It funny that you have financial aid so kids to go to this school but if your late picking them up or God forbid an emergency they charge you a late fee yeah a late fee! To get the family kid I was charged 140 dollars and have no shame taking the money from you Highway robbery at it best. Struggling families and you have the nerve to No, the audacity to do that to families is beyond inrehencesble tragedy
This place is god awful. My daughter attended for a while and although I love the teachers. The owners are terrible people. More concerned with money they the children. I've single handily seen her disrespect other parents as well as her staff. The turnover is unreal. New people all the time and the classes are way too full.
I have a granddaughter that goes to this daycare ,and I am really happy with the way she has been learning so much.She has learned so much from the teachers,she can count and do her ABC.I seems like she learns a new song every time I see her.I would send my children to this daycare if i was looking for a place....The teachers and the stuff are all good with the students.Even if its not the teacher that has your child,most likly that teacher would know your childs name.Even the bus driver is so friendly with the little ones.I rate this daycare as a 5 because they are so good with the children
We work hard every day to provide the best environment for the children in our care. Our entire staff from administration to teachers, aides and bus drivers are caring and well qualified. Our policies reflect the best interest of the children in our classes, and we do everything within our capacity to address individual needs while keeping in mind the safety and well being of the whole group. When one specific child is presenting a physical threat to the other children in our care we feel we must address these behaviors in a manner that keeps all of the children safe. Very rarely this results in these disruptive children being removed from our program. As one may imagine, when these types of issues are being addressed with a child's parents, it at times can lead to some upset feelings. It's an extremely hard situation for all involved. We feel it is important for every child to find a child care situation that best fits the needs of their child. We are here to help!
This is a horrible place for children. When I expressed my concerns about the over crowded room my son was in the owner told me "this is a for- profit center" meaning thier bottom line is more important than the wellbeing of the children. When my son fell and broke is arm on thier playground it took them 3 hours to call me!
