and dragging kids is true! If you are a parent and don't see it, well of course! You won't see it they won't do it until you're gone!
This daycare is a nice place to send your child. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the place. Kids are well taken care of, teachers work hard and love their students. Meals are wonderful. That is all that should matter!
Reading the reviews you would think this daycare was hell on earth. It is NOT a horrible awful place to send your children but it is not the best place in the world either.
I worked here for a short time and my child went too. I did see a lot of screaming and yelling which made me uncomfortable right from the start. The yelling and screaming was never from the teachers but from the owner.
The owner is very bossy and likes to have her hands in every single thing that goes on. It is not a bad thing but it makes a lot of the teachers unhappy. The camera ( 1 camera) is NOT for the kids it is so the owner can watch the teachers go in and out.it was always pointed at the sheet to sign in. The owner has a gossiping problem. It was noticed by all teachers and some parents.
People quit all the time, their are new teachers all the time which makes parents angry.
paychecks did bounce. I was not there at the time but I know for a fact they bounced severral times causing a lot of people to leave! I was with another teacher when she found out hers bounced! I was glad I left when I did.
Teachers were always good with all the kids and followed all the ratios so that was a lie. If we had to go to the bathroom we would have to call someone to cover us even when the kids were sleeping. Ratio was always right.
The teachers were good people who did good with the kids when I was there. When a child was acting up the teacher used the time out couch in front of the owners office.
The place isn't 5 star but it is not unsafe. If you can put up with the owner than it is not a bad place.
Wow! I am a happy parent who has two children in attendance and have been with T-town Childcare for 4 years. I also have a flexible schedule, so I have dropped off and picked up at different times of the day. I have NEVER witnessed or heard any of the things others are stating. In my opinion, ex employees are trying to stir up trouble and drama for the owner. I am always welcomed with a smile and a warm greeting, the staff are pleasant, the cook is amazing, and both my children have learned and thrived at T-town. I don't believe the negative reviews one bit!
I love how the only positive reviews come from current employees. I’ve worked here for a brief time and let me tell you what, everything Jensen N. said in a previous review is 100% the truth and nothing but the truth. My paycheck had bounced, Sue KNEW the checks would bounce because a few other peoples did the same pay period and already informed her and didn’t have the courtesy to inform the rest of us. OH and you should all hear the S*** she talks about the parents AND the children that attend her center, and put money in her pockets. that place is a complete joke. I have seen her drag the children, scream at them in their faces, threaten them, etc. this place needs to be SHUT DOWN. i feel sorry for all the children that have no choice but to go there daily. please keep your kids save and take them somewhere else!!! I wouldn’t take a pet hamster here, let alone a child. Also, i love how her and her employees refer to all former employees as “disgruntled”.
I wouldn't give 1 star if I didn't have to. Sue acts as if she is in preschool. Very petty and very childish behavior. She should be ashamed to conduct her self in this manner. She is two-faced and talks about everybody behind their backs including the children and the other parents.
I’m a parent that takes my child to this center. When I overheard staff talking about “reviews” left on a page about this center, I had to go look for myself. Some of these reviews I can see to be very true. When picking up my child, I have noticed and witnessed behavior from the owner of the center. Some I have not liked one bit. I have heard her yell from down the hall. The owner seems to be nice to your face, but I have had conversations with her where she has been saying rude things about other people. I plan to remove my child from the center because of behavior I have witnessed and what a few other parents have gone through with the owner to decided to remove their children. I’m not happy with my child here. Also, since bringing my child here Sue has gone through so many staff and when I run into them out and about they say similar things. The staff always seem nice and caring, but the owner is ruining her business for herself.
I am not only an employee at T-Town Childcare and Rec Center but I am also a mother of an infant that attends here.
I have been employed here for 1 year and 5 months.
I don’t feel like an employee here. I feel like a family member. I LOVE coming to work every day. Although it doesn’t seem like work since I love what I do and who I work with! ALL of the employees including the owner, Sue, get along and treat each other like family.
I can confidently say that I trust ALL of the teachers here to take care of my son. My son isn’t treated different just because I am employed here. All of the teachers take care of and treat the kids in the daycare just like their own.
I, personally, have not witnessed any child being treated in a manner that would concern me (as a mother) by any of the current employees (also including Sue).
I would 100% recommend T-Town Childcare and Rec Center to anyone looking for a fun, upbeat, loving, caring daycare.
Don’t just take anyone’s word for T-Town Childcare and Rec Center. Keep an open mind and come check it out for yourself! We would all love to have you visit and make your own opinion of our daycare!
