I was an employee an employee for less then two weeks. It was the worst place every they had 25 kids in the main room. It was filthy there was only me and the lady working. She screams at the kids all day I had to leave because she thought it was okay to talk to me anyway. If you’re a parent PLEASE ASK TO GO IN TO SEE WHERE YOUR KIDS ARE!
Absolutely love this daycare my kids are ridiculously anti-social but they love everything about this place which makes me love it also!
I was happy with this daycare for my daughter she been there for a 3 years I believe. She loves it specially the staff there are very nice the director is very kind, respectful and understandable. She loves the kids treats them like her own. They are a family over there. They teach the kids quite well. Also it’s diverse over there which is very good. They do a lot of inside activities and outside activities with they kids it’s more a daycare for the kids it’s also a home for them. I will gladly recommend a friend of mine to this daycare.
I could not be happier with this center and do not understand the negative reviews at all. The owners are amazing people who go out of their way to help me with my daughter. I honestly would be lost without them. I would give 10 stars if I could.
Great daycare, Loving and caring for children.My children attend the daycare and they love it.
This is a great daycare, My sister worker there and every time I come visit her the employees always greet me and the people that run the daycare is very friendly. I would recommend this daycare to everybody that I know that has kids. This Is the best daycare in northeast.
When my child first started attending this daycare I was really impressed because he learned so much so fast. When it comes to the daycare's curriculum I have no complaints at all. I also love the fact that the center is diverse (kids as well as staff). The facility is clean and they're always doing things with the kids. Trip, movies, celebrations, bake sales, even safety speakers coming in (fire department). My issue with the daycare is the turn around of the staff. My child has had several teachers since he has been at the establishment. And I don't mean 1 or 2...i mean several. There is no communication..either I come to pick up my child and boom...new face. From time to time they ask us parents if we could leave our child home because they are short staff. I understand this is for safety reasons and there are policies around ratio...but come on this is a business and they should have a policy in place for when a staff member is going to be out. Just recently I learned that the owner takes long periods of time off every now and then..which I'm fine with. But there should be staff in that are just as attentive as the owner.. also certified to do the job. This has left me uneasy and has caused me to start searching for different childcare for my child.
I love this center and it's employees. I would not trust my child elsewhere. The owner and his wife are great people who have since become more than just childcare providers to my children. I recommend this center to anyone and everyone looking for childcare !
Very clean and nice facility . My child’s teacher is wonderful and truly cares for my son.
The staff is awesome!
I work at this daycare. The owner she is great with the kids. The kids go on fun trips such as the aquarium, funplex, the zoo and many more trips. They also do fun things such as book fairs, bake sale, movie day . It’s never a day where the kids are just sitting there with nothing to do they always have something to do. They do a lot of arts and crafts projects. This is the best daycare to work at and bring your kids too.
I sent my kid here for summer camp and by far the worst decision I’ve ever had. The owner is horrible. Mainly the husband. He’s very degrading towards women and he speaks as if you must do as he says immediately “or else”. His wife was way more of a business woman than him however he states he runs the business end. My son came home with a scratch a couple of times and they didn’t know anything about It when I asked them. I was buzzed in numerous times without anything actually looking to see who was at the door. Once a guy was buzzed in and sitting in the lobby. When he saw me he asked for directions to another place and said he’d been waiting for someone at the front desk for over five minutes. FIVE MINUTES. In five minutes a child could have been placed in danger. I would not trust this place at all. They also refuse to give you their ein to claim on your taxes because the owner says “you must come in and pick up the form” which is crazy especially since I’ve moved across the city. Don’t send your kid here.
Initially, I was very impressed by this daycare and the emphasis on teaching. My child loved it there but I have been forced to remove my child. There is a constant revolving door of teachers. My child has been there 4 months and had 7-8 different teachers including 2 temps. The main concern is that in 4 months my child received 3 scratches, a blood nose and 4 bites! I addressed the biting and was told repeat biters where not allowed to stay. Fast forward the to to the most recent bite and the owner told me that I was excessive for taking my child to the doctor. She also compare my child's bites to that of scratching another kid. She admitted after confrontation that there is a repeat biter and they are working on it. She also stated that biting is "what kids do." I was furious as I know biting happens but with the correct training and supervision, it doesn't become a normal occurance. The outrage of the child's behavior (biter)was further compounded by the owners attitude that I did seek medical attention and intended on giving the bill to the parents of the biter. Do not trust your children here.
