So I was debating and leaving a review I don't like leaving bad reviews. A little over a year ago I…read moreput my daughter into this day care she was one .. they didn't last one whole day with her when they gave up on her I understand that she was upset and crying a lot but she didn't even get a chance. Usually she should get at least a week of them trying to work around her or make her comfortable and I barely got a Day and every day after that I was called to pick her up not even an hour or two into the day. I was told that she wasn't ready to come back next year. Not even a week later I got her into another daycare. They actually gave her a week even before the week my daughter was happy there at the new daycare. I am only sharing this because I wouldn't want any other mother to go through what I had to go through, It wasn't pleasant.

I've gone back and forth about leaving a review. The daycare is an ok facility. While the building…read moreis dated, the rooms are clean. However, my issue was communication. Throughout the few months of my son being enrolled we could not truly get feedback on his progress or any changes in his routine. We always received a form that was partially filled out. What we were told about his day did not match what was written down. For example, the form said he was happy but they told us he cried all day. At one point, his teacher retired and we were never notified of the change to a new teacher. Once the new teacher arrived, my son cried daily begging us not to send him. The meals provided were mediocre. For a child with nut allergies, my was offered a cheese sandwich and cheese cubes for lunch when others had a PB&J. They did not let me bring him food into the facility for those days and said they ran out of meat. He came home starving. When I expressed my concerns they were pacified with no real changes. The final straw was when I walked up to his classroom door (always closed at pick up time) and I heard his teacher call my son annoying. While I understand all little kids can be annoying, it is not appropriate for a daycare teacher to call a child annoying and put them in time out. When I asked the teacher, she completely changed her tune. While I believe they try, I do not believe the quality of care is the best, ultimately leading us to removing our son. If you ha e other options- go there.

As a teacher up until last week (I gave my 2 weeks but was fired 4 days before my last day w no…read morenotice) the positives is it's a nice interior/exterior are clean for the most part. The teachers are absolutely wonderful, but get no back up from the administration or Owner when they express concerns, they are not "heard", "respected" nor "appreciated". These were my main complaints that led me leaving. From Feb. 3rd until the 14th I had expressed concerns on one of my toddlers not acting normal since a push from another student and he hit his face head first on the tile. When I would ask for someone to come check on him it would be forgotten for hours. I even went to the Owner with my concerns to be told that "it's a process." Finally on 2/14 after I had given notice the child had a seizure (he is 1 1/2 years old) and my assistant teacher called the owner and I text the director that his eyes rolled back and instead of calling 911 they came to my room to see that I took it upon myself to call 911 and was on the phone w them until they arrived. The child had a second seizure while the owner was in there and she did nothing, I held his head until he came to. I expressed my concerns on the child w the bad pushing habit because I had 3 non walkers and nothing was done. I told them he was going to hurt someone bad, and he did. This center is all about about image, money and appearance on the outside, when push comes to shove it's the teachers that are the glue. I expressed my concerns that if the safety issues and respect issues were corrected I would stay as I was there for the kids, I truly love them and wasn't there for a paycheck. (which by the way their tuition was through the roof and their pay for teachers and lead teachers is $10/hour) I wanted to go to work to experience these babies firsts words, walking, etc. I would go in at 6:30am and was suppose to get off at 3pm but never did. It was assumed I would stay until we were in ratio which would always be a couple hours later. This is why the children get attached to teachers and then the teachers leave. People that need the money can't afford to make $10/hr and when you have an owner calling to your room from sitting in her office watching cameras about where a teacher sits or how they clean (instead of waiting to see) is mind blowing for the pay. For instance same day I called 911 on the child having the seizure a couple hours passed and my director came in to tell me the owner said my counter needed to be cleaned off which we had already cleaned by that time. mind you we had just done a craft w glue and set them on the counter to dry literally a minute before the child seized and lunch also came during this time which my assistant was passing out the food while I was focused on the child and out of the owner coming to my room that's all she could worry about was that my counter was messy. This was a traumatic event for myself and assistant to try and keep our composure and that is what her take of the day is. Again, the teachers are excellent and try to do the best for the children, but when they have no one supporting them it's honestly just not worth it to stay. Also,, as looking through these reviews half are from employees..... so they are not accurate and it's how the rating has stayed higher than it should.

The director and assistant director are a joke and it seems that lies run rampant in this "Christian" environment.

Unfortunately, reviews are not always exciting to read when you must give a negative review. As a…read moreparent and a licensed healthcare provider, reading reviews helps parents like myself decide what is best for our children. On a positive note, at this facility, the VPK program is great, as the preschool has an excellent VPK teacher that goes above and beyond for her students' safety and academics. However, I am appalled by the lack of professionalism among some teachers and the director arguing with other staff members in front of students and health professionals. Safety should be the number one priority when parents drop off their children. The preschool has more students than teachers causes the teachers to need to comply with the teacher/children ratio. Also, another safety precaution is to alleviate having teachers have their own children in their classrooms; this is a conflict of interest. For example, I witnessed a teacher taking toys away from another student to give to her grandchild. Due to a lack of cameras in the classrooms, a lack of classroom management, and a lack of staff, this preschool will not be a priority or a recommended facility to enroll your little one.