T-town is an awesome place to take your child. The owner is always available at pick up to chat and make sure everything is going okay. The teachers are helpful, friendly, and genuinely care for the kids. My child has been attending for 3 years and I have always been satisfied with the care, the owner, the staff, and their menu and what they feed the kids is fantastic. Everything is home-cooked and they even make their own baby food from organic ingredients. I highly recommend T-town Childcare!
T-town Daycare is many things, but as what described by disgruntled old employees is not even the half of it. My daughter has been coming here for two years, and every single teacher she has had was nothing but loving, and treats her as they would their own child. Sue the owner is amazing, helpful, and loves every single child. The daycare over all offers home made meals, an outstanding curriculum, and a SAFE place that feels like home, to not only the children but the parents, and staff. At T-Town Daycare we are all a big family. Aside from the part where my daughter has wonderful teachers, gets one on one help with anything she struggles with, gets a good education with the curriculum the daycare offers, healthy meals, gets to participate in the yearly float for the parade in town every year ( which all the kids LOVE, not to mention the float and costumes are always amazing) I also am employed here. It started out as a summer job, then the next summer I came back again ( of course Sue with her arms wide open) then I decided to go to nursing school. When in nursing school I realized I missed the kids, the job I had, once again sue welcomed me with her arms wide open and I am now about two weeks away from starting college for early education because of a grant that is offered from Sue. In my time working here there was employees who formed cliches, and people found different jobs and left, or just working with kids wasn’t for them, or leaving for college. But the group of staff now is just a huge family, there is no “bubbles” it’s just us a tight knit family who loves working with children. In my time working here I have NEVER had a check bounce, been asked to not cash my check, seen children get “dragged” to couches, seen kids get screamed at in their faces. What I have seen is teachers bonding with children, and becoming a family who all loves one another, children lighting up when they find out what great activities we have planned for the day, making new friends, and expanding their experiences (such as bringing a yoga instructor in). I highly suggest coming in for a tour and meeting the upbeat ,amazing, loving owner Sue, and the rest of us amazing teachers. I guarantee you will feel at home, and love our outstanding daycare and will see how we stand out from other daycares in the area.
As someone who works at this facility, I can assure you that this establishment is a wonderful place for children. All of the staff including the owner are very pleasant and care for these children in a way that can’t be put into words. Each staff member bonds with every child and learn each child’s likes and dislikes. Your child is in great hands here. Don’t let disgruntled employee’s reviews detour you from placing your child here. Come and check our wonderful place out and meet all of us! We will welcome you and your family with open arms and beautiful smiles!
Sue, I assume you think I wrote that review because of “..J, even though I allowed you to return once.” comment, but I’ll tell you now that the review was somebody else’s opinion & review of your awful center. Anyways, here’s MY opinion of Sue & her unprofessional behaviors at her child care center. So, I had worked there for around a year & a half. When i got the job, I was warned by many people about Sue. But, my first few months i didn’t believe it. I was the “new girl” there so i didn’t know all the truths to her until I started catching onto her nasty lies and behaviors. It all started when she got very jealous of two other employees & i getting close because we all worked in the infant room together. She trashed talked all of us to everybody and made a huge fit about us saying we were “in a bubble” and only talked amongst ourselves. Anyways, she threw a fit saying that if we had a problem to always come to her about it. After awhile I went straight to her with any problem I was having, anyway to improve the center. She would get pissed off and b**** about the “problem” i had to other people. No wonder nobody would go to her for anything. So, I left in March of 2019 because of these reason. When I left, I tried to give her my two weeks & work out a schedule with the other job (my other job was willing to work with the daycare hours) Sue didn’t agree and told me my last day would be the following day (Friday). A week later, I came back because honestly I had no other (job) choice. The day I left she was bawling & had her husband come in and was crying just to make me feel bad for leaving there. All while she was trash talking me the whole time before & after. When I came back, all the bullshit was still the same, until it got worse. I so wish I had videos on my phone of the way she would scream in kids faces and grab their arm and basically drag them to the couch because either they wouldn’t sleep, had an accident, wasn’t listening to a teacher, etc. She would talk s*** on children, parents & employees in person and through our employee group chat. Her checks started bouncing and would tell us employees we weren’t allowed to deposit our checks right away. (I did anyways because that’s my money that I earned). The way she paid employees was very illegal as well as ratios were illegal. I bitched the one day because she wasn’t paying overtime when i clearly had overtime she would just put it over into the next pay period. Then she started to give me overtime “pay” which was still illegal because she wasn’t doing it the proper legal way. I was told for months to go to the department of labor for these illegal issues. Also, for over a month she moved a BABY up to the YOUNG TODDLER room (the baby was around 10-11 months old at the time) putting the young toddler teacher over ratio. I said something to Sue that it wasn’t right/fair/legal and she said oh she will be fine she will turn 1 in a few weeks anyways. At that point I had dialed for the inspector to come in, but couldn’t bring myself to call because I couldn’t lose my pay. Sue would get pissed off at parents if they didn’t come in right away to get their children. I do not recommend anyone to work for Sue or even take their children to her center. It’s not a healthy safe environment for children or adults. That place is full of negativity. I left there almost two months ago, along with another employee. Now, most of her employees are leaving because of these same reasons. DONT TAKE YOUR KIDS TO T-TOWN CHILDCARE. Keep them in a safe place.
