There is nothing good about this daycare. After searching for local centers that drop off and pick up from Elementary school, I found 1st Creative. My son is now in the first grade, but at the time of this incident he was in Kindergarten. On March 12th, 2018 an event occurred at this daycare that I cannot allow to happen to another parent. We are lucky that my son is still here with us. I dropped him off at his normal time, early in the morning, so that I could go to work. I also pick him up at the same time, every day, 4:45 PM. On this day, I entered the center, at my normal time, and my son was nowhere to be found. His backpack was not hanging in his cubby and I was told that they weren't sure if they had seen him. To put this into perspective, this daycare is not very large so there are not many rooms that a child can hide. We all looked in every room and bathroom, but he was nowhere to be found. I ran out to my car to grab my phone so I could call the Elementary school- thinking that maybe he was left there in error, even though I know that they would have called me directly if that was the case. As I am walking back inside from my car, I see my child with the DIRECTOR (who drives the bus to the schools) walking from the school bus into the facility. HE WAS LEFT ON THE SCHOOL BUS IN THE PARKING LOT! She proceeds to deny the that he was left on the bus, but his face was BLOOD red and he was half-awake. He had fallen asleep on the bus and was on it the entire time. The daycare returns from the Elementary school 3:30 PM. He was left asleep on the bus for over an hour! Thankfully, it was a cool day in March. I cannot bear imagine how this would have been different had it been a hot day in the middle of August. I left the center in complete shock. I called my mother and she proceeded to call the owner of the facility to get more information as to what happened. My mother, myself, my son, the director and the owner all decided to meet up at the facility later that evening to discuss the events of the day. The owner and the director begged me NOT to report the incident to the state. They were saying that it was a simple mistake. The director also stated that she didn't want to lose her job because of this one mistake. I told her that I will not report it to the state but that SHE must report it. I got home later that evening and the more I thought about it, the more anxious I became. I decided that I was going to call the local police to make sure this was properly recorded. I received a call on March 14th from the state stating that they were notified by the local police of the situation and that they had assigned a representative to the case who would be investigating the center. I did not hear anything from the state until April 25th. They advised that the case has been concluded, they agreed with my statements, and the center had been "addressed and handled". Now, here we are August 2018, the center is still open, the director is still employed (and driving the bus-I saw her on the road!) It just does not sit well with me. I want parents to be aware of this incident so they can place their child in this school knowing full well the events that occurred. I would not recommend this after school center. I would not send my child here. read more
