Terry Johnson kicked my son out because we are not Christian and after I made a complaint about another child hitting my child. They were even trying to turn my child against me. I don’t recommend this place and Justice will be HAD
I attempted to inquire about services when I was met with an absolute condescending, rude, disrespectful woman that advised she was the owner of two separate locations. Our conversation started off with her speaking to me as if I was incompetent, along with a long lecture as to why I should go through DSS to get the stipend (my guess is so these locations can charge an outrageous amount for daycare because they know the government will pay regardless of the price), and towards the end of the conversation I asked about security measures (only reason I asked is because of how awful the world we live in is getting and how people could careless about hurting children) and she responded so arrogantly and in a patronizing manner asking “what- what security measures; is he in trouble or something?” Fortunately for me, my parents raised a very classy, respectful, Godly woman- and instead of responding to her the way my flesh wanted me to, I decided to tell her that I retract my inquiry about her services and that our personalities would conflict. Not exactly sure why she met me with an attitude from the minute we started communicating but it was so unprofessional and uncalled for. Words can’t express the level of disgust I have, knowing someone like her owns a daycare; out of all things. I wouldn’t let this woman take care of my goats. My question to the unimaginably I’ll-mannered, vulgar owner: Why would I put the life of my child in the hands of your business/establishment when you can’t even be considerate and respectful to the mothers calling about services. Baby, do better. I sure hope you don’t treat those innocent babies as bad as you do adults. Shame on you ma’am.
I have had the best daycare experience here. My kids have been here for over 3 years.
The owner is not professional. She call herself a pastor but what I see and hear she's fake so I'm telling the next do not and I mean do not take your kids to those people bc they will treat your kids like animals and some of her workers are nothing but drunks. All the owner wants to do is be in people business so she can go tell the next person her DAY CARE IS NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY and so is the staff that she have there that's why so many folks don't want to go to that daycare (2 faced owner) TARRY JOHNSON
Excellent daycare