T-town Childcare treats its clients like family. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and the children are all happy and engaged. I am pleased with the service we receive and recommend T-town Childcare!
This place has so much to improve on. It has so much going for it, and then you have an owner who is nothing but drama queen. She is paranoid always thinking everyone is out to get her. She treats her employees like trash! She always says everyone is causing drama when its HER! The children get SCREAMED at in there FACES instead of spoken too. The only good thing is it works around Cargill, and the food for the kids is great. The teachers wouldn't know since they aren't allowed to eat the food. The new Assistant Director and all the teachers are great and try there best but are not treated with respect.
I'm sorry you did not have a pleasant experience working here J, even though I allowed you to return once. I wish you well in your future endeavors!
If anyone is interested in seeing our great home-like environment, meeting our staff, viewing our menus, or seeing first-hand our security cameras that can be reviewed with a parent at any time in the security of my office, visit our website (www.ttownchildcare) or schedule a tour. (We plan to allow staff to enjoy the home-cooked meals when we finalize being accepted into the USDA food program! Right now our high costs of providing nutritious, home-cooked meals and snacks are managed by only serving the children in our care).

I am the owner
This review was from a disgruntled former employee. It's completely false and obviously written to harm. Please come check us out yourself!
The owner is very petty to both employees and staff, she's gone through so many staff in the year she's been open it's unreal. The employees working there now are NOT certified teachers, even though she advertises them as such. The worker in the baby room smokes around the babies, holding them or pushing them in strollers outside while she's puffing away. The majority of facebook reviews are from friends of hers, NOT people who take their kids there. Sue is not nice to the children, she uses her "mean voice" (yelling) constantly and tells the employees they have to do the same. She couldn't get hired at the elem. school because none of the teachers liked her and she wouldn't follow directions, it's the same at her daycare!! Don't give her instructions, she is either too stupid or thinks she "knows better" and won't follow them!! If you disagree with her, she'll threaten to take you to court, she's fired employees because she "thought they were talking about her". Meanwhile she CONSTANTLY gossips about parents, employees, kids, everyone! PLEASE TAKE YOUR KIDS SOMEPLACE ELSE!!!

I am currently looking for a new provider…..
As a parent I am really over T town constantly changing people. It is so inconstant for the kids. I can’t really trust who my kids will be around anymore and that is extremely frustrating. Not only that but they are feeding snacks on sticks and tooth picks! Like my kids are not old enough to have toothpicks ! Aren’t there guidelines on what you can and can’t give to a preschool/ kindergarten kid ? The elementary school doesn’t even hand out tooth picks but the “chef” at T town is willing to put them in a stick of cheese with a tomato on top making it look like a mushroom. What if my kid ate the toothpick because they didn’t know it was in the snack provided to them? I’m just curious would the owners be paying the medical bills for my kid to go to the ER because of what you put in your food. If not then, I highly suggest following basic guidelines of what a child should and should not have for snack time.
The reviews about this place seem to match up to well.
What Kate said is entirely true. Feeding breastfed children formula without discussing it with the parent has happened and continues to happen. The abuse towards the older children has happened. A child drug by their arm across the room. Yelled at. Plus much much worse. Sue will make up a story to where an employee or former employee can’t come forward about anything because she constantly is circulating lies and rumors about them to where she makes it seem like they are horrible people too. Can’t tell on Sue without “telling on yourself” because of the lies and drama she causes. Even if you are completely innocent. I’ve witnessed a lot, and this place is all around horrible and drama filled. Better believe she is talking bad about you if you are a parent, an employee, a child, a former employee. She doesn’t discriminate against who she is spreading rumors and drama about. Horrible place with a horrible owner. I wish I didn’t work here, but the kids are my pride and joy.

