My son goes to the daycare because mom and dad need to work otherwise I would not expose my son to this. In the beginning, when he had 7 months was all ok. Now he is 13 months and the place is not good at all. The infant room (Warrendale unit) has only 1 person that likes and knows how to work with babies, miss Vicky. all others just don't care and treat my son as garbage ( I feel they don't know what is a baby). It's not only about ignoring the baby crying, IT'S ABOUT TO FORGOT TO FEED HIM WITH MILK ALL DAY LONG for 2 times in one month... Yes, for 2 times in one month, all the milk we sent was not used, the bottles came back full of milk and my son was starving... And they tried to hide it from me when I asked for the bottles to get it back home. The last time it happens (yesterday 06/29/2022) he was sleeping at 4 pm when I came to grab him and now I know why. it was because he was starving and thirsty. Yesterday, as soon as I got him at the place, I gave him a bottle of water + an apple juice box and he drank it without stopping to breathe. It's very frustrating when you pay almost $2k and see your son treated like s***. They were advised that the next time it happens, no talk anymore; police and lawyer will knock on their door.
Well I took Payton who is 4 years to a playground at Round Hill Farm there was a group of kids from Camp gator that showed up and Payton started playing with some of the girls while I'm sitting there watching they were in a cave like structure under the steps I heard one of the girls say bite her and then Payton cried out for me so I went over and I said what happened and a little girl said nothing we're playing a game I said what kind of game because I just heard you say bite her and now my daughter's upset the little girl proceeded to tell me it's a game called dragon and I said is that a biting game and she said no it's just a game we play so I asked her how do you play and apparently I must have had a mean look on my face because she couldn't tell me anything so then I proceeded to take my daughter and went to one of the counselors that were there with Camp gator and ask her do you know of a game called dragon the counselor said no so I had told her what I overheard and what has happened and I told her you better get to the bottom of it then so then I had another Counselor come up to me and I told her the same and then she told me to calm down I told her that I am calm and then if I find out one of them girls bit my daughter I won't be anymore she went over to the girls who were still under the steps guess we had discussion with them and she never came back to speak to me I told my daughter to stay away from those girls I asked the one lady that told me to calm down for the phone number to the camp and she said she wasn't given it to me I said way to be an adult then she proceeded to tell me that my child cried four times Annette counselor came to find me all four times I said no she didn't she said yes she did I told her do you mean when her and the other little boy who are playing ran head-on into each other because if that's what you're saying she didn't cry because the lady son who ran into her said I'm surprised she isn't crying and I told the lady they had said that I'm surprised she isn't crying so then I proceeded to tell the counselor who wouldn't give me the phone number to the camp not to worry I'll find it so as I was leaving the park I saw the kids with the counselors getting onto a bus that said Warrendale so when I got home I looked it up got the phone number and call them spoke to a lady named Sarah it said she was the director and told her everything I just said here on Facebook she proceeded to tell me that these kids are like family but she's not making any excuses for their actions but they kind of stick together as if they were family so I proceeded to tell her so what this family growls and tells people to bite each other she says she would speak to the kids that were there and the counselors about their actions and when I told her that the one counselor would not give me the phone number she said that she would speak to her so all in all more than likely nothing was accomplished I am appalled at the way staff responds to situations
As a parent who has sent my son the Allie Alligator for the last year I am often asked if I would recommend the center. YES! The director and staff are outstanding. I came across the previous review from "Cranberry Dad" and realized what an idiot this guy must be. It is obvious by his initial statement of "shopping" for daycare centers. You don't "shop" for childcare. You put a tremendous amount of trust in the people who take care of your children. Apparently "Cranberry Dad" is a CRABBY DAD! Allie Alligator is the best child care center in Pittsburgh! Keep up the great work!
After shopping for daycare centers near Cranberry, we finally decided on Allie Alligator. Based on our initial interactions with the staff and the first day tour, we had high hopes for our child s time there. However, we observed and learned about numerous practices by staff and situations in the classroom that risked our child s health and comfort. We were very disappointed that the director or staff did not notify us of these unsafe situations when they occurred. Despite notifying the director, these circumstances persisted. As such, we have removed our child from this center and will not return.
