CAUTION PARENTS: Do NOT send your babies here! Our Dreams? More like Our Nightmare!!! The staff is rude and not nurturing, the owner is a liar and a fraud, the food looks awful, and they barely have any toys. My son attended for 1 week before I pulled him out. When I picked him up at the end of day 1 he was screaming, and I was rudely informed that he had been doing that all day! Extremely unusual for my son. Day 2 he was bitten, Day 3 he was gauged under his chin, which they called a scratch. He has been in daycare before and always enjoyed it. At this place, he would start screaming in the parking lot after just seeing the building! My mother's intuition told me that something wasn't right, and I went looking for a new daycare. (We found a new place, and he LOVES it. He jumps out of my arms now to run in and hug his teacher and play with his friends!) I had paid upfront for 1 full month at Our Dreams. I knew there was a 2 week notice that needed to be given, which I did. However, I asked if they would be willing to waive it so he didn't have to get attached to one teacher, and then another. Jamie told me that was fine, and Friday could be his last day. I was told I could expect a check in the mail for the 3 remaining weeks. I called, and called, and called, and Christy was never available to take my call. Finally 2 weeks later I received a check for only 1 week of the 3 remaining weeks I had paid for. Again, I started calling, again Christy would not speak to me. She finally had Jamie call me back to tell me that Christy changed her mind and decided to keep the 2 weeks of the pay. They are not only liars, but I believe something else is going on there too. There's no reason that my son was miserable there, and happy as can be at his new place. We are not from here, so I only recently found out that this place has changed names because they were under investigation for CHILD ABUSE under their old name Candy Cane Corner. It's a shame that this place is still operating and caring for young children. It's a shame the the own outright lied to me about refunding my money, but at the end of the day, the money doesn't matter. My sons safety and happiness is worth much more than a few weeks child care pay. If you need a place to take your children I would recommend Think Play Grow Academy. My son went there for 1 week prior to attending Our Dreams. The only reason we left was because they didn't open until 0730, which ended up not working with my new schedule. He loved it there, loved his teacher, and never had screaming episodes like he did at Our Dreams. He's currently at This Little Piggy, and I really cannot say enough great things about them either. Everything about it we love! Seriously, please take caution sending your kids to Our Dreams. Something ain't right there and the state needs to shut them down! read more