This place is a HOT MESS. The new “admin “ have NO clue what they are doing. I come in and ask where my child is at because they are always in different rooms and sometimes they don’t even know!! There is a random man that just walks through the building at different times of the day!! Does he have clearance? Why is he there? he is a boyfriend of someone who works there? All I know is that is not safe! Don’t get me started on all the new staff that has been coming in there! Some of them even look and act like they are strung out on something. Don’t send your kid there. The place will be shut down very soon anyways! The admin aren’t even educated by the looks. The staff never look happy! I come to pick up my child and I hear yelling at the kids! I was picking my child up and I saw a little girl outside of the fence one day while two very young staff were doing each others hair! There is never the same staff there when I pick up my child or drop him off. The outside and inside of the building are just nasty looking. The birds always have a huge mess. The lobby always has stuff just laying around! The fences that the children play in are falling apart! The actual owner needs to come back or at least talk to someone about how things are going. Apparently there is also unsafe drinking water! It looks to me like they are just hiring anyone on the streets for a CHILDCARE CENTER!! When Sue was there she would talk to me about my child’s day and was always there to help out! The new admin just sit in their offices and don’t even interact with the children or tell me about my child’s day! I would see staff dragging kids around because they are upset! They are children! If your child doesn’t take naps or like go they force the child to take naps. The new staff don’t even watch the kids properly, they just let them get into whatever they want and I have watched it happen right in front of me. They do have very few good staff but I’m sure they will be leaving just like the rest of the good staff over the years. It’s gonna be sad to see it close but it’s gonna happen if Sue doesn’t get someone better in to take over.
Just read the unsafe drinking water report from the state about this place and I am definitely glad I pulled my kids from t town I was done with how uncleanly it is. I was done with staff being constantly changed and I’m done with the nasty owner being so rude to children and parents that I hope she understands that’s why she’s losing staff and losing parents at this daycare. She is now hiring people who have kids (daycare age). The only reason she hired theses employees was so their kids could go to the daycare just so the owner could keep her numbers up. She’s not hiring people who are good for children. The owner is hiring people who are going to neglect your children and it’s evident with all of the children who have left this daycare within the last year including us. I am just another one who left because the owner and this new staff members are actually out of their minds. I’m here for a happy and safe environment. Not a mold filled broken down place. Officially done with t town and you all should be to.
The two reviews posted by “staff” are not from staff. They are from the owner. She is posting them to try and bring up her review.
People are posting the truth about how terrible it is here! In this case the truth is in the bad reviews sorry to say it but believe the bad post over the good because the good post are all from the owner Sue Gibbs. She is constantly trying to paint this image of how good and nice it is there but let’s be real the place is falling apart. Anyone can look up the reports that are made on the compass website they have the inspection reports. They literally show all the illegal things this daycare is doing. I suggest not reading these reviews and actually reading the states reports on this daycare. That’s only If you want to form your own thoughts and opinions. Because we all know how “convincing” the owner can be.
Im writing this due to the fact that others are saying very untrue and disgusting statements about the business. We take care of the kids as if they’re our own and make sure they have whatever they may need. The children eat breakfast and lunch along with multiple snack times throughout the day. All of our staff are clean and absolutely wash our hands multiple times in the day. I have had plenty of jobs and never felt comfortable at any of them, but the daycare makes me feel at home and the staff are more than just a team. I have been working here since February and seen the amount of positive changes. I enjoy and love my job more than anything and make sure every kid has love and care, whether they get it at home or not. We make sure each of them feel equal and comfortable. All staff and administrators are always on the lookout for kids and their safety, care, love, health, hygiene, etc. I hope that you can overlook these petty remarks of lies and give our daycare a chance. your kid is promised to feel at home, and if there’s anything you want us to make better, let us know.
The staff is like family and everyone communicates as needed. The center is cleaned multiple times a day and all toys are sanitized daily. The meals are cooked and prepared fresh in the kitchen by our chef and the children absolutely love her work. I have never felt so at home in a place of work but here, I do. My coworkers are so friendly and welcoming. I just started working here a couple months ago and have seen it change in multiple ways. The administration do whatever they can to make the childcare a better place. All classrooms are organized and sanitized everyday, making sure your kiddos have a safe and healthy place to enjoy. We have all kinds of activities and events for the kids but also the staff. Everyone takes care of each other and does what needs to be done to confirm the safety, health, care, and love for the children who enroll. Working here has gotten me very far in my life, and they help you with everything you need every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend this for any child and anyone looking to become a member of our staff!????????
