DO NOT send your child here. This daycare is completely unsafe, dishonest, and poorly run.
A teacher, Kendra Davis, STOLE my son’s Nintendo Switch, then tried to cover it up by accusing my child of stealing her daughter’s Switch and bringing it back. That is not only a lie — it’s a disturbing attempt to blame a child for something an adult clearly did.
When I reported this to the director, Margarita, she lied as well, claiming the staff member never took it home — even though I had already been told otherwise. No one has taken responsibility, and no effort has been made to return my son’s stolen property. They are protecting a thief and gaslighting parents in the process.
On top of that, this daycare is constantly out of ratio, kids are left in front of TVs and tablets all day, and there is zero real structure or enrichment. They are just collecting checks while giving the bare minimum — or less.
This place is a danger to children, period. I’ve filed a police report and reported them to the state licensing board. I highly recommend that any parent considering this place look elsewhere — and for current parents: keep a close eye on your child’s belongings, because the staff cannot be trusted.
