Play 2 Learn LLC

I am writing this review as a former employee. I would highly suggest NOT to use Play2Learn. They have had 16 employees quit & just 4 months due to the abuse, neglect & conditions of the daycare. We all have seen how the children are being treated & reported it but everything is being covered up due to the owner being friends with someone from state. We have also expressed our concerns on Facebook daycare page but the now assistant director is deleting comments because she is a admin on the page. We all have screenshots of the neglect & abuse at the daycare, the assistant director has been fired multiple times for abuse. The employees still currently working there are not fit to work, the owner has said she wanted them out of the daycare & the employees have also tried looking for other jobs as well.

I’ve been with Play2Learn for years, and at this point I think our current teachers deserve some recognition.

There has been an unbelievable amount of negativity surrounding this daycare lately, and unfortunately some of that negativity has now turned toward the teachers who simply chose to stay, do their jobs, love these kids, and move forward. Apparently choosing not to participate in the drama makes you a target too.

What I see every day is a group of teachers who show up for these children, celebrate their accomplishments, comfort them when they’re upset, communicate with their families, and genuinely care about them. They should not have to defend themselves for choosing to continue working somewhere they love.

People are allowed to leave a workplace, and they’re allowed to have complaints about a former employer. All we ask is that you tell the truth. Being unhappy with someone doesn’t give you the right to rewrite history, exaggerate situations, or repeat rumors as facts. There is a difference between sharing your experience and trying to damage people because they chose to move forward without you, and the people who stayed are also allowed to have their own experiences and opinions without being attacked because their story doesn’t match someone else’s.

Supporting Play2Learn does not make someone a “puppet.” Having a positive experience does not make someone dishonest. And refusing to participate in someone else’s fight does not make someone a coward.

I’m incredibly proud of the teachers who continue walking through our doors and putting the children first despite all the noise surrounding them. Their actions every single day speak much louder to me than anything being said online.

At some point, moving forward has to actually mean moving forward.

My daughter has attended Play2Learn for well over 2 years. She has never had any accidents or incident reports in all of the time she has been there. She loves her teacher and talks about her and her friends every day when we come home. I have never had to question if she was loved or cared for. On the other hand i have also worked there for 3 years. In the 3 years i have never come across a group of past workers whose main concern is not the children but themselves. To the point they harass our current parents daily & any future employees or future children. Leanne Gibson has not worked for us since May. Brooklyn Clem since April. Sheeneka Frick since sometime in the summer. I’m just getting really tired of them 3 bullying my daughters daycare & my place of work. When i love my job and put every ounce of my being and my love into my daycare babies. I treat them as if they were my own. Thats all.

I've always believed in giving people a chance and forming opinions based on first hand experiences. For a long time I saw nothing but negativity towards my childs daycare and truly believed it was unfounded. I cannot remove my child and walk away from this daycare without issuing a stern warning to other parents. The director and her assistant are not the people they portray themselves to be to our faces at pick ups and drop offs. I'm sick over the fact that I trusted the most precious thing I have to these careless, malicious, and corrupt individuals. I urge every parent to please pay attention and you will begin to notice things that will make you uneasy, and when you do act on it. I should've trusted my gut months ago when all the teachers I loved walked out. I beat myself up for second guessing my intuition and continuing to attend play 2 learn daycare. Please please get your children out of this extremely unhealthy environment. My child has flourished innthe short time we've been in a new center. I wish I would've acted sooner.

Zero stars if I could….horrible employees and even worse management. I could sit here and write a paragraph but I won’t, all I will say is if you’re thinking of bringing your kids here, don’t, if you’re thinking of working here, also don’t.

I pulled my kids from here after my oldest mentioned that she was getting screamed at by teachers and watching KPop Demon Hunters, amd not getting enought to eat (most of which I had also noticed upon pick up and drop off) and the assistant director (Erin) saying "you listen to me because I'm the boss." Once I notified the director (Natalie) that I was pulling them due to multiple state write-ups and open DCS cases, she didn't respond. They don't care about the kids, just a paycheck amd cut corners where they can.