It really upsets me seeing all the negative reviews that were left on here about TTown. I took my children to this daycare for years and never had any issues. They all loved it and enjoyed everyday there. Unfortunately, I had to take my kids out of daycare for a while because I stayed home and they missed being there. Now I work there and all my children go there and ALL FIVE OF THEM LOVE IT. All weekend they are asking when they can go back to school. I love my job and have never had any issues with of my coworkers or administration team. They are like a family and we all love the kids we take of. I love the children I care for as if they were my own. For people to leave such nasty, untrue remarks on here is so sad because I spend every day seeing the smiles and laughs of the children that are in the facility all day and they get to experience and learn so much... I hope if you are reading through these comments you take the time to come out and look at our center and meet the staff before you make a decision based on what is said on here. Thank you to all the TTown staff and administration for all you do for our kids!
To many issues with change of staff and the owner. facility is not really up to the standards a parent would want. A lot of there staff just left and it's sad to see good staff go. Now I'm looking for a new daycare as I am afraid of this constant change in staff. The owner is not reassuring either. I have had several friends of mine tell me what the owner has said about me. It's a small town, we all kind of know each other. It's just sad.
I am currently looking for a new provider and will be pulling child from T town.
I have worked at T town for sometime now. It’s sad to see this place becoming worse then it was. All of the “negative” are more like truthful reviews. They aren’t all from “disgruntled employees” as the owners like to say. I am posting a review because I am tired of everything going on and be swept under the rug.
We just had an inspection in January and we still DO NOT HAVE SAFE DRINKING WATER it’s March! Yes you read that correctly and if you would like to view this for yourself it is on the compass pa child care website. You can view all of the inspections there in very great detail.
The Owner has not obtained a safe drinking water certification as of 11/9/2022 and the department of human services found on 1/6/2023 that there was still no certification identifying that the water is NOT safe to use for anything. Which means the children and us staff members should not be here. This place should be shut down because off all the issues it has.
The food is not as FRESH as it is claimed to be. The “cook” doesn’t even wear gloves while she is preparing food and then passing it out. I do not see any of the teachers really wash their hands. It is like no one here knows how to clean or be clean themselves.
The high standing reviews are mainly from the owner and her “friends”. The Owner Sue comes on here and post high standing reviews just so it doesn’t look like the daycare is actually terrible. We are constantly hiring new people just to watch them leave because they realize how crazy the owner Sue is.
I and many other staff members are honestly so thankful they are moving to Arizona soon and Sue will not be around. The owner causes most of the drama with staff and families. She is also really good at lying to people and trying to make others look bad. Sue has done this to some of the employees who have left recently.
Trust me take your kid somewhere else. We will be closed in under 2 years. It always was and still is a failing business.
The 1 star is given for their healthy meals/snacks. That’s it. I love how the owner calls all of her past employees “disgruntled employees” when they are leaving truthful reviews. Reading all of these reviews and speaking to past employees I’m glad that I didn’t follow through with my application to work here. I’ve heard from current and previous employees that this place has gotten a lot worse since Sue’s assistant, Meghan, left. I’ve heard a lot of negative and not a lot of positive about this place from past/current employees and parents. The only reason why some parents take their kids here is because they work at Cargill and this place opens earlier than Wyalusing Children’s Center. If you have the choice I would choose to work somewhere else and take your child elsewhere. This place needs new ownership. This owner has on her Facebook that she wants to retire. I think that’s in the best interest for this business. Either sell or shut down.
I am a current employee and have been there for 2 years. I am in the infant room and have been for a year and a half and I can tell you that what Kate said in her post is 100% absolutely absurd and not correct. We do NOT give formula or milk to infants that are on breastmilk. NONE of the infants have gone home covered in bruises and they are most certainly not from an employee. I am appalled that someone would make these accusations. I personally love and adore each and every one of the infants I care for and treat them as if they were my own children with love.
They switched my sims breastmilk for formula. They’re extremely rude and unprofessional. My son would come back from daycare with bruises all over him and they would say a child did it when they weee CLEARLY from an adult hand. I’ve also heard how the owner talks to her staff and it’s disgusting. I will be contacting the better business bureau, this place needs to be shut down.
Don’t take your kids here if you love them.
I am only putting TWO stars because the staff is amazing but the owner is a complete b****, the way she treats her staff is ridiculous and the way she talks about the children is cruel and disgusting. Anytime a child cries she instantly is saying “this is ridiculous” or they are “pathetic”. Not only do I not recommend sending your kids here, but I also do not recommend working here. Your paychecks will bounce. $10.50 is not worth the s*** you deal with there.
This place is not horrible like all of these reviews are saying. Ex employees are trying to stir up drama and make the owner look like crap! I never had an issue with the owner at all. They treat the kids with nothing but respect and love! All the employees there have to have background checks and all kinds of certifications to even work there! I can promise that your kids are safe. Stop listening to ex employees!
I Love this place, very caring and nurturing.
