I have used this provider for more than 6 months

The only thing keeping this place with a good spirit is the employees. There are favorites and the owner is selfish and keeps it cold.

I am the owner

I'm sorry for your dissatisfaction, but to this date of posting, your children are still enrolled and attending daily at my facility. Our center serves homemade biscuits, macaroni salad, popcorn, goldfish, cupcakes, salad, and fruit for snack to name a few favorites. We have even cooked Turkey dinner for Thanksgiving during their time off from school. As the director, it is not my position to care for the children daily - that is for my staff. I am available to my parents and children on a regular basis, but have never received a complaint from this parent. We were just inspected for our annual inspection by DHS and the borough - all passed and were 'relicensed. As for our closing, parents are given a minimum of 1 1/2 weeks notice of a closing barring emergencies. I am bound by HIPPA laws that do not permit me to acknowledge the name of a child at my center. We have never had a virus, bacteria, or any other type of breakout at our facility due to our cleanliness routines. My staff all have backgrounds in education, psychology, family services, daycare, and criminal justice. Any toys that are broken - as children tend to break things- are promptly thrown away. We are currently a STAR one facility and working toward our second star which will happen within the first 2.5 years of opening. I hope that anyone with concerns or interest will feel free to call or stop in for a tour. Tours are available within 24 hours of a call Monday-Friday.

This daycare needs shut down. Staff is unqualified and rude. The owner treats the kids very poorly. She has favorites, she doesn't provide quality snacks, she doesn't engage with kids or parents. She doesn't let parents know important information of what happens at the center. She doesn't inform parents in a timely manner of when she is closing. The kids play with broken toys and in the run down churches back yard. The building in infested with bugs.
