Do NOT recommend this daycare, the owner is money-hungry and doesn't care about kids. She hardly pays employees and constantly calls parents stupid, crazy, insane, etc if they ask for anything or do anything she doesn't like (Even if it's just asking for you to check your baby's temperature every other hour). There are no benefits to working there, and you risk being belittled because you don't dress or look like the owners/managers. Kids being bit and parents being gaslit about it NOT happening at daycare when it did. Management lies constantly about fevers/checking if kids are actually sick or not. They The owner and her family all drive brand-new Teslas and BMWs while employees make minimum wage, no PTO, and no sick pay. You cannot make a living wage working for them as employees live paycheck to paycheck while she makes almost $2 million a year because she charges parents nearly $1,000/month PER CHILD. There is no homemade food, all premade or canned, no new toys, nothing but a facade of lies so she can make more money. She DOES and WILL call you "f****** stupid" or belittle you behind your back regardless if you work for her or if your child goes there. She has forged medical documents and has lied constantly about it and claims the MO DESE Board is full of "lying idiots". Parents DO NOT take your children here, find a different daycare where the owners actually care about your little ones. SHE ONLY WANTS YOUR MONEY, she doesn't care about you or your child(ren), only money and it's disgusting. Look her daycare up on MO's Daycare Violations and look for yourself, she NEEDS to be shut down.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

2 minutes ago NEW Hands down, greediest management of any daycare around. Gina is overly dramatic, exaggerates information that conflicts with what other workers there say, and thrives off her power trip by sending your child home for ridiculous reasons. Not only is this a ripoff, but it puts you in a huge bind and Gina knows it. I’ve actually had one of the employees leave me a message saying that she was concerned for her safety because my 4-year old child threw a tantrum. Am I missing something? Is there such thing as perfect children? What a bunch of wackos!

IF I COULD GIVE THIS PLACE A NEGATIVE 5 I WOULD! The smile you see on the face of REGINA when you meet her is a front(fake) I BEG YOU! do. not. take. your. child. here. I don’t have the time to express all of the negative things i’ve experienced at her facility. The communication, the unprofessionalism, the attitude, her staff are like slaves. I cannot make this up!

I have toured this provider's facility, but have not used its services

Provided peanuts (Snickers) to a child with a peanut allergy. Constantly violating State Licensing. DO YOU RESEARCH BEFORE YOU TRUST YOUR CHILDREN WITH THIS FRAUD. Gina acts like she cares about your kids but it’s all superficial. She is a worthless POS.
