My wife has been calling this facility to see if they have any openings and keeps being told to call back and then she finally called and got in touch with somebody and they said they have an opening and then she wanted to do a tour and they asked why would you have to tour This facility and she said she would like to know where her kids going and see what the place looks like and then asked her when she would be able to come in and fill out the paperwork and she said she would be available to do it any day after four because she works till four and they said that they can’t do it after four and asked her why it took her so long to Look for a place to take her kid and she said because she’s been told to keep calling back to see if there’s an opening and then she hung up on her. This is how they treat the parents of the children. I hate to see how they treat the children. I do not recommend anybody to go to this place and trust these people with their children.
All I can say is never trust people who work in this daycare. You never know what goes on behind closed doors, I worked here for 2 years and refused to send my child here because I knew she would not be treated the way children should be treated. Definitely do not recommend!
Directors here are W O N D E R F U L! This would be an exceptional place if the Halene wasn't allowed to answer the phone! Her telephone skills are subpar!
If policies need to be explained or clarified with parents, the DIRECTORS should be addressing them.
Ignorant staff, unbelievable "policies"...be sure to read their rules and regulations before sending your child here!
