I have used this provider for less than 6 months
I had a child in the infant room, the first thing I did in fact notice after she started was the smell, it was very musty and it really smelled as if it had not been cleaned and I had a bad feeling about it but since I loved Emily (only there in the morning) I just let it go. Also, there were times I would walk in and the floor was nasty that the infants were on. Next my baby stayed sick! I understand that newborns pick up everything but in the short time that she was there (a little over a month or right at it), she had 2 stomach bugs & hand foot & mouth. I get 1 stomach bug but hand foot & mouth I really didn't understand a 3 month old getting....after speaking with a few people, neither did they & they even questioned my taking her there and then a week later she contracted another stomach bug. The 3rd thing was there was 1 person that was unnecessarily rude to my husband and he has to be the most laid back person I know and it seemed to really bother him so we felt we needed to look elsewhere at that point. We pulled her out 5 months ago & they just deposited our check a week ago and I felt that we should have had some sort of warning. If the check was lost, fine, we would have been more than happy to bring another up there. Given it was so long, I feel like a phone call even text would have been a nice thing to do....
Since we have found a new daycare and she has been health & happy. My husband and I are so much happier since we have made this move, that right there makes me wish I would have made the move sooner.

About the Provider
Almost Home Child Care in Mocksville, NC has been caring and nurturing kids ever since we opened in 1994. The owner/director, Debra Stanley, fulfilled her dream to open a licensed child care center to meet the needs of the local community. One of the things that makes Almost Home Child Care special is the hours. We are open from 5 am through second shift, closing at 2 am or later. We also offer weekend care and third shift on an as needed basis. But, what makes us so special is our caring and loving teachers. We have teachers that have been with us since we opened and even have teachers that came to Almost Home as kids. Our motto, “We learn when we play” rings true in our classrooms throughout the day. Our kids are learning through every art project, dramatic play, and social interaction.
