Reviews
Sanita MacWilliams was the director at a daycare in Missouri were my grandkids went. They loved her. She was helpful, wanting the kids to learn, not just watching them. She was consistent, available and helpful in all aspects of their care. Striving for continuity of care from the kids home and giving sound advice as well. Miss her and the kids do too.
Santia took extra care to ensure the health and safety of my children as well as all others. She taught not just writing, reading and art but also social skills and emotional intelligence to my children. She was easy to get along with and discuss wins and concerns. She helped steer me in the right direction to have my son who is on the spectrum diagnosed and was a huge support during that rough time. We have remained in contact even after we left her care because she is just that wonderful of a care giver and director.
Closed out of the blue with no explanation. Left with no childcare. Us parents have now learned about serious allegations of drug use, verbal abuse, sleeping teachers/director leaving small children unattended. Grateful that my child is safe and away from these people. PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE.
Former employee. Don't recommend.
