They seem to care more about money than your children make sure you pay on time even if they aren't available you better find a way, also don't believe them when they say they will get your children on their zooms, the office is good at it but they don't try that hard at the school age kid level Update after speaking to me through google review; We have spoke and this is my review of this company. Someone is not always there as we came in at 830am on the 4th to pay since paying over the phone was "complicated" no one was in the office. 2nd Update; another billing issue (imagine that) called to make my payment, glad they were able to, asked the amount which they gave me I agreed then paid. The next day they tell me that we owe them $200+ because they raised their fees. I called back to find out what was going on. To which Tracy said she just looked up last month which was not the new price. She proceeded to tell me that they sent out info that the prices went up over one and a half months ago, yet in previous conversation there's no remark about this? and no information was sent to me. This place is shady and after reading BBB reviews about an abuse case I am beginning to question my daughters scrapes & bruises (I was told that she was just playing rough) I ended payment and am running away.

I am combining my review so review/updates are all in one post…read more -10/19/2021: Today was my 2 year old daughter's 1st day at Dee's. I transparently informed Dee(the owner) about my daughter's developmental and verbal delays (she is Autistic). Dee assured me she had worked with children with delays in the past. At home we'd been working with an SLP & OT, who thought my daughter would benefit from exposure to her peers, as she hadn't been around other kids due to COVID. -When I dropped her off she was so happy! Dee wasn't there, her husband was. What he relayed about what I said/did or didn't say/do is beyond my control. I did remove my daughter from the 18 in tall table she hopped on. Less than 3 hours later, Dee text me asking if there was another way to communicate that climbing on the table was not okay. I called our occupational therapist we've been working with to see if she had suggestions. While on the phone, Dee text again telling me my daughter was no longer welcome at her facility because she crawled out of the pack and play provided for children still in cribs. I believe Ike cribs would be more suitable/safer for a childcare facility w/ 12 kids under 4 and a staff of 3-4. When I told our OT about the text I received, she remarked, 'A childcare professional should know it takes more than 3 hours for a child to adapt to new routines & expectations. It takes about 2 weeks! You need to get her out of that place!'" -Climbing is a superpower for development! It's a critical activity as climbing helps in developing gross motor skills, coordination, and balance. For toddlers, activities like climbing small structures or soft play areas are ideal. -I picked her up three hours after I had dropped her off. My daughter's shoes were on the doormat, and her bag was at the door. Dee said, "She is so busy, woof." I said nothing and gathered my daughter and her stuff. Dee said, "she just climbed right out of that playpen." I left without a word, irate that a "professional" was shaming my toddler for....being a toddler. -Later in a text, Dee explained that she did not have enough staff (her two daughters and her husband) for "one child could never be looked away from..." THREE HOURS. Dee has ZERO formal early childhood education, which might help her understand that a 2-year-old who has never been in a social situation/daycare because of a pandemic is unlikely to adapt to new social norms/rules immediately. Had she given my daughter a few days, she would have been able to follow the routine and expectations. -Dee Hubert kicked my autistic 2 year old out of her facility for doing activities that are normal and healthy for a 2 year old. I do NOT recommend this facility. I thought the hefty price tag (which is more than a private daycare in DuPont) was worth it because of the smaller size and play-based structure. My daughter doesn't bite, pinch, hit, kick or push and was likely busy because she was excited about all of the new stimuli. -Ms. Hubert had to post her response to my review of her business twice because her first response used my 2-year-old's full name, which is against the law. As a state-licensed child care facility owner, Ms. Hubert knows what COPPA laws are. She blatantly broke child internet safety laws. I asked Ms. Hubert via voicemail and text to take my minor child's name off the Internet. She ignored me, so I reported it to Yelp, who removed her response immediately. ****The most heartbreaking part of all of this is that in retaliation to my 1-star review, Ms. Hubert reported me to Child Protection Services (CPS) for abuse and neglect. She only reported me, not my husband, which indicates that Ms. Hubert reported me not out of legitimate concern but with lies that I could prove were untrue and would have won a lawsuit for Defamation. I was able to provide CPS with all correspondence between Ms. Hubert and myself, which proved that Ms. Hubert filed a deceitful, malicious, fraudulent report. This made me so angry because I had poured all my mental, emotional, and physical energy into my daughter and her delays. I was livid that Dee intentionally tied up CPS's time from children who legitimately needed their help. Dee knew what she was doing, and what we would have to go through. My oldest daughter sobbed begging me not to let them take her away from them. Dee knew that I would stay in the CPS system for 6 years. 12/4/21: Our caseworker called and told me that they had found no evidence of abuse or neglect. She said that her and her supervisor knew it was a fraudulent report the moment they received it, but by law they had to do an investigation. Then she asked me to be a Court Appointed Child Advocate. She had seen my integrity and selflessness and said they needed people like me.

I loved this place so much that when I moved from Spanaway to Tacoma, I continued to drive the kids back to Spanaway for childcare. They never cried at drop off, they never cried to come home from daycare. Never a complaint from my kids. Learning Adventures potty trained my kids, they were there to share all their firsts, the day is full of fun playing centered around learning. They maintain an excellent schedule, so the kids have a routine. They are very communicative regarding what they notice, how your child is doing, and if they need anything from you. You can't go wrong bringing your child here. They will be safe and happy.

We ended up bringing them back to Kreative Kidz, even though it meant going out of our way -- and it was absolutely worth it. The difference in our kids was immediate. They were happier, more comfortable, and excited to go again. Kreative Kidz is more than a daycare to us. The teachers genuinely care, and we wouldn't want our kids anywhere else.
