They claimed my son said a "bad word" so the director Farhang instructed one of the aids to 'wash our that dirty mouth"soo she washed his mouth out with soap. We called DYFS they "investigated'& said to of found nothing but next thing we knew we were the ones being investigated by DYFS. Not a place you want your kids to go. Nine times out of time if a report is made is minor. Like another time my son had a nose bleed that went on for a half an hour & they never called me. I found out after noticing he had different clothes on & HE told me. After that they told me. My kid's stuff had been given away numerous times too by the aids.

PLEASE READ!!!!! Stay away from this daycare! My 2year old daughter went there for 8 months and had a terrible accident. Both front teeth were pushed back and i was not called and made aware of the situation. The teachers nor the aid could explain how this happened or even when it happened. A minor report was written up when they noticed blood on her sheets and around her mouth after putting her to sleep that way. They claimed she woke up that way or may have gum disease! I understand that accidents happen but to have her there for 5 hours without any medical attention is absolute neglect. They are now being investigated by DYFS. I would never recommend this place to anyone! Parents please think twice about enrolling your kids to this daycare.
