Absolutely the best daycare at an affordable rate. My grandson attends and the team of staff is amazing. They are very attentive and respectful. Ms. Timeka in the baby room is the best. She really cares for her babies. The baby's are allowed to play and get a lot of floor time. I get pictures all the time and I have no reservations about leaving my g baby there. read more

As daycares go, this one falls into not the top category (McPhaul's etc) nor into the bottom category (I don't know ...) but kind of a middle category. Here are the problems: The principal and corporate management have a set of policies, but the teachers do NOT follow them always. Eg my baby was supposed to have her own crib and it's been 3 weeks - she still doesn't have one. They keep putting her in one used by other babies. We're paying a f/t rate but we cant get what was promised us when we arrived. The teacher is beginning to dislike having me around because I keep wanting to hold them to just the minimum policies they claim to have. When I go, I generally find a couple of babies crying for attention, and they do not have the time to get to them. Today a 2-month old cried for milk for a while, the teacher put a pacifier in her mouth, and attended to other babies. They NEED more teachers than the absolute minimum 1:6. I've seen babies go for long periods without having their snot wiped. I've watched the teachers for a few teachers and very very rarely do they get a chance for any quality play time. Well let alone play time, the babies are lucky if the teachers get to feed them before a certain period of time has passed. I get sad every time I drop my baby off. But if you can't afford the top, this will do. They're not as terrible as some, but the teachers' performance doesn't match what the principal claims or what the corporate organization's rules are. They told me they do fun things with the babies but I havent seen it, except a very very rare occasion. The teacher in the baby room sometimes gets so stressed out she loses it a bit. The policy is to have no toddlers in there - and they keep going in, because the toddler teachers sometimes send in younger toddlers. The toddlers are big, active, and take up the teachers' attention away from the babies. The teacher even kept her 3-4 year old in there all day one day. He threw a tantrum, fussed, and she yelled at him for a long time --- all the while neglecting the babies. As soon as I have an income, I hope to move my baby up to Kids r Kids or something better. I have to talk to them every day about something or the other, and I'm sick of it. BTW they don't keep sick babies away. Several of the staff are pretty rude or curt. the principal doesn't communicate properly with her staff. Often I go in and they dont have enough people in the room. Sometimes I have to stay for 15-20 minutes at a time because they dont have time to watch my baby. Then they start giving me outright hints that I need to leave. I've also found that my baby on her return home is starving. They claim she refuses to eat. If she's there for 6 hours, and you HAVE tried to feed her more than once, there's no way she'll refuse if she is hungry - and she IS hungry at that point. One day she spent 6 hours there - and had only 2 oz of formula and 2 jars of food. She's a baby with a big appetite. She was starving when she returned. It broke my heart. Keep in mind, this review is about the baby category. Since I dont have a toddler, I cant say about them. But I have seen the teachers speak harshly and roughly to the toddlers. I wouldnt put my kid here if I could afford better. read more

My kids have been attending childcare network now for about a month. They cried every morning and I thought it was simply because they had to learn to adjust to the new environment. Several times have I heard Marie (my son's teacher) talking to the children in an aggressive tone. One day last week when I picked my kids up, my son's pants were pulled up but his butt crack was showing. When I unzipped his pants I noticed his pull-up wasn't pulled up and she said he used the potty and didn't pull them up all the way. Then on Monday a littler girl in the class was using the potty and she yelled at her for washing her hands too slow. I should've listened to my kids when they told me they didn't like it there but I wanted them to be around other kids and get used to going to school. Tonight when I picked them up, I stood quietly in the hallway as I signed them out and heard her telling the other teachers from the other classes that kids like mine need their a**es whooped. I could hear my baby girl crying and she yelled at her to sit down and for her brother to be quiet and "sit down some where". I walked in the classroom to see four or five teachers all in the same room, walking distance from my little girl who had a face full of streaming tears which told me she had been crying for a while. I didn't say a word because I knew how emotional I can get about my kids. I removed my kids immediately. When we got to the car I noticed my son's shirt was soak n wet. I will go and get their things in the morning and withdraw my kids from childcare network. I will also be reporting her behavior to the director. read more
