I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I absolutely love this daycare. My daughter has been at this daycare since September, 2019 and she will graduating next week. I am so thankful to Miss Mo and Mrs. T for everything they have done for her. From her early morning hugs from Miss Mo to her goodbye hugs from Mrs. T. Tomorrow's Leaders has been our extended family. Thanks to Miss Mo my daughter is ready for her Kindergarten. She have thought her so much from how to write her name, addition and subtraction, to how to sit when she wearing a dress and why. Mrs. T let her know that it is always best to do the right thing every time regardless of what other people are doing. I can go on for days, because my daughter have been their for two years. She will be starting Kindergarten in September,2021. I will really miss them.
I forgot to mention it is extremely affordable I paid $400 monthly and that included breakfast, lunch and a midevening snack. Can't beat that, because I am a single Mom and I made $300 to much a year to qualify for financial assistance.
Also for her birthday they had a surprise birthday party for her. She had so much fun, she can't wait for her birthday next year.
If I ever have more kids there is no place my baby will be going, but Tomorrow's Leaders in Absecon. I am forever grateful to them. They are truly amazing.

Tired of changing rules

The director of Tomorrow's Leaders seems as money hungry as they come! She changes the policies of the daycare to suit her on a regular basis. Even when you follow the procedures, she changes them to try and squeeze more money out of parents. Their two week policy for changes into their contract was expressed to me in the beginning and when I have notice she told me I needed to give notice the Friday before making it 17 days notice not two weeks... The next time I changed my son's contract, I was told 17 days notice wasn't enough, I had to give 24 days notice and this was "Two weeks"... Not sure where she learned to read a calendar but after I paid for the following week I was told I needed to pay extra to bring my child in or else they wouldn't accept him. I called several times to try and speak to her so she could explain her calendar to me and show me in black and white where 24 translated into two weeks... And she conveniently wasn't available for weeks. This woman will do anything to get a buck from desperate parents in need. I wasn't the only parent she did this to. Furthermore the turnover of employees was very frequent! Other children would end up eating the food I sent for my child, and when I'd go around pick up time, the children would be sitting in front of a television watching Sponge Bob. I was VERY unhappy with my experience there, and I hope she changes her treatment of people and learns to read a calander before anyone else gets bamboozled.
