Reviews
All of the reviews regarding mold are true. The ceilings leaked and have fallen down and were repaired over top of once they dried. There are pictures for proof. The breaker box had also not been inspected since 1972. They pay an insider name Brit from the fire dept to come inspect for one of their inspections and there is message proof for that as well. Do not believe what the owners have to say as this place is not somewhere that children should be expected to be placed for long periods of time. Have also been told of children being smacked and punished for not eating properly. Avoid at all costs.
I would say that the best thing to do is to tour the facility yourself and give it your own opinion. I am a nurse and school teacher and cleanliness is a must. We have never had mold or have been dirty and we have incident reports on file for the state to see at anytime. Like every other center we do make paperwork mistakes at times, but Observing and caring for the children is our number 1 goal!
This facility is filthy and it smells like mold. The workers have too many kids to watch and my grandson has come home twice with a black eye and my granddaughter came home with red welts on her neck at the age of 3 months and they told me she did it herself. All they ever do is say they will write up an incident report. I wouldn't take my pet there to be watched! Terrible place for kids.
I gave stay and play daycare one star because you're not allowed negative ratings. The facility is dirty the workers are stressed and overworked and the kids run wild and come home dirty and scraped and bruised. I wouldn't even send the pet of someone I didn't like here

Noncompliance Area: In the 2nd bathroom located upstairs, one of the metal floor baseboard/ heater cover is separating from the wall in places and appears to have large gaps, creating pinching and cutting hazards. In the back cubby section of the Toddler section of the first-floor child care space, a small hole in the wood paneling was observed, big enough for children's fingers. The walkway near the gate serving as entrance/ egress from the outdoor child care space was observed to have a large piece of broken concrete near sunken ground, creating a tripping hazard. Correction Required: Floors, walls, ceilings and other surfaces, including the facility's outdoor play space surfaces shall be kept clean, in good repair and free from visible hazards. |
