We had to make a transition from another site and I was a little hesitant about the move but they did an awesome job in making sure the kids would adjust fine by keeping them with some kids and teachers they were with previously. Everyone I've encountered thus far has been polite and friendly. The teachers in my sons classroom are understanding, helpful, nurturing and inviting. I am very PLEASED with the work they do at the center.

The director is rude and unprofessional to parents with concerns. The response of "well, you child doesn't need to go here" is they type of response you WILL receive from the "director". This center is horrible (excluding one teacher) and unless you want your child to come home dirty and abused, I would NOT recommend sending your child to this center.

Well just to clarify a few things for the people that read these reviews since you're arguing with…read moreme about my review, and sending nonstop personal messages about it, I'll clarify. I may have been late picking them up maybe 6 times in the maybe 6 months they were there, but never any longer than 20 min. I work 5 minutes down the street in a salon and yes sometimes I run over when I have clients. It was usually 5-10 at the most when it happened. And, I DIDN'T BLOW PAST you. I didn't even know who you were. I never met you before until that day. I thought you were a parent and I was going into the classroom to get my kids. When you told me I needed to do swipes I told you I didn't have my card on me that day and would do them the next day. You then told me I would be charged Out of pocket and I said " fine!! Whatever, charge me" YES I get government assistance. I'm not ashamed of it. I'm a single mom of 4 who works 2 jobs and go to school part time and I don't receive ANY child support. I bust my ass!!! I was upset because you preceded to announce in front of staff and parents that I get FREE childcare through welfare and I needed to swipe my card. I told you that I don't think this should be discussed in front of others and I was in a rush to pick up my other two kids. You ignored what I said and continued on with you uptight snobby attitude and I told you this shouldn't be discussed in front of others, its probably against the law to discuss personal information in front of parents and you told me it was against the law not to do my swipes. After going and going with your attitude and raising your voice at me in front of people I got upset and said " fine, you know what I don't even want my kids to come here anymore!! On top of your rudeness I was called away from work weekly because of illness in the infant room constantly. My son was always sick and kept catching pink eye. I was even called away because you guys told me my daughter had a blister in her mouth and couldn't return without a dr. Excuse. I took time off work, went to the doctor and she told me my daughter bit her lip!! It wasn't a blister. I was unhappy, wrote a review and you can't let it go. Please stop sending me messages, I told you earlier this morning I was done with the conversation and then you write a review of how you recall the incident. Let it go!! Thanks

This place has really went downhill. We used to love this place and loved the staff but as time…read morecontinued and our kid continued to grow we noticed that it was difficult to keep this place staffed. Sometimes they would staff the young kids rooms with fresh faces without enough training to provide parents the lesson plans they have for their children. So the kids would be left roaming free doing whatever they wanted. There would be times that the kids were finally calm and was learning how to self regulate their emotions and then a new teacher comes in and changes the atmosphere. And sometimes they would assign teachers who gag when it comes to potty training kids which sets some kids back because they are thinking that they are doing something wrong with the reaction that teacher is giving. There is no consistency with these teachers and they keep rotating all the teachers around which causes chaos. There hasn't been any more lesson plans given to the parents because the teachers never know which class they will be in. There has been times where I would come in early to pick up my child, only to hear the tablet speakers blasting and the children staring at the tablet and watching DannyGo. There are other times where I would come in and hang out with my kid a bit in the morning and smell the strong odor of marijuana on a teacher as she walks in to start her day. They aren't always consistent to checking in your kids into the classroom so you can look on the app and see how their day is going by either looking at the posts from the teachers or logging into the live video feed but only if they are checked in by the teachers. They are very adamant when it comes to parents checking in their children but aren't when it comes to teachers checking in their children. Overall, we used to love this place and loved the staff that were meant to teach. There are still some people there from when our kid started and we love them, but we can see that them being short staff is effecting them. These teachers play such a huge roll in these children's lives so it's important to keep them happy and honest. When I talk to another parent they were noticing a difference in the teachers' attitudes as well. So seeing some of these teachers' patience running thin shows that they need some extra training because kids will be kids and they need guidance. We also didn't appreciate when the the director Richelle took 9 days to respond to us about some concerns we had when it came to them being short staffed and causing us issues because they were not able to care for our child. Child care is expensive enough so waiting 9 days for a statement to be corrected only to get charged a late fee in the process while waiting is ridiculous. Really wish Ashley was the director because she is always prompt with responses and she is so caring and respected amongst all of her peers and children. The children all love her and listen to her. She knows how to handle difficult situations and how to properly de-escalate any issue with both adults and children. Hoping this place gets better in the near future for the children.
