I made a visit to this daycare and have to say that it has to be the worse one I have visited. The smell of dogs and cats urine is so terrible. As particular as the health department is supposed to be on things how in the world do they manage to get by with the conditions that are present in the home daycare. Haywood County Health Department surely isn't doing their job on this one. I wouldn't let my child stay there under no circumstances.
I checked out this daycare thinking it would be the one for my little girl but man was I wrong. The health department must not visit this place and if they do they must have trouble with their smell cause the smell of dogs, cats or whatever is horrible. The minute I entered the doorway it was the first thing that hit me and the longer I stayed the more nauseous I got. Someone with the heath department or child services doesn't do their job on this place that is for sure....
Really don't see how this daycare gets by the health department, must have them bought off or something cause the entire place is nasty and defiantly has the smell of dogs and urine. I would stay at home and furnish my own babysitting before I would consider leaving my child at this daycare.
really didn't care for this day care at all. I felt as though it was not a clean place at all. smells of dog, cats and maybe other animals but the smells were bad. Just didn't feel as though this day care was for my child. environment just not sanitary at all.
this is a horrible daycare, it smells so bad and I know that the dogs are what causes the smell, certainly wouldn't let my children stay there.
the place is totally nasty, smells bad from all the dogs don't see how the health department lets them get by with this like this.certainly wouldn't let a child of mine stay there.
