*If you can't handle criticism from concerned parents as a director and you feel like you have to…read moredelete the honest review of this unprofessional daycare you run, maybe you need to find another profession, not a director of the childcare center* I'm writing this to let y'all know about this daycare. My kid goes to daycare there and is in the infant/toddler class. It's only been 8 and a half weeks since my kid started. I chose this daycare because it was closer to home, cheaper and people seemed nice. I learned that just because someone is nice and sweet doesn't mean they're good at doing their job. I started noticing little things because I give my kid a bath every single night and assess for new scars or marks. I've noticed numerous unexplained scratches and bruises on abnormal spots for kids in her age to get on her body (I'm a senior nursing school student who work and is wanting to specialize in OB and pediatrics) and every kids' dirty socks in her class just walking around the inside where they eat, sleep and play. So I pointed out the concerns I had about my childcare to Shari. When confronting to Shari with my issues in a respectful, reasonable manner (I got an advice about how I should approach the daycare with my issue from my friend's family who used to own a daycare before they retired to avoid offending them), all she did was making excuses and completely disregarding my concerns, which I lost it afterwards, despite the fact that I made it clear in writing that I'm not accusing anyone of doing the intentional use but just wishing that people there would pay more attention to kids to prevent further injuries. Kids can fall and hurt themselves all the time. I completely get it. But that's why adults are there to supervise which is what I'm paying them for. Their main job is to ensure kids' safety and to prevent the kids from hurting themselves or each other (kids don't know better in that age) which they continued to fail in doing their job. When I look at their webcam (which I always always do throughout the day), I've seen the employees there looking at their phones (sometimes over 20 minutes straight). Shari said she was the sub for that one day because I only provided her with the pictures of that one day but Ive seen them doing this multiple times. I genuinely have no intention to lie or exaggerate. Quite frankly, it doesn't matter how many times they did. I'm not paying them to look at their phone instead of watching my kid to ensure their safety and to prevent them from getting injured. Most people understand my frustration and concern when my kid comes home with all these marks and incident reports and people are paying attention to their phones instead of watching the kids except Shari. I don't know if she did so to cover her liability but I was shocked how unprofessional and insensitive the director's response was. I wanted to quit right away but I ended up notifying Shari that my kid will be quitting there in 2 weeks just like the handbook rule said and I just got a call from Shari at 7pm in the evening time out of no where and she told me today was the last day for my kid and her stuff will be out in front of the daycare tomorrow for me to pick up. In the student handbook, the only way to get immediate dis-enrollment is if my kid or a family member of a kid shows extreme behavior. Does that really make me a ridiculous parent with an extreme behavior If I had problems with my kid coming home with at least 6 incident reports within that 8 and a half week period of time along with numerous unexplained bruises and scratches? I thought you should be aware of this unprofessional, insensitive behavior that Shari, the director of this daycare, displayed. Don't complain about anything even if your kid comes home with unexplained bruises and scratches because you point out the problems, she will kick you out of the daycare. Also make sure to take pictures if your kid comes home with new scratches and bruises you didn't get explanations from them.

Thanks for all y'all do!

Horrible Daycare! I wouldn't recommend it to anyone! The director Grace is horrible and even the…read morestaff said I was right to take my baby out! I wish I could give ZERO stars!! My son was hit in the head with a hard object that left a bruise for MONTHS, definitely couldn't have been a approved daycare item! I was told that the person that hit my son was known for hitting and all the child's information was given to me on the incident report, which is not how things are done. After I pointed out these things, I was called in only to be told my son shouldn't come back. No Apology or anything! I was told, why would she stop changing a diaper to stop my child from being hit!? The worker never said she was changing a diaper and it was TWO teachers in the room.

My son started at this daycare as a 6 month old and it seemed pretty safe and quiet. Every few…read moremonths he would move up to an older classroom and every time he moved, I would get a little more concerned about this place. I finally removed him from the school and switched to a better school. He would run out and greet us when we walked through the door, followed by no one, and we are able to leave without anyone checking to see where he went. He rarely came home in the diapers that I sent with him. He rarely even had his face wiped since he moved up from Ms. Dottie's room. Ms. Debra, Ms. Stephanie, and Ms. Dottie would make sure he was changed and clean before we left the building. After he moved out of Ms. Dottie's class, this no longer seemed important. One of the teachers, Ms. Daphne told me my son looks like Freddy Krueger. No discipline was taken. I asked she not be around my son and she was in his classroom the next week. My son has sensitive skin and had his face broken out several times from them using baby wipes on his face to wipe instead of water and a paper towel. They kept using it after the doctor contacted them personally to quit using those. I had to leave work to bring him to the doctor several times because they were afraid he had hand-foot-and mouth when they just were blatantly ignoring the directions given by my pediatrician. I have gotten several statements saying that we owed an ungodly amount, just to go through my invoices and find that the director, Kathy, is unable to remember to post the payments on his account. I had to tell her to post a $310 payment 3 times and it only got posted the last time because I requested to stay on the phone until she officially posted it. I put in his two week notice and gave them his end date. I came in the last Monday ready to get the last week over with and was greeted with "I thought your last week was last week... there are no more diapers or wipes for your son" ... Either they failed to tell me he ran out or they gave his diapers away when I gave the two week notice. When I said this they proceeded to accuse me of lying about it so I took my son and walked out. My biggest regret so far in my son's life was not getting him out of there quicker.
