: Deeply Concerned - Please Read Before Enrolling Your Child at Precious People's Daycare in Alden
I had a deeply upsetting experience at Precious People's Daycare that I feel obligated to share in hopes of protecting other children and families.
Only a few weeks after enrolling my children, I personally witnessed a staff member scream at an infant, aggressively rip a pacifier out of a child's mouth, and yell at my son. I immediately stepped in and told the staff member their behavior was completely unacceptable and inappropriate.I brought this to the attention of the director via email, as she wasn't on site at the time. Rather than investigating the situation or asking for clarification, she terminated our contract, stating my children were no longer welcome at the daycare. As if they would ever go back.
I reported the incident to the state licensing authority, as what I witnessed constituted verbal, emotional, and physical abuse. The day after the state investigated, the director attempted to retaliate by claiming my daughter's behavior was "out of control" -- something that has never been said about her in years of attending other daycares without issue. It felt like a clear effort to discredit our family and shift blame.
This daycare raises many red flags:
-No website or transparent contact information
-No platform to leave or read reviews
-Staff members who are not properly trained or supervised
If you're considering this daycare, I urge you to ask questions, demand transparency, and trust your gut.
I share this not out of anger, but out of duty to protect other families. Please be cautious. Advocate for your children. Speak up when something doesn't feel right. I was in shock but what I personally seen I can only imagine what happens behind close doors.