If I could give this place zero stars, I would. I highly recommend that you read and listen to all the “negative” reviews on this place. I have seen first hand what this place is like and it is awful. One of the worst daycares in the area by far. There are most certainly some great staff that work here, but the management, as previously mentioned by others, is terrible. Sue lies, gossips, and treats the children and parents like garbage. Children are not treated with the greatest care, there is chicken poop scattered around the outside of the building, it sticks, and is a very unprofessional atmosphere. I recommend that you do not work for nor take your children to T-Town Childcare. They will not be taken care of like you hope , and they might even put athletes foot cream on a baby rash (yes, Sue did that). It doesn’t matter how many times state gets called and they get turned in because Sue just lies and brainwashes her employees.
DO NOT WORK OR TAKE YOUR CHILD HERE
Children are screamed at and dragged to couches. Daycare has almost been shut down from owner not paying property taxes ( was in the newspaper) inspections where never good, weather it was from not having proper paperwork ,to not labeling baby bottles, or a child being unattended. Children are not treated very well. The teacher named Megan is extremely mean to the children and wouldn't even have them engage in any sort of crafts. Some of the workers are very nice, others not so much. The biggest problem is the owner creates drama between the workers and forms clicks. At one point had a worker who didn’t even have clearances because she had been arrested and the owner continued to allow her to work around children. The one had an underage drinking charge and continued working with the children. The owner is trying to re brand to cover up the fact her daycare is failing because she can’t be professional and can’t manage her finances. She talks about parents to employees weather it’s from late payments, to just her not liking the parent, or finding out the parent had the day off and still brought child in. Very two faced to everyone. Employees are in the dark about how she really is but as soon as they leave they realize how unprofessional she is. SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN. Unsanitary, gloves are not even used when changing diapers. I’ve seen it myself. All the reviews about this place being awful is true. Please for the love of god do not take your child there, and please do not work there. Employees never last children never see the same faces because owner is drama filled. It may say drama free but the owner lives off drama so “DRAMA FREE” is a complete lie. Pick wyalusing valley daycare
I was so glad to open this up and read the truth.
After hearing rumors of bounced checks, I still decided to work for T-Town.
Within a month my check bounced. Not only once!
The girls that work there are in the dark, they think this is normal.
Teachers are good. They do a good job most of the time.
And yes the yelling and dragging kids is true! If you are a parent and don't see it, well of course! You won't see it they won't do it until you're gone!
Place is a joke. Go somewhere else.
This daycare is a nice place to send your child. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the place. Kids are well taken care of, teachers work hard and love their students. Meals are wonderful. That is all that should matter!
Reading the reviews you would think this daycare was hell on earth. It is NOT a horrible awful place to send your children but it is not the best place in the world either.
I worked here for a short time and my child went too. I did see a lot of screaming and yelling which made me uncomfortable right from the start. The yelling and screaming was never from the teachers but from the owner.
The owner is very bossy and likes to have her hands in every single thing that goes on. It is not a bad thing but it makes a lot of the teachers unhappy. The camera ( 1 camera) is NOT for the kids it is so the owner can watch the teachers go in and out.it was always pointed at the sheet to sign in. The owner has a gossiping problem. It was noticed by all teachers and some parents.
People quit all the time, their are new teachers all the time which makes parents angry.
paychecks did bounce. I was not there at the time but I know for a fact they bounced severral times causing a lot of people to leave! I was with another teacher when she found out hers bounced! I was glad I left when I did.
Teachers were always good with all the kids and followed all the ratios so that was a lie. If we had to go to the bathroom we would have to call someone to cover us even when the kids were sleeping. Ratio was always right.
The teachers were good people who did good with the kids when I was there. When a child was acting up the teacher used the time out couch in front of the owners office.
The place isn't 5 star but it is not unsafe. If you can put up with the owner than it is not a bad place.
Wow! I am a happy parent who has two children in attendance and have been with T-town Childcare for 4 years. I also have a flexible schedule, so I have dropped off and picked up at different times of the day. I have NEVER witnessed or heard any of the things others are stating. In my opinion, ex employees are trying to stir up trouble and drama for the owner. I am always welcomed with a smile and a warm greeting, the staff are pleasant, the cook is amazing, and both my children have learned and thrived at T-town. I don't believe the negative reviews one bit!