If I could give this place 0 stars, I sure would. I’m thankful my child had a place to attend but it’s definitely not worth the headache. My child was not given crucial medication daily. Staff will neglect to inform you of any injuries or illnesses your child has. Staff has also been known to “fake” fevers in children so they would be sent home and not allowed back for at least 24hrs. My child was one of those who was constantly sent home when they didn’t have a fever, causing me to lose jobs for attendance. I have personally witnessed staff yelling at children, mine included. I have seen staff yank children up by their arms and drag them across the room, and I have seen children just not being watched at all. Kids have been left out on the playground and forgotten about, and kids have gotten out the doors with staff who didn’t seem to have a care in the world. My hope is to save families from this place because I wouldn’t even recommend to my worst enemy. The owner will gaslight you when you bring up concerns, make fun of you behind your back when you do bring up concerns, and she likes to wait until 3 days before state arrives to make you fill out paperwork and keep hounding you about it, threatening your child’s spot at the daycare. This daycare also employs someone who likes to brag about hurting children. Natalie will do everything she possibly can to butter you up enough to keep your money. It’s completely toxic and narcissistic.

A completely toxic environment for everybody. Children are left in the hands of teachers that are highly unqualified or just shouldn't be around children solely for the purpose of not being short staffed. The director wants to make sure she gets lots of time off of work. That is more important than who she leaves your children with. Nutrition is a joke. Saving a buck is definitely a priority over letting your children get a second piece of ham and not be starving when they lay down for nap. The air is not allowed to be turned down in the summer. Children spend their days sweaty and with red faces. If teachers even think about asking to turn it down they get yelled at by the director. Any interaction with the director is typically hostile because she doesn't want to be bothered. Multiple staff have left in the last 3 months because of the toxic/abusive work environment that has been created and sustained by the director. I would suggest thinking twice before taking you children here.

I’d give zero stars if I could. Owner is terrible. Unorganized and rude. She leaves several times a day to run errands, like to go tanning, talks down to employees, yells at the children. Can’t keep employees because of the toxic environment. No training offered, unfair expectations, favoritism for owners nephew, who is terrible. Kids are able to run out the door, employees have to chase them down. One kids stabbed another with a pencil, with no repercussions. It’s insane and unsafe for children and staff!

Looking thru the reviews of my child's daycare frustrated me.
quickly realizing I need to start bragging and leaving positive reviews when i experience them. everyone is quick to talk on the negatives, but not enough people give the positives on places.

Ive never had a problem with my childs daycare. they really look out for them and notice things involving their peers that i dont get to see when we are home. i work and have employees under my management and the director is probably having the same problem i am, people dont want to work. or think they can get a full paycheck by doing next to nothing. i know those teachers do more than just "play with kids" all day. they work as hard as moms do. and im sure some young people that apply at a daycare are not expecting the work load that is required of them.
the ones in my childs classroom have their hands full, and they still have a smile on their face and treat my child as if they were their own.

no complaints

5 stars! The teachers are amazing with my son. They really prepared him for the entrance test that he had to take to get into kindergarten. Teachers are very honest, my son plays rough outside and when he gets a scratch or a mark from outside they are honest with me when they don't know exactly what happened, I would rather them be honest with me than to create a story like our last daycare did. The director doesn't always answer my call when I called but that was because she was being involved in the classrooms which I love! She always called me back in a timely manner. Or if it was an emergency they have an app you can reach the teacher immediately thru a message. Overall we love this daycare! we have been here since it opened in 2020. there were a couple teachers that weren't the best, but they have since left and for the last year or more, the group of ladies that work there now are just the best. The new assistant director is such a sweetheart and is very informative and can answer my questions if the director is not available (I can be categorized as a helicopter mom)

overall i don't have any complainants and I had to take a minute to brag

Started my daughter in daycare for the first time, the owner was so understanding on putting my mind at ease. I get great communication with the teachers thru the app, pictures updated thru out the day. And my daughter comes home telling me how much fun her day was, and she does during the day and what they learned. They even did a Easter egg hunt and she loved it.

