As an update to the owner's comments,
1) To say that a name is unique to explain why teachers cannot spell it even though we have spelled it correctly on enrollment forms, labels, and even corrected it SEVERAL times on the sign in sheet and told teachers that they were spelling it incorrectly, is unacceptable. His name is sprawled across his lunchbox in LARGE letters which he brought every Friday! He has been at three daycares, and somehow yours is the only one with staff that has managed to misspell it, something that they struggled with even though, again, we pointed it out several times. The issue is not the "uniquness" of his name, which is actually a real name that has existed for generations. It's about attention to detail.
2) Posting updates regarding the unauthorized entry of a daycare facility in a local newspaper that not everyone reads/receives, and on a Facebook page that not all parents belong to in hopes that they will all read it, rather than directly communicating with parents via a letter is not the same thing. At all.
3) The code should have also been changed soon after it happened, especially if the suspect had not yet been apprehended and could therefore come back and try to gain entry again. It is not uncommon for centers to change access codes periodically without giving specific reasons. If you wanted to protect the privacy of the investigation, a simple letter letting parents know that the code was changing was all that was needed, without explicitly stating why.
4) To say that we never responded to attempts to meet with us is untrue. My husband tried several times to look for the owner to set up a meeting, both before and after school in the week after he offered, and he was not available. We even asked the various people in the front desk area when he would be available, and they responded that they were not sure. Soon after that we decided to start looking for a new facility and simply decided not to set up a meeting.
Also, thank you so much for spelling out my last name in your response to my first review. The purpose of abbreviating usernames on this site is specifically to create anonymity in responses, a point which has apparently completely passed you by. read more
