Get ready to part with your vacation time at work! This is the perfect place to enroll your child if you are looking for an unreliable facility that that calls you bi-weekly to report phantom fevers. Looking for sub-par teachers and staff? You are in luck! The best teachers quickly leave St. Paul's when they realize what a s*** hole it is, leaving behind staff who "tolerate" our most precious gifts and are only there for a paycheck. Trust me - if you show up early, you'll find them with their eyes glued to their cellphones and the kids standing on tables every time! They definitely have more important things to do, so you can be sure your child will have the most inattentive, unqualified "teacher" with him or her at all times every single day. Need a daycare run by a director who makes decisions based on her own personal convenience rather than what's in the best interest of your child and has zero qualifications for anything pertaining to children? This is the solution you've been looking for! If you don't like your kids, enroll them at St. Paul's! You won't be disappointed in the (at best) mediocrity and (at worst) complete indifference to your child's needs.
Awful. Ran by unprofessional director. Run down.
My Child would like to know why is it ok for your place of business to have employees that work there that let their child get away with hitting and hurting other children? This in no way is professional. I have actually seen this continue to happen and nothing is done. I am currently speaking with other's on this ongoing issue and will seek professional advice on having this addressed.
