DO NOT GO HERE. We…read morestarted sending my daughter here a few months before our son was born because the daycare she was at, didn't accept infants so we had to move. We've had multiple problems since she started and many more once my son started going at 6 weeks old. There's been multiple occasions where the notes of her day aren't correct. (They use an app called KangarooTime to update parents throughout the day). There was one day she peed her pants so bad her SHOES were soaked. The notes said she successfully went potty all day. We were told they upload pictures of the kids daily, there have been periods of 2+ weeks with no pictures updated, despite me asking for them. The daily notes on the app look copy and pasted from day to day and didn't seem like they were specific to my child. She never comes home with any artwork. She also seems like she has regressed in speech and writing. My son has had many more issues than we've had with my daughter. They don't rinse out the bottles you bring in, but don't tell you that. So I discovered a few bottles with day old breast milk in them and they REEKED. They posted pictures of my son with another kids pacifier in his mouth! I'm a pretty laid back mom but I was fit to be tied. Swaddling also helps his colic but since we mentioned this, he is swaddled almost all day every day. It seems like he is always in a bouncer seat and rarely held or being played with. I realize he's the youngest in the room and it's hard to "play" with a 6 week old, but there is no excuse for him being in bouncer seat most of the day. The app is also pretty worthless. They use KangarooTime. If you send a message to the teachers or directors on there, they don't even bother to respond. There's an additional charge to pay the weekly daycare fee through the app, something no one mentioned beforehand. We can not get the kids out of this daycare fast enough. But you have to give a 2 week notice. Thankfully, our last day is Friday and I couldn't be happier. It's been a miserable experience.

Their staff are not required to wear masks, even the infant and toddler rooms. This is the email I sent and as a result, we were removed for: "For a second time (in two months), due to actions of your staff, my child's classroom is closed. As your staff continues to test positive for COVID, my husband and I have to take off from work. We placed Amari in daycare because we have jobs. It doesn't make much sense to send her to daycare when we continue to need to stay home with her. What's worse is we are expected to pay full tuition on weeks she is not there full time. Where is the logic? I am home changing diapers, preparing food, keeping her occupied and losing money from my place of work while I continue to fund yours for doing NOTHING. I expect that there will be some reimbursement for parents who are losing time and money as a result of your reckless staff. Either our tuition should be prorated for such weeks or additional vacation days should be given. I was told that there would be a conversation with the owner, however, after almost two years in a pandemic, there should be something in place. If you're not going to ensure our babies are safe, you could at least stop robbing us at the same time."

Long story short, I am on active duty and mom is a disabled vet herself with 2 kids and we were…read moreinvolved in a very serious car accident (vehicle rolled multiple times type serious) and mom was severely injured from it (paralyzed). My daughter suffers from serious anxiety brought on from the accident (mind you she was three when it occurred) and had just turned 4 when we enrolled her at this daycare. During this time her anxiety finally started surfacing and as a fresh 4 year old she doesn't know how to handle it and it comes out as to be expected for a 4 year old. I don't say that to be used as an excuse for her behavior but it at least gives understanding as to why she began acting out.m, she was being triggered and didn't know how to handle those triggers. As good parents should, we informed them that she is suffering from anxiety once we understood what was going on and we told them we are trying to find ways to help her. To clarify, before the anxiety, my daughter was never a problem child in daycare, never been called about being upset, mean, or violent towards any other child or staff. The last straw for me was a situation I had no control over whatsoever. After a couple of weeks of trying to work with them to help find a way to get my daughter situated because they kept making comments like, "maybe this isn't the right daycare for your daughter," I pretty much was asking them to help us figure out something before you try and kick my daughter out because kicking her out isn't the answer nor is expecting her to transition to a third day care within 6 months going to help the matter. During this time mom was out of town up in Cleveland getting fitted for her power chair when one morning she had a significant health scare that would hospitalize her for a month, the same morning I was supposed to have a meeting with the staff to discuss options for my daughter. So I had to get on the road that morning to go see her and when I dropped my daughter off I explained to them what had happened and her grandparents would be picking her up and asked them to revisit the meeting when I returned and to hold off on doing anything with my daughter (such as kicking her out). That same morning driving up to Cleveland I get a call from my mother-in-law that they were kicking her out of daycare!!! Can you say furious! When I returned I went straight to the daycare to find out what happened and they were like we can't handle her and will not tolerate her acting out and being violent with staff. So I asked instead of asking us to keep her home for s few days or something to try and figure how to help her you decided to kick her out while we were dealing with my wife's health after her brain essentially shut down! They tried to offer some "daycare" program that focuses on kids with behavioral problems and that if she passes their program they'll be willing to take her back. I the asked do they not have staff like other daycares that whose sole purpose is to help with kids in need and the simple answer was no. I called this place up that they offered and guess what, they don't accept my insurance and when I asked how much do they charge, it is a $600 per day program!!! So not only did they kick my daughter out at the most inopportune time, but they don't even know the requirements of the place they recommend, and now my daughter has nowhere to go and I can't go to work! This all happened February of 2023, we couldn't find and get our daughter back into a daycare until that May!! My daughter was and is dealing with something that even grown adults struggle with controlling and this is how they handled it. This is why I give this daycare the rating I did and it needs to be known that if your child has special needs that may cause a problem or disturbance, do not expect them to go the extra mile to try and help figure out a way to make it easier on everyone. Due to allotted length I had to trim up a lot but hopefully you get the picture.
