They have hired a teacher that was fired from ProjectScope for her inappropriate behavior with…read morechildren and parents. When I spoke my concerns about this, they told me her references are good they will keep her and that my child can be removed if I was not comfortable with her being her teacher. I asked for a compromise because my child has been there for 3 years no issues from me or her. When I told other staff what was wrong when they asked I expressed myself. The admin said I was loud and doing too much, I said I did not agree but sorry if they felt like it. Julie informed me she did not need her staff to know what was going on because some of them will not be able to separate their feelings from what they heard about that teacher. That afternoon I went to apologize to the teachers since Julie said I made staff uncomfortable. They asked what I was talking about and I stated that Julie said that I was loud and doing too much when saying I do not want Taylore to be my child's teacher. Granted B#tch did come out when I was talking about Taylore. They said I did not think you were loud or doing too much. I made a comment saying that when black people are upset white people tend to police their emotions and say they are doing too much. Fallon got upset and I said I am sorry I offended you. Fallon said I can't go around saying all you black people without it being a problem. I told her I can explain the difference if she would like, but she chose to walk away. My child was dismissed from daycare today because the all white admin chose to stick with their implicit biases. The admin staff will talk to you and have the same type of conversations on multiple occasions with others around, but when a white person gets upset they blame you even though teachers and other staff have had conversations like this with me before. When I asked what was different this time, they could not give me an answer and said that the relationship has been broken. They blame parents if they have concerns with a new hire who has been fired for physically punishing students at project scope, and she is in a classroom with younger children. If you are okay with this, then go to Silverleaf South. Julie and Kyle will act like they are down for the cause and to support black people and their struggles until it actually comes time to do so. Keep in mind Julie sleeps with black men and has black grandchildren. Do not send your kids of color here. They are part of the school to prison pipeline. They will not advocate for you as a parent or your children. It is all about business with them.

BEWARE!! So...I've never, ever had to deal with such unprofessional , un diplomatic people in my…read moreentire life. My grandson was kicked out without a notice for biting. Yet, he came home with bite marks on a daily. The classrooms have too many kids and it was causing him anxiety. I asked the director about it and she said the kids were biting him out of retaliation ..What?? What 2 year old knows how to retaliate??? This daycare is a joke. The director is a joke!! The only good thing that came out of this...now I get to watch my grandson and give him the care he deserves. They just didn't want to deal with him because there were too many kids in his class.

They kicked my children out right before my daughters preschool graduation for no reason, stating…read moreit was because they were not getting paid due to my "case" being closed and because i lost my job but child care stated differently, stated my case is open due to school and have it extended until i get the job again so they do not know what the daycare is talking about. I believe it was because they wanted more money and being greedy or it was something personal. My daughter did get her feelings hurt multiple times here, especially on this, as she did not get to be apart of her graduation. They made her feel like an outcast many of times, making her go to lower class rooms with babies that even her pediatrician stated was not right. Always having her separated from her friends, she will come home a lot sad and when they had her in a baby room she even started acting like a baby and blamed her behavior problems on anything else. When i would address issues they would talk to you like you do not know what you are talking about, like your below them.

The facility is very good and clean; overall, I recommend it.

Good luck canceling your membership. I tried to cancel my membership online (where it was created)…read moreand there was no way to do it. I tried canceling by phone but was told I had to cancel in person. I went in person but was told that since my wife set up the account she was the only one who could cancel it (all the membership charges were to my credit card with my name on it). My wife was working nights and could not easier make it in to cancel. Eventually she made it in to cancel and was informed that there is a 30 day noticed needed to cancel so we got charged for another month. I ended up paying for 6 extra months of membership from the time I started the cancellation process.

I was never addressed in a professional manner, I was always called girl or girlie which I found to be very belittling. My charges never added up and when I would ask for more detailed statements I never received anything. I asked for a meeting the first or second month of my children being enrolled here and they never scheduled one they just kept pushing it off to "talk to the teachers first" and just assumed I forgot about it. They talked down on me as if I was illiterate or beneath them. I witnessed and endured disrespect and lack of professionalism from a teacher and the owner on multiple occasions and the icing on the cake was being yelled at, and berated by the owner within earshot of every parent coming and going because they denied me the opportunity to speak with my child on the phone and I did not appreciate that. I've bit my tongue for months but no more of that. The price wasn't worth the experience, I'm so glad to be out of there.
