I would rate zero stars if I was able to. I asked the local moms about this place and had many mixed reviews, but unfortunately had to give this place a chance as to it being the only place in my area that opened early enough for my work schedule.
From the start this place was a joke, any time myself or my dad went to pick my daughter up there was never anyone up front to check ID or help with anything needed. My dad without knowing any teachers beforehand was able to walk in and take my daughter without being stopped, no ID check at all even though they have a "100% ID check policy" this should have been my first clue to get out but I was giving benefit of the doubt.
Then we started getting notices that my daughter was being bit, and then that she was biting as well. She had never done this at home before, so we knew this to be learned behavior. I asked how to address this situation and all the response I received from anyone was "they just do this at this age" so I let it go and just continued to receive more and more notices as the weeks went by.
I received a phone call one day in February, my daughter had been there since August of the previous year, asking what kind of milk she should be given even though I brought doctors notes in at the very start, stating she had an allergy to cows milk and she should be given soy. They had that on file but after 7 months of her being there, they weren't sure??
I started having instances where I'd pick my daughter up and her diaper was full of poop. The poop had been sitting on her skin so long that it was dried, and her skin was breaking down. Two times in one week. I called and talked to the girl on staff at the front desk and she said she would address it with the teachers responsible but she couldn't understand how that happened as they check every child every hour and sign next to their name saying they were changed, and my daughter had been signed off. I have pictures of how bad the diapers were. The following week we had two more instances so naturally I complained again, but that fourth instance my daughters diaper was so full and smelled so bad it was RIDICULOUS!!! At that point it seems as if it's personal against her or myself because there's just no way you miss the same kid 4 consecutive times.
After these complaints I received a phone call from the director saying a parent is pressing charges against the daycare due to all of the biting and because my child bit a few of those times I should withdraw her or they'd be investigating me too. I reminded her that I was told "kids just do it" every time I asked how to deal with the situation so how were they going to all of a sudden say I needed to withdraw her?
Fast forward a few weeks while I'm trying to find somewhere else for my daughter the biting is slowing down, and they all of a sudden suspend her for the week. I asked them to have the director call me and she never did. Now this is where everything closes because of Covid-19 so the last two weeks I kept my child home with me but my caseworker was making the effort to reach out and tell the director I'm keeping my child home for now but never got ahold of her. I finally got a call after 3 weeks and she tells me she expelled my two year old because of the biting, said she left me a message over the phone about it weeks ago and told me about it in person, which is incorrect she never said anything about it to me, and have no voicemail.
This place is completely unprofessional and I do not recommend, you'll definitely regret bringing your child here. read more
