Since they keep deleting my review on Google, I'm posting it over here. As many times as you (the…read moreowners) delete it, I will just keep putting it back up. The reason being that PARENTS HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW AND DESERVE TO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR FACILITY! My daughter started here over 4 years ago and I had a very pleasant experience until this last year or so. I knew the place had gone down hill after the new owners took over, but I was unaware of just how badly. The staff there is completely negligent and can't be bothered with properly taking care of the children they're suppose to be supervising. The staff keeps quitting and they seem to keep hiring younger and younger employees that talk rudely to the children. I've heard and seen the staff yell at kids and tell them to shut up. I've walked in on teachers allowing the kids to use YouTube and watch inappropriate videos such as The Muffin Song, for example. This last month or so my daughter kept telling me about so many things that were going on there and how the teachers don't care. Some were happening to her and some to other children. Children would physically and verbally bully other kids and staff would not intervene. This happened to my daughter and she had to physically defend herself more than once. I would address my concerns with Mrs. Beverly, the director, and I didn't feel heard or satisfied that my complaint would be thoroughly looked into. The last straw for me was another child making sexual comments towards my daughter and another young girl. Then a few days later I was alerted that breakfast was not being provided to my child before being taken to school and that the daycare has forgotten to pick her up from school more than once, which they did not inform me of. When I addressed this with the office I knew nothing would come of my complaint and I made the decision then to begin looking for another daycare and remove my daughter from a place I no longer felt was safe. While I was in the process of finding another daycare I went onto the Texas Health and Human Services website and looked into Oak Leaf. I was shocked to find out that since the new owners have taken over they've had 69 violations since 10/25/2017 and as recent as a few months ago! Everything from hiring employees without completing background checks, not providing water to children, one staff member actually hit a child, unsupervised children outside, staff not aware of how many kids they have in their classrooms, releasing a child to an adult without verifying their ID to see if they were approved to do so which the person was not authorized to do, a child outside with no clothing and unsupervised, leaving cleaning chemicals in places easily accessible to the kids, staff allowing kids to physically fight, and so many more! It's all there on the Texas Health and Human Services website. So, if you don't take my word for it, look it up for yourself and see it with your own eyes. This is place is unsuitable to care for children. DO NOT trust them with your precious babies. When the owner found out I was transferring my daughter she actually called me to ask why. I explained to her everything I was concerned about and brought up everything I'm writing in this review. She tried to justify all the violations and made statements like "it's not what it looks like" and "it didn't happen the way the state inspectors wrote in their reports". To me, that is unacceptable to try to shift blame and not accept responsibility for the things that are clearly going on in their facility. The only positive thing left there is Mrs. Cheryl. She's just as great as she was when my daughter started there in 2015. http://www.dfps.state.tx.us/Child_Care/Search_Texas_Child_Care/CCLNET/Source/Provider/ppComplianceHistory.aspx?fid=1293228&tab=2

Our experience that I have to share with other moms:…read more We enrolled our child in a Montessori school. The tour and discovery day were amazing -- kind staff, great atmosphere, and a beautiful curriculum. Our child felt welcome and had a great time, so we enrolled her and even paid for camera access. Once the real days started, everything changed. From day one, no one greeted her. The teacher looked unhappy, took her without saying a word, and told me to leave. My child cried all day and no one comforted her. The response was: "Teachers have many kids and can't give attention to everyone." The following days were the same. No real curriculum, kids wandering around, teachers on their phones, my child crying with no support. "Quiet time" was supposed to be 12-2, but kids were forced to lie in the dark from 11:30am to 2:30pm. When I questioned it, they said the teacher was "in the restroom" - for 3 hours?! My child started having meltdowns and didn't want to go at all. On the cameras I saw kids crying on the floor, being ignored, fighting with no adult help, and teachers being rude or disengaged. The manager admitted she knows the staff is bad and can't find better ones. Teachers said they don't have time for a curriculum, and the manager said "it's Montessori, there is no real curriculum" -- even though one was proudly shown during the tour. One day we picked her up and they were all watching TV. Another time babies were left crying with no one responding -- I ended up calming one baby because I couldn't ignore the crying. One evening at home, my child started hitting her own hand. When I asked why, she said: "The lady does it." We don't have a babysitter and it's only me and my husband, so I have no idea who she was referring to. We took our child out after a couple of weeks. I'm sharing this so other parents aren't fooled by tours and fake smiles. Trust your gut -- your child's emotional safety matters more than any school la

My child attends Pecan Ranch and has since he was 6 weeks old. I appreciate the knowledge that the…read morestaff has about childcare and the positive interactions that I see. I have a very energetic boy and he often times is more than willing to test your patience and the ladies show extreme patience, often reminding me that, "boys will be boys and he is just a typical toddler". As a toddler I know that he is going to get hurt, but the teachers are always able to let me know the how and when and are knowledgeable in their first aid to the point that I don't have any anxiety or fears while he is away from me. He has recently moved into the Toddler Room and it's great having teachers who are willing to help with potty training when I'm ready, transitioning to a sippy cup, and just the other daily things that he is learning. He often comes home with new words and trying to sing songs from his class. For a childcare facility, I love the home away from home feeling that I'm having with this facility.

My son went to this school. It was wonderful until he was moved into Ms. Terry's class. He was…read morealways in trouble and as soon as I walked in his class ALL the students would tell me how bad he is. After my son got sent home due to his "behavior". The truth came out. Terry would have an older kid beat up my son and others when she thought they where being bad. She would tell my son he was bad and even put a girls TUTU on him to make the class laugh at him! She told all the kids to "tell his mommy he is bad". I called Lisa the owner/director but she refused to call me back. In fact I was treated as if I did something wrong and Terry was the victim! Terry no longer works there ( surprise ). I also have messages from another teacher who worked there letting me know the truth about everything. I believe a lady by the name of Candace is working the front and she stated " she cant talk because she did not want to lose her job." I have proof of everything and don't mind posting it. I have a lot of guilt I carry with me for letting my son go to this daycare. PLEASE DONT take your children here.

It was evident to me that Mrs. Mersi (Director) and her staff cared a great deal about the children each day. As a parent, (who needed childcare for a few weeks), I felt confident leaving my child at Cuddly Kids after speaking to Mersi on the phone and seeing her facility the following day. I can't express how grateful I am for their patients and understanding while caring for my son during our transition. If you need weekly or hourly childcare, I would encourage you to give Cuddly Kids a try! I'm glad I did!

I've always felt confident in the care and support our child receives there. A few things we've really appreciated: * Care from 6 weeks through Pre-K (year-round) * Summer program for school-age kids * Hours from 7:30am-6pm * A safe, loving environment * Meals and snacks included in tuition * Minimal closure days, which is a huge help for working families * Wonderful community of educators and families. * Lots of space to learn including a playground, baseball fields, large gym, kitchen, and of course dedicated classrooms for each group. * Occasional kids night out. * Focus of play and social skills, while also learning the basics and preparing for Kindergarten and beyond. * Low tech, little to no screen time. * They take the lead and potty train the kids during the 2s year (which was worth its weight in gold for our family * Extras include Soccer Shots, Dance, and Gymnastics. * Tenured staff And so very affordable. If you are thinking about touring, definitely make a visit. I'm so glad we did
