This day care discriminates, will waste your time & the owner is SNOBBY. I thought this was going to be a great start for my children to start here. Was told a start date, my children meet the teachers and classroom I received paper work to finish filling out to be called hours later to tell me my children WERENT welcomed. No reason, no explanation NOTHING. They told me my children had a spot to start had us come in and then lied to my face and wasted our time. I am very unhappy at the owner for them to call me back after we leave to tell me my children aren’t welcome shows there is some type of discrimination! I highly suggest going to someone else. Her office assistant was very snobby as well.
If you are thinking about enrolling you children in Cradles to Krayons then I highly suggest against it. I was only there for a week and the staff and teachers seemed amazing my children loved it. The issue came with the owner. I would call to check on my kids each day. I noticed my baby came home the first day starving and thirsty. He was the most irritable I have ever seen my baby. And he is always a happiest baby. I would call in to check on them and I could hear my baby crying in the background because he didn’t like his food and wanted another kids food.
Weeks prior when we enrolled the boys i was told that there were state guidelines and my baby would be on baby food. Fine. No problem. But about two weeks ago my baby started completely refusing baby food and wanted what we were eating. So we moved to baby led weaning (soft foods cut up in small bite sized pieces) which is also doctor recommended. I spoke with the owners granddaughter and she got me the paperwork to fill out so I could bring him his own food so my child wasn’t starving anymore. The next morning, I brought my baby his own food. They told me at the door when I dropped my oldest off they would not be giving my baby the food because I did not have the paperwork completed. I said “that’s fine I plan on having it signed by lunch so I brought his food so he would have something to eat”. I got the paperwork faxed and signed immediately by his doctor and then was told “it needs to be an original copy filled out completely by the doctor” Ok fine. I went on my lunch break to feed my son his own food in my car. And I would go to the doctors office DURING A PANDEMIC and have his doctor fill out it completely so they would have an original copy because a fax from the doctor was not good enough.
I got a call at work in morning that the paperwork was messed up paperwork and Forrest was unable to eat their baby food because I dated it yesterday when I thought my son would be allowed to have food I packed him. I apologized and asked them to white it out and I would fix it until I got the original paperwork from the doctor. So I was planning on driving to the doctors office and have my doctor fill out this piece of paper so my son can eat food. I call back because I realize I need a blank form and the owner goes off and says “I really don’t think this is a good fit. I need to worry about my license and state regulations” and I say “ok I understand state regulations and I am more than willing to get the documents you need TO FEED MY CHILD so why are they not a good fit if I am trying to do everything I can?!”. How can an owner be so quick to say my child is not a good fit when I am trying to do what’s best for my son and follow these guidelines. Shouldn’t her concern be the same as mine and do everything in her power to make sure my child is happy, content and fed while in her care?!?!?!?
I think my mistake was when inquired about this daycare with someone at the beginning of the week when the boys started I was warned that this lady is all about a paycheck. Even double dipping at the beginning of the pandemic making parents pay while collecting unemployment. This owner clearly only cares about a paycheck and the fact that I would be bringing my own food for my son did not make her happy and she would lose federal money. That was my red flag and this is your red flag if you are considering this facility ???? ???? ????