I love how the only positive reviews come from current employees. I’ve worked here for a brief time and let me tell you what, everything Jensen N. said in a previous review is 100% the truth and nothing but the truth. My paycheck had bounced, Sue KNEW the checks would bounce because a few other peoples did the same pay period and already informed her and didn’t have the courtesy to inform the rest of us. OH and you should all hear the S*** she talks about the parents AND the children that attend her center, and put money in her pockets. that place is a complete joke. I have seen her drag the children, scream at them in their faces, threaten them, etc. this place needs to be SHUT DOWN. i feel sorry for all the children that have no choice but to go there daily. please keep your kids save and take them somewhere else!!! I wouldn’t take a pet hamster here, let alone a child. Also, i love how her and her employees refer to all former employees as “disgruntled”.
I wouldn't give 1 star if I didn't have to. Sue acts as if she is in preschool. Very petty and very childish behavior. She should be ashamed to conduct her self in this manner. She is two-faced and talks about everybody behind their backs including the children and the other parents.
I’m a parent that takes my child to this center. When I overheard staff talking about “reviews” left on a page about this center, I had to go look for myself. Some of these reviews I can see to be very true. When picking up my child, I have noticed and witnessed behavior from the owner of the center. Some I have not liked one bit. I have heard her yell from down the hall. The owner seems to be nice to your face, but I have had conversations with her where she has been saying rude things about other people. I plan to remove my child from the center because of behavior I have witnessed and what a few other parents have gone through with the owner to decided to remove their children. I’m not happy with my child here. Also, since bringing my child here Sue has gone through so many staff and when I run into them out and about they say similar things. The staff always seem nice and caring, but the owner is ruining her business for herself.
I am not only an employee at T-Town Childcare and Rec Center but I am also a mother of an infant that attends here.
I have been employed here for 1 year and 5 months.
I don’t feel like an employee here. I feel like a family member. I LOVE coming to work every day. Although it doesn’t seem like work since I love what I do and who I work with! ALL of the employees including the owner, Sue, get along and treat each other like family.
I can confidently say that I trust ALL of the teachers here to take care of my son. My son isn’t treated different just because I am employed here. All of the teachers take care of and treat the kids in the daycare just like their own.
I, personally, have not witnessed any child being treated in a manner that would concern me (as a mother) by any of the current employees (also including Sue).
I would 100% recommend T-Town Childcare and Rec Center to anyone looking for a fun, upbeat, loving, caring daycare.
Don’t just take anyone’s word for T-Town Childcare and Rec Center. Keep an open mind and come check it out for yourself! We would all love to have you visit and make your own opinion of our daycare!
T-town is an awesome place to take your child. The owner is always available at pick up to chat and make sure everything is going okay. The teachers are helpful, friendly, and genuinely care for the kids. My child has been attending for 3 years and I have always been satisfied with the care, the owner, the staff, and their menu and what they feed the kids is fantastic. Everything is home-cooked and they even make their own baby food from organic ingredients. I highly recommend T-town Childcare!
T-town Daycare is many things, but as what described by disgruntled old employees is not even the half of it. My daughter has been coming here for two years, and every single teacher she has had was nothing but loving, and treats her as they would their own child. Sue the owner is amazing, helpful, and loves every single child. The daycare over all offers home made meals, an outstanding curriculum, and a SAFE place that feels like home, to not only the children but the parents, and staff. At T-Town Daycare we are all a big family. Aside from the part where my daughter has wonderful teachers, gets one on one help with anything she struggles with, gets a good education with the curriculum the daycare offers, healthy meals, gets to participate in the yearly float for the parade in town every year ( which all the kids LOVE, not to mention the float and costumes are always amazing) I also am employed here. It started out as a summer job, then the next summer I came back again ( of course Sue with her arms wide open) then I decided to go to nursing school. When in nursing school I realized I missed the kids, the job I had, once again sue welcomed me with her arms wide open and I am now about two weeks away from starting college for early education because of a grant that is offered from Sue. In my time working here there was employees who formed cliches, and people found different jobs and left, or just working with kids wasn’t for them, or leaving for college. But the group of staff now is just a huge family, there is no “bubbles” it’s just us a tight knit family who loves working with children. In my time working here I have NEVER had a check bounce, been asked to not cash my check, seen children get “dragged” to couches, seen kids get screamed at in their faces. What I have seen is teachers bonding with children, and becoming a family who all loves one another, children lighting up when they find out what great activities we have planned for the day, making new friends, and expanding their experiences (such as bringing a yoga instructor in). I highly suggest coming in for a tour and meeting the upbeat ,amazing, loving owner Sue, and the rest of us amazing teachers. I guarantee you will feel at home, and love our outstanding daycare and will see how we stand out from other daycares in the area.
