I wish that this website had an up to date listing of all of the violations they recently received. 19. There are 19 violations, ranging from not doing back ground checks, to the ratio of children to adults being too low. I am still confused as to why this place is still operating. The owner plays favorites with kids, talks badly about other kids, screams at children and is down right rude to parents. Why she is in childcare is beyond me.
Absolutely stay away. Place is dirty. Deb yelling at children. To many children to teachers, well if you call them that. New teachers weekly. Deb needs to move on, do not trust her at all.
My child was often scared as soon as we walked in the door because they could hear Miss Deb screaming at other kids. But, there are 2 children there that get away with what ever they want. Miss Deb lets these 2 children in her office and doesn't make them clean up with the other children, and pretty much lets them do whatever they please because she is friends with their parents. EVERY "teacher" that we would get to start liking would quit and I stopped trusting the quality of care my child received. I would stay as far away as possible from this place if you are looking for a good daycare.
The staff is always very friendly and helpful. They give me a full report of what my child did for the day. I have seen a lot of turn over for the infant room, but I trust Deb's judgement in terms of the staffing. They have activities planned daily, and the children all seem very engaged and enjoy what is planned out for them. I would recommend this center to any of my friends or family looking for a reliable, safe environment for their little one!
