My granddaughter started out at this daycare during the COVID quarantine because I'm an essential worker and she had room for us. My daughter and I immediately connected with Tammy. She IS that grandmother that everyone wants. Her kids adore her, and my granddaughter was no exception. I would pick her up after work to a big smile on her little cute face. Once the state opened, I was sad to leave them. I begged her to let us know when she had an opening. When I finally was able to get back into the daycare it was none too soon. Her previous daycare was more of a clinic. The baby never was happy to go there. Now she laughs and is excited in the mornings, and doesn't want to leave in the evenings.
I truly wanted to love this daycare,but after many issues and I didn't say much at all about them? I was asked to find other childcare for my child! There chickens (yes I said chickens lol) in the yard and the do get out and are in the driveway,the porch (entrance to the daycare/home) and goats,dogs,cats.. I felt like I was taking my daughter to a zoo! 0_o The owners other family members who will not be named here is in and out of the home all day everyday so it would seem and other people that are not lic. are in and out as well.This caregiver was bold enough to tell me after two weeks of my being there she was taking her with her to HER DOCTORS APPOINTMENT! Not for a child... but herself! I of course was stupified and said "no".She meet me at a HOTEL to pick my daughter up with a "family friend" in his 60's! I was very weary at that point and the added bonus to all of this experience was the fact I was told AFTER I paid for a month of care that in a little over a month low and behold she was going on a "yearly vacation" for an entire WEEK and I would still be PAYING for care but not getting it (she never said not one word the entire time I was interviewing her/filling out paper work) and I asked her why I would need to pay due to this fact and was told "this is a yearly thing".Very unprofessional.The daycare is in the middle of nowhere.
You get what you pay for!Please ve weary of this location and seek other care,if you do ahve any concerns and or questions as to why something is amiss it seems your booted to the curb really quick like.And the method used to let you know not to bring your child back? A text message.It doesn't get more unprofessional than this.Bathtub in the childrens bathroom had a NASTY toilet brish in it and it smells to high heavens.. Not a recommended place for any family with clean standards.Go another route if at all possible,by the time you pay for all the gas? You might as well use a REAL facility! :)
