My child attended this daycare for a year. Throughout that year, I witnessed the quality of the daycare reduce significantly. During my child's time there, there were several staff members that came and went and there would be no acknowledgement or reason for the teacher's absence. I witnessed the staff members and teachers whispering and gossiping daily as I would arrive to pick my child up. The owner Joyce is extremely rude and has absolutely no people skills. Some days she will walk by and speak and on other days she would not. The focus is no longer on learning in this facility. The staff members are overpaid baby sitters. The curriculum that I paid for was not being implemented. There are over 30 students in the 3 year old classes with only one teacher and aide to supervise.
My child had a new teacher and within weeks the teacher disappeared. No one decided to share this information with the parents. I had to ask management, and they stated that things did not work out with that teacher. I was assured that my child would have a new teacher within a week, but 2 months later there was no new teacher. There was a teenage girl in the class that the management said was "helping them out until they find a replacement". Initially I was reluctant to remove my child from this daycare (absolutely will not call it a learning academy) because I did not want to take my child from their friends, but I am finding that most of them have been switched to other facilities as well.
Upon enrolling my child, the staff assured me that spanish and sign language would be taught, but my child was never taught any.
They pride themselves on the fact that there are no tv's in the classrooms, however they take the children into the theater to watch disney movies daily.
There were several days I arrived to pick up my child and the class would be empty. I would ask management or other teaches where the class was. They would respond by shrugging their shoulders and saying look in a different room. This is not what any parent should experience after being away from their child the full work day.
This facility does not keep parents updated on their child's progress. There are no report cards or learning updates provided.
I would not recommend anyone take their child to this daycare. It is not a comfortable environment for children and there is not focus on learning. read more
