    I am extremely disappointed with the care my son received at this daycare…read more My son has behavioral challenges, and I was the one who initiated discussions about creating a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) to help him succeed. During the meeting, I left feeling hopeful that we finally had a plan in place, especially since the daycare agreed to the strategies outlined. Unfortunately, once behaviors occurred, many of those agreed-upon interventions were not consistently implemented. Instead of following the plan, situations were often allowed to escalate until my son was ultimately terminated from the program. Throughout our time there, I frequently felt that my son was viewed as a problem rather than a child who needed support. I was expected to provide incentives and workbooks for staff to use because the daycare did not have appropriate resources available. I was regularly informed when my son injured another child, but there were multiple occasions when I was not informed about injuries my own child sustained. I was also concerned by some staff interactions. On one occasion, a teacher took my son's paper, crumpled it up, and threw it away in front of him, which only escalated an already difficult situation rather than helping to de-escalate it. There were too many children for the number of staff available, and I did not see evidence that staff had adequate training to support children with significant behavioral needs. It often felt as though any unexplained issue or injury involving another child was automatically assumed to be my son's fault. What was most frustrating was being told that the daycare could not accommodate my child after agreeing to a behavior plan that was never fully implemented. The final comment that they would "pray we find a placement" felt especially dismissive after months of struggling to get the agreed-upon support in place. Parents of children with behavioral or additional support needs should carefully consider whether this program is equipped to provide the accommodations and interventions it promises. While I understand that not every daycare can meet every child's needs, I expected honesty about those limitations from the beginning rather than assurances that support would be provided and then not consistently delivered.

    I was browsing local childcare reviews in hopes to find a good fit for my grandchild... a recent…read morenegative review caught my attention. Four Stars... because nobody is perfect. Parenting is a lifetime subscription, but we often enroll children in daycare with the unspoken (or it seems in this case with highly spoken) expectations of hoping trained staff will "straighten out" difficult behavior. While daycare can be a valuable environment for social growth, it is not a miracle cure for deep-seated behavioral issues. Expecting daycare workers to single-handedly transform a child's manners, attitude, or respect for authority is not only unrealistic--it's unfair to both the staff, the child in question, as well as the other children in the classroom. High-quality daycare centers provide structured routines, opportunities for social interaction, and exposure to early learning. Skilled caregivers can model positive behavior, encourage cooperation, and set boundaries. However, their influence is limited by time, context and capacity. A child spends only part of the day in daycare; the rest of their environment--especially at home--has a far greater impact on long-term behavior. Outsourcing children's behavioral challenges hoping it comes with a "90-day fix my kid" guarantee often comes with great disappointment. Teachers and staff are not miracle workers and are tasked to in helping a classroom of many children thrive in a happy, healthy and safe environment. Soft disciplinary tactics and gentle redirecting always sound better within intervention plans, but in reality, administrators have to take into account their teachers and the other children's safety and mental wellbeing. Sounds like this center took the welfare of their teachers and other families seriously and recognized that some cases call for more specialized and intensive behavioral care as well as parental support and guidance. Putting a childcare center on blast with a negative review doesn't seem to fill the void. Perhaps a more productive use of time would be to have the root causes of inappropriate behavior further explored or perhaps finding therapeutic parental support will help with caring forward. Best wishes and success to all. This is in response to a recent review. FULL DISCLOSURE I am not affiliated with JLU or know the parties involved. I don't claim to be in an expert; however, I am a retired preschool teacher and have experienced, across the gamut, the wild expectations of parents' vs the reality of limitations.

    Being a new parent is scary. You want to provide a safe environment for your child. Work gives…read moreyou six weeks (only one for the dad), and then you either have to hire a nanny, quit your job, pick a daycare, or hope Grammy can watch your new little prince. Unfortunately we are not wealthy and Grammy likes to golf. We chose Childtime on Dorsey Road. At first we were paranoid that they would not take care of our son as well as we could...WE WERE WRONG!! Ms. Amanda, Ms. Ann, Ms. Danielle, and Ms. Lucy are amazing. The longer we have had our son there, we know that they love him like their own. I cannot recommend this location any more than I have...If you need a daycare that may not have all the bells and whistles, but has a staff that is second to none, then this is the place for you and your family!! THANK YOU CHILDTIME - DORSEY ROAD!!
