Do not ever bring your kids here or work at this place. Firstly for the parents, I worked here 6 weeks and this place is an abusive mess. The kids are thrown around, screamed at, sat on, laid on, held until they bruise, gossiped about, and talked to extremely rudely. Starting as young as the toddler 1 room who has literally babies, I watched as the babies were pushed into their beds and scolded for not sleeping. The biting and kid-on-kid abuse is out of control. Students will bite and hit and kick each other all day. Management doesn't seem to care about stopping these behaviors at all. Students can bite 15 times a day and not be sent home. I was bitten twice and scratched until blood came out. Managers and owners should be lucky I didn't press charges that day. Where's the hazard pay for the abuse you face as an employee here? Two front desk women Ally and Melissa sit around all day doing whatever, I actually saw them on several occasions just scrolling Facebook and tiktok and gossiping with each other. They enforce a dress code but dress very inappropriately. Bras through their shirt, cleavage, and club dresses being worn by the two women who are supposed to be setting an example and taking care of your children for 12 hours a day. There is 0 training given to staff. I didn't get any training ever and was thrown into a room on my first day expecting to know how to run it ALONE for hours straight. Staff is so toxic. The front desk clique gossips non stop about staff, parents, and students. Manager Ally called parents "crazy" behind their back to me and teacher Tanya called another parent a "stripper" and "crazy" to me as well. I watched one staff member who already quit get punched in the face from a student so she decided to physically lay on the student to restrain him, and I watched another staff member smack a child's hand when he grabbed a toy. this is stuff I'm witnessing in my first weeks. My teachers Tanya taught me all sorts of abusive ways to treat the kids such as physical punishment, punitive punishment, verbal abuse and humiliation. Kids were called out in front of the class and yelled at by Tanya and Tanya yelled at them while they were pantless on the toilet. Don't expect the owner to ever be around as I met her probably only twice in my 6 weeks working here. One staff member spent one of her days, instead of managing her classroom, telling all the staff that she wanted to "beat me up". The manager Melissa KNEW THIS and continued to let this employee work all day until I asked her why I was being threatened at work? And the whole time she was angry because I was literally just following direction from my teacher Tanya in charge. While working here for 6 weeks I watched 2 people get fired and 4 people quit, and 2 more discussed how badly they wanted to quit too. The most highest turnover rate I've ever seen at any job. Managers can't manage the amount of staff, they can't manage the amount of kids. They can barely schedule correctly without making staff stay overtime 2-3 hours. Sometimes they even made staff work 12 hours with only 1 lunch when you're legally required 2. I never ever got my 2 legally required breaks. I was lucky to get 1 a day at this place. The managers don't care if you got it or not as they never bothered to check or ask. And as soon as this place is in trouble with the parents or the law (which I also watched happen) they're quick to blame a staff member who they will just easily fire or has already quit. The law had to get involved when a parent reported Childsplay Learning Center staff for spanking their kid and pushing him. I hope if you're a parent reading this you take your child elsewhere or pull your kid out of this place. At the end of the day, the abuse is on the managers hands too. Hold them accountable for the show they're running. My advice, train your staff, stop gossiping like you're 12, and have a consistent classroom instead of switching where staff is scheduled to be in every single day. No wonder this place can't even manage to get a 3 star rating on anything. read more
