It was a big disappointment. We had been talking to them since before they opened. I have one child and I never had to choose a day care before, so when I saw that they would have a new building, they were a franchise and the owner had other schools, I thought that it would be a good fit for us. I enrolled my daughter - that is less than 3 years old, who has never been to school before - and in her first morning she waved bye-bye and put her backpack in the back of her chair and set with the other kids. We were happy that she did not cry to stay there. 4-5 hours later, we were called to pick her up because she was inconsolable, so we did. She was clearly upset but that's expected since it's her first day in daycare. My husband felt something weird was happening. He mentioned he felt like he was given an "attitude" as if it was My daughters fault that she was upset. I brushed it off then. The next time she went to school, she stayed fine. She finished the week and we only had to pick her up once more but she was calm at this time. The following week, on Monday, she did great. On Tuesday we were called in because she would not sleep and was being disruptive. We picked her up. On Wednesday, the same thing happened and the owner came to talk to me that creative world was not the place for her.
They gave up on her in less than 2 weeks. I believe they are just looking at the numbers, there is a lot of demand so they don't want to be bothered to actually work on the kids. They are supposedly, the professionals and they did not show any pedagogic resources to try to overcome this situation. We visited a few other daycares and I noticed that some of them were more warm and caring. And all of them said that it takes a child 4 to 6 weeks to adapt and that they were mesmerized by what happened. So, I would definitely not recommend this school because they don't seem to care enough about each individual student and they are more focused on the bottom line. I have a friend that had other issues with them in relation to food and she is taking her kids out of there too. She also shares the same feeling that they just don't want to be bothered to do their job! read more
