My child was enrolled at this daycare at 6 weeks old. We enjoyed the daycare workers and they seemed pretty fond of my child. But we ran into a couple issues at this daycare: 1) 2 weeks in, I decided to stop in and check on my child on my lunch break. My child was sleep in the crib but inside I found 2 or 3 gnats. 2) Allegedly, my child was PURPOSELY left on the ground to cry so that he could throw up and be sent home. In my mind this is child abuse, picturing my kid crying little lungs out and they just starring at my kid until he throws up. We have contacted DCF to do an investigations into this allegation. But he has been removed from the school because there is no longer a trusting relationship. Plus the turn over is pretty high, always new teachers in the rooms. I would not recommend this daycare. read more

Worst and very dangerous place to keep your child. I recently pulled my child out on Feb19 2021 Cindy is the worse. The first time I met her you can tell she's a Bitchy person and has Avery nasty attitude. She's all fake smiles all around. So let me begin. My child has been there for maybe 1 months and a half The first 2 weeks my child kept coming home dirty and when I say dirty I mean very dirty. Dried food and sauce all over his face and hair. Became to the point I had to address this to Cindy. Which she brought to her staffs attention. And it was corrected. But then a few weeks later my child got injured. He came home with a black eye. Their excuse for it was he climbed and fell and jammed a toy into his eye. I understand children make accidents but why would you have something there for an infant to climb on when they are new walkers in that room. 1st mistake as making the environment baby friendly. Then a few days later he falls and has a mark on his head. Of course now Cindy blames my child for him being a wobbly walker. But let me say this first he's 11 months. My kid was walking at 8 months. He never falls on my watch. Then he falls again and has a mark on his forehead she tells me. Again blames him and says he's a new walker. Then a week after that I get a call he needs to go to the emergency cause now he has a gash in his chin. Story they claim , he was walking with a toy and falls and face plant into the ground but toy never hit him. But weird because the cut on his chin is a perfect line. Only falling on an edge counter or sowmthing like that would result in that type of injury. Doctor tells me their story is false and it's obvious if you seen the injury for yourself. And of course she blames my child. And I was already upset with their cameras not working that same day he got injured. And to top it off. I even asked for assistance on their app. They always are quick to reply. But for this odd reason they ignore my request for camera assistance. And also when it had a malfunction it tells you to contact them. So I did. But no answer. A week now goes by they message me on the same app ignore my question a week ago, but then had the nerve to ask me questions about their update shows for my child. They are very quick to save their own asses for insurance policies for their business. But has no care for children. So I confronted them. Cindy had the nerves to call me immediately after I confronted them on the chat. And crazy thing is she also notifies me my son got his cheek bruised cause he fell again. Now this makes it 5 times like what the fuck! And then she has the nerves to argue with me and even tries to tell me my child is safe on their watch. Like she must be a fucking idiot. And she yelled at me and told me to take my kid else where. Which I did. Don't do this to yourself or your child. Find another daycare. I don't even know how they haven't been shut down. Very ridiculous and I'm Just glad my child is alive. read more