As someone who works at this facility, I can assure you that this establishment is a wonderful place for children. All of the staff including the owner are very pleasant and care for these children in a way that can’t be put into words. Each staff member bonds with every child and learn each child’s likes and dislikes. Your child is in great hands here. Don’t let disgruntled employee’s reviews detour you from placing your child here. Come and check our wonderful place out and meet all of us! We will welcome you and your family with open arms and beautiful smiles!
Sue, I assume you think I wrote that review because of “..J, even though I allowed you to return once.” comment, but I’ll tell you now that the review was somebody else’s opinion & review of your awful center. Anyways, here’s MY opinion of Sue & her unprofessional behaviors at her child care center. So, I had worked there for around a year & a half. When i got the job, I was warned by many people about Sue. But, my first few months i didn’t believe it. I was the “new girl” there so i didn’t know all the truths to her until I started catching onto her nasty lies and behaviors. It all started when she got very jealous of two other employees & i getting close because we all worked in the infant room together. She trashed talked all of us to everybody and made a huge fit about us saying we were “in a bubble” and only talked amongst ourselves. Anyways, she threw a fit saying that if we had a problem to always come to her about it. After awhile I went straight to her with any problem I was having, anyway to improve the center. She would get pissed off and b**** about the “problem” i had to other people. No wonder nobody would go to her for anything. So, I left in March of 2019 because of these reason. When I left, I tried to give her my two weeks & work out a schedule with the other job (my other job was willing to work with the daycare hours) Sue didn’t agree and told me my last day would be the following day (Friday). A week later, I came back because honestly I had no other (job) choice. The day I left she was bawling & had her husband come in and was crying just to make me feel bad for leaving there. All while she was trash talking me the whole time before & after. When I came back, all the bullshit was still the same, until it got worse. I so wish I had videos on my phone of the way she would scream in kids faces and grab their arm and basically drag them to the couch because either they wouldn’t sleep, had an accident, wasn’t listening to a teacher, etc. She would talk s*** on children, parents & employees in person and through our employee group chat. Her checks started bouncing and would tell us employees we weren’t allowed to deposit our checks right away. (I did anyways because that’s my money that I earned). The way she paid employees was very illegal as well as ratios were illegal. I bitched the one day because she wasn’t paying overtime when i clearly had overtime she would just put it over into the next pay period. Then she started to give me overtime “pay” which was still illegal because she wasn’t doing it the proper legal way. I was told for months to go to the department of labor for these illegal issues. Also, for over a month she moved a BABY up to the YOUNG TODDLER room (the baby was around 10-11 months old at the time) putting the young toddler teacher over ratio. I said something to Sue that it wasn’t right/fair/legal and she said oh she will be fine she will turn 1 in a few weeks anyways. At that point I had dialed for the inspector to come in, but couldn’t bring myself to call because I couldn’t lose my pay. Sue would get pissed off at parents if they didn’t come in right away to get their children. I do not recommend anyone to work for Sue or even take their children to her center. It’s not a healthy safe environment for children or adults. That place is full of negativity. I left there almost two months ago, along with another employee. Now, most of her employees are leaving because of these same reasons. DONT TAKE YOUR KIDS TO T-TOWN CHILDCARE. Keep them in a safe place.
T-town Childcare treats its clients like family. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and the children are all happy and engaged. I am pleased with the service we receive and recommend T-town Childcare!
This place has so much to improve on. It has so much going for it, and then you have an owner who is nothing but drama queen. She is paranoid always thinking everyone is out to get her. She treats her employees like trash! She always says everyone is causing drama when its HER! The children get SCREAMED at in there FACES instead of spoken too. The only good thing is it works around Cargill, and the food for the kids is great. The teachers wouldn't know since they aren't allowed to eat the food. The new Assistant Director and all the teachers are great and try there best but are not treated with respect.
This review was from a disgruntled former employee. It's completely false and obviously written to harm. Please come check us out yourself!
The owner is very petty to both employees and staff, she's gone through so many staff in the year she's been open it's unreal. The employees working there now are NOT certified teachers, even though she advertises them as such. The worker in the baby room smokes around the babies, holding them or pushing them in strollers outside while she's puffing away. The majority of facebook reviews are from friends of hers, NOT people who take their kids there. Sue is not nice to the children, she uses her "mean voice" (yelling) constantly and tells the employees they have to do the same. She couldn't get hired at the elem. school because none of the teachers liked her and she wouldn't follow directions, it's the same at her daycare!! Don't give her instructions, she is either too stupid or thinks she "knows better" and won't follow them!! If you disagree with her, she'll threaten to take you to court, she's fired employees because she "thought they were talking about her". Meanwhile she CONSTANTLY gossips about parents, employees, kids, everyone! PLEASE TAKE YOUR KIDS SOMEPLACE ELSE!!!