Not sure if the other reviews even have the right daycare. But I’ve had nothing but great experiences here. My daughter got a scratch on her arm and I was called after it happened and they took care of it as if I was there with cleaning it, and putting a bandaid on it. It was nothing serious. But they took great care of her. You can tell the owner is a mom herself! Totally recommend

Not even 1 star. I am so disappointed how my son was hurt and we were never given an answer as to what happened to him. The director is so unprofessional and didn’t offer to view the cameras didn’t offer to have us come in and talk to her. She didn’t care about my sons safety. I am so disgusted that I trusted this place for years. Now I know why my son cried every day when he would get home. He was traumatized. He was punished. He was abused and neglected. This place needs to be shut down. I have never experienced such a hateful and awful situation and I have other kids who have been through other daycares and never experienced this ever. This place is awful. Read the other reviews from previous employees. It’s true. SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN.

Most of the employees at this facility were not fired. Most of us quit because of the unprofessional director. Most of us have witnessed things that would get that place shut down so fast. Most of the employees treated those kids with nothing but love and kindness. You’ll never know how the director actually is until you’re working inside this facility closely with her. Most of these parents would be furious with how they “discipline” those kids. Yelling, restricting them into high chairs, crossing the childs arms so they cant move, putting their legs over the child so they cant move. The director wouldnt let us tell parent’s if there kids got hurt unless it left a mark because she didnt want to deal with the parents. She talks badly about her employees to other employees. Talking badly about the parents whose children attend this daycare. So next time you wonder why she has so many employees come and go think about that. 

My Grandchildren ages 3 and 4 have attended this daycare over 1 1/2 years. My daughter moved here from Florida and is very happy with this daycare. Her children are happy and always eager to go every morning. It is my understanding that the bad reviews are from a couple of disgruntled former fired employees trying to get the daycare shut down. The owner/director is extremely nice and keeps the parents up to date on everything by email.

Never met a director that cares more about the kids than this one. The current staff are so sweet and caring towards my child. From my knowledge the recent bad reviews come from former disgruntled employees who never seemed too warm towards the children,from what I saw. Would highly recommend to anybody.

I’m a former employee and current parent.
Seems the last 4-reviews are from former employees that quit or were fired.

This daycare has never trapped kids in highchairs, screamed at kids in their face. I’ve known the owner for 12 years and she’s probably the most respectful of these kids that I’ve ever seen in a director. She makes sure every child is treated with respect and that they know they are loved. She takes pride in her daycare 100%
She had a in-home daycare for 20 years.

Yes turn over is crazy everywhere. People don’t like that they have to work for their pay. Being in a daycare is more than just sitting and playing. It’s a lot like being a mom and juggling mandatory cleaning, changing diapers, lesson plans, teacher and also trying to have fun with learning thru play. And people come to work at a daycare thinking that they just get to sit on the floor and play and collect a paycheck. That’s why they didn’t last long.

My daughter has been going to Play2Learn for almost 3 years and I wouldn’t send her anywhere else because of the director. I worked there for just shy of 2 years. Left because I got a job that went with my degree.

I would recommend Play2Learn LLC to everyone.

DO NOT take your kids here. Director is extremely unprofessional. Classrooms are almost always over ratio. Treats employees like crap. And they do a lot of stuff that goes against state regulations.

Terrible place. The children are trapped in high chairs, and there’s never been a consistent teacher in the classroom. This place is awful, and it needs to be shut down.

I am very picky when choosing childcare. With this being my second one to go through the daycare world, I am extremely grateful coming across Play2learn. The Director is hands on in everything she does. There is open communication with any questions you may have and she has worked hard on making her building a beautiful facility. My son has been here from age 4 months to currently 16 months old. They follow your instructions. My son had medical feeding issues and I left daily knowing they heard me every day. He excels with his friends and through play. We hope to continue our partnership with Play2learn until he goes off to elm school.