I have five children all of which have been in a daycare at some point in their lives and my experience with La Petite Windhorst (#7400) has been by far the worst that I've ever encountered. My two youngest children (currently 3mth and 3yr) had only been enrolled at LaPetite approximately two (2) months and every week it seemed that there was an act of negligence on the staff's behalf. The saying "A school is only as good as its leader" could not be more of an accurate statement. The leadership (i.e. director, Sharon Noah and assistant director, Jaki Avles ) of this facility are unprofessional, unknowledgeable, and incompetent in their ability to delegate and properly train their staff. Hence, the reason their turnover rate is absurdly high and children are being neglected under their care. The following are just a few examples of some of the negligence that my children experienced during their time at La Petite Windhorst (#7400): My newborn at 7 weeks was provided with someone else's breast milk. Although, her bottles were clearly labeled with her name and the contents (and also color coded white indicating formula) a very careless employee by the name of Jessica Bruwelheide still managed to feed my daughter someone else's bodily fluids. This young lady is still working with the infants and received no repercussion for her actions that I'm aware of. In addition, the directors failed to inform the parent of whom the breastmilk belonged to at the time of the incident instead they sent an empty bottle home with that parent's child as if the bottle was drunken by her baby. My 3 year old has severe peanut and tree nut allergies. The directors and teacher (upon her enrollment) were all made aware of this and an epipen was provided to them, which was kept in the front office in Jaki Avles, Asst. Director's desk drawer but I was told that the teacher would have it in their possession. Nonetheless, I was provided with a Precious status (updates on the children progress throughout the day, that's never up to date might I add) from Kymona Love, my daughter's teacher at the time, that included a picture of my daughter holding a handful of acorns (the tree nut that I specifically told them she should not be handling from day one). I immediately contacted the school and spoke with Jaki Avles. She assured me that the teacher was aware of my daughter's allergies but when I followed-up with the teacher days later she unintentionally mentioned she was not made aware of my daughters allergies upon coming into the class as a new teacher. Shortly, after that another incident occurred where my daughter had a huge welt across her forehead and a bruise in between her eye and nose, which I took pictures of once I arrived to the daycare. I was not notified or provided with an incident report therefore, I began to ask questions first to my daughter and then to the staff in which no one was able to provide me with an answer of what happened to my daughter's face. It was a situation where one teacher passed it off to the next, and that teacher didn't know what happened so she passed it off to the next and so forth and so on. Nonetheless, the amount of times that I heard "I don't know what happened" from the mouths of these so called caregivers is completely unacceptable. Which brings me to the most recent incident that was the straw that broke the camel's back. I've arrived to pick up my babies and as I'm walking toward my daughter I notice that her nose is running but it is extremely red underneath her nose and on top of her nose. As I get closer to her as she is sitting beside yet another new teacher and I guess she could tell that I'm looking at her strange so she says to me "Mommy I fell" so being a concerned parent I immediately go over and take a look at her face and her nose and the upper area of her lip were scraped up. At this time the teacher (who had just started two days prior so I didn't even know his name not to mention he wasn't even supposed to be teaching my daughter but apparently they were short staff again per usual and he was floating) chimes in and says "oh she tripped and fell outside today." So I immediately say well I wasn't notified of any injury and I asked was it cleaned with antiseptic because it clearly looked to have not been cleaned. He proceeds to say no but I can give you an antiseptic wipe if you want to clean it. I reply that would be nice and he begins to search but was unable to locate a single antiseptic wipe in his class. I immediately take my daughter to Jaki Avles, Asst. Director and ask her for an antiseptic wipe and the reason I was not notified of an injury to my daughter's face and she replies as she's handing me a baby wipe that she was unaware of any injury and she doesn't know what happened. Upon arriving home my daughter began complaining of having mulch in her mouth and that is when it was discovered that her front tooth was also chipped. read more

When we first enrolled our two kids to this school the Director and all the teachers were great with my kids and with us as parents. Then she moved on to another school and the new Director they got to take her place was completely incompetent. She got there and I had to redo both of my kids paperwork, she blamed the previous Director for that problem. Then she started losing employees and my kids where going through different teachers a lot. When my son first started he was starting to come out of his shell but with all the new teacher he clammed up again. Both of my kids hated going to school when they used to love it. So we pulled them out. When we left the school owed us 350 because we paid a month at a time. It took them two months and a lot of calling them and corporate to get our money back. We also had pictured that were due to be sent there by the end of the month and they lost both of my kids packets of pictures. We gave them a month and they only found my daughters. Sharon claimed she never received my sons and that none of this was her fault. So I called lifetouch and they could give me an exact time that the school received my sons pictures and resent them to our address so we no longer had to deal with them. She can not keep anything organized and is the poorest Director I have ever seen. Beware. read more
