I am an employee

I have been working for this center for about two months and I must say I have loved each and every moment! FROM the staff to the beautiful children and their amazing families that we serve .
I began this job at the sudden ending of a chapter in my life and just being around such awesome kids and great,strong willed, proud, & independent women has made my personal life that much easier to cope with. I want to thank the parents who allow me the opportunity and true privilege to care for your little ones because as like yourselves I'm simply getting up each morning to provide for my own daughters ( one of whom is a student here as well in Miss.Nicole's Pre-K classroom) . I'm forever in debt and gratitude to Miss.Latesha Scott the owner and Miss.Joy whye the director for seeing in me something good enough to work with and be given such enormous responsibilities & expectations . When you come to a job you love every day it's very hard to see it as work but, we are always given friendly reminders that this is a place of business and we are entrusted
with the most important part of any parents lives and we need to always stay vigilant and aware that those babies are to be cared for in the most appropriate, loving, kind, and responsible way possible at all times..

My child went to this daycare later came home about 3 months into the day care and told me Mrs. Donna was beating my child! I did get the state involved.
