They play favorites here with staff as well as families. Great place if you are a favorite of the upper management (Marion and Susan). If not then you are lied to. Preschool is the favorite of Marion and it shows. One staff had a baby, Marion buys everything for that child. Will take said child out of classroom and hang out in her office with child. If preschool child is having a "rough" day there is no problem in her taking child into her office to "regroup". Not the case for toddlers. Staff need a stress break? Fine for preschool teacher. Not happening for other staff.
Cornerstone Child Care Is the BEST center that I have come in contact with in the Meadville Area! 4 STAR facility and 5 STAR recommendation!!!
Disgusting comments from a carer called Susan working in the infant room about breastfeeding and women needing to 'learn their place!' I certainly wouldn't want this woman teaching my child!!
