An Apple A Daycare NY, INC

I am so disappointed with my experience with this daycare and the owner. I have many reasons, the complete lack of a summer schedule, all you have to do is look through the pictures, this woman thought an appropriate day care activity is for your children to watch construction work being done on the house next door! ... not exactly the educational experience I thought I was paying for. The owner informed me, with 2 weeks notice that my daughter wouldn't be able to come to daycare for 2 weeks just because her full time students are far more important to her than my part time child. I told her we would need to find alternate care because I needed care for those two weeks and prefer consistency for my child. She began to text my husband behind my back, we were all communicating on a group text. She texted him complaining abut me! She also called him 3 times during his work day, he almost got sanctioned for it! I found alternate care, and allowed her to keep the remainder of my August tuition even though my daughter did not attend for the last two weeks of august, but that wasn't enough for the owner Michele, she had to keep my $90 security because I didn't give her the 5 weeks notice she requires! Well she only gave me 2 weeks notice about the change making it impossible for me to give her proper notice. She is not a warm or nice person, she barely smiles when you drop your child off, she insists on cash which is shady enough, but seriously this was a scam from the start, she filled my part time spot with a full time student, then bumped me with 2 weeks noticed and kept all my money! I even reached out and said I would drop this whole thing if she returned my $90, she told me to take her to small claims court! So that s the type of person watching your kids, but steer clear of this very illegitimate business!!
