We started here about a year ago and used to love it here. Since expanding, professionalism has…read moregone extremely downhill. There have been oftentimes classrooms are over ratio to state guidelines. When it comes to communication among teachers, it's not quite there. It has become common to hear "I don't know" when asking a question in regards to my child's day. There have been times I have seen teachers not paying attention to kids whether it's taking over the fence while kids are on the playground and their back is turned to them or being on their phone. There was a time I came to drop off diapers and all the teachers were just sitting in chairs. Not one single of the new teachers and assistant director ever bothered to introduce themselves and I can guarantee don't know my name as a parent. Incident reports no longer go home. My child got hit and had a bloody nose and no one bothered to call or send home an incident report but rather just updated in the app. After having a sit-down, the owner and assistant director were not very welcoming in bringing up concerns so not all concerns were brought up. It's very much a "can do no wrong attitude" even when my daughter came home with fingerprint marks on her leg that looked like it had been from holding too tight during diaper changes. Upon leaving, I could overhear them gossiping about me as a parent when they thought the door was shut. It's not the first time though that concerns got brushed under the rug. Sasha has been the only asset to this company and we have appreciated all that she has done. I have attached pictures of the fingerprints, the bite mark from when my daughter came home with (I had to tell them it looked like a bite mark for them to even look at the cameras because they weren't watching and didn't see it happen), a teacher on her phone, as well as the threats. *Since posting our review on google I have received quite the message about being sued for posting our experience which should indicate how well parental feedback is taken.

Additional complexities exist as each child reacts in their own unique way (as do parents). I feel Kindercare wouldn't exist if they were THAT bad. I've experienced timely and thorough reporting of incidents. I've seen years of child/parent/staff incidents, and few exist with clear cut "blame" person or child. I taught elementary for 35+ years and afterwards worked years as a psychiatric RN. I hope the child finds a safe, constructive environment.

I was hoping the staff at KinderCare would handle the situation appropriately, however after…read morespeaking to one of the other parents today, none of the parents were informed of an incident that happened over 3 weeks ago, and the teacher is still in the classroom. As a parent, I would want to know of any reported emotional and physical abuse by a teacher, even if it's still under investigation. I cannot believe other parents were not notified that their kids are potentially being mistreated. My son (3 years old) once came home with bruises on his face. I notified the director immediately that I felt it looked like an adult grabbed his face (both sides of his chin) and she agreed it looked like someone grabbed him. She assured me she would look into it and said some of the boys in the class are just rough. I get that, my son definitely plays hard too. I let it go and just kept an eye on it. Over the course of three months, my son became increasingly aggressive, reverted to baby talk, started saying curse words (we do NOT speak like that in the home), said phrases like "make her bleed" (we rarely let him watch TV so there is nowhere else he would've learned this), he stopped napping, he lost interest in his swimming classes which he loved and his martial arts classes. He came home with multiple bite marks, bruises, and scratches from other kids almost daily, which to me shows lack of supervision. They absolutely do not teach there. It's very much just a daycare with no instruction, just a lot of crafts and coloring and kids running around with no structure. The 'Adventure Learning' that they charge an extra $25 a week to actually teach your kid is a joke. I was told it was two half hours a week of 1-to-1 or small group-focused phonetics learning, but instead he got one hour straight (no three year old can pay attention that long) on some weeks, but other weeks received nothing. The excuse I got for that was 'well that teacher works four 10's." Great. Then to me she still works 40 hours a week and has plenty of time to get organized and give the instruction as promised. I will say that after discontinuing with this particular add-on, they did make-up ONE of the missed lessons that next week. The final straw was when he had a full meltdown after school, refusing to sleep and terrified because one of his teachers told him he'd never see his mommy again and that she was mean to him and grabbed his face, which is when I connected the bruises I saw before on his face. It took us an hour that night to get him calm enough to sleep and assured him that teacher was not going to come take him or hurt his mommy. I disenrolled him immediately and set a meeting with the director. It was expected that an investigation was going to be done in lieu of me notifying CSB, which was my initial intention. I get that kids have a big imagination, but there is no way my very sheltered 3 year old would have the frame of reference to make up that kind of story. They shove 20+ toddlers in one small class with one teacher and one aide. Yes, that's within state guidelines but when you mix behavioral kids and that high of a ratio of students to teachers, it's a recipe for disaster. The director and front staff both seem very nice and understanding. They plan summer activities for the families and morning activities for the parents and kids, which is great! They did not give me any problems disenrolling immediately with no notice because of the allegations, however I am absolutely appalled that at the very least, other parents were not notified. Since my son has been pulled from there, with constant reassurance that he never has to go back, he's finally napping again, he's not showing aggression, and he's starting to want to do things like his martial arts classes again. I would caution anyone looking to enroll in this school to watch your kiddos behavior VERY closely and if you're looking for somewhere focused more on learning, this is not the location.

I also have younger siblings that attend this school and they absolutely love it! There are people who will review this school and try to give it some really trashy reviews. But, don't listen to them. The AFAP school isn't perfect. But, it is a wonderful school. The teachers are very nice, Godly, and just outright amazing! I love them so much! In fact, if you need a reason to come to this school, the students learn material that is way more advanced than the curriculum in public schools. My siblings have learned about things that I still have absolutely no clue about, and I attend a public school. My mom has taught the 5th and 6th graders and they've learned stuff that I still struggle with. I applaud this school, it's students, it's teachers, and it's wonderful staff!

This only furthers my creditably that you must AVOID this daycare! To summarize my previous comment - I picked up my child from school and he had nurse made elbow. This means his elbow was dislocated by force. It occurred because my 3 year old at the time would not pick up puzzle pieces he threw so the teacher was "helping" him pick them up than out of no where he started crying and favoring his arm. I was not notified until pick up!!! THE TEACHER WAS STILL ALLOWED TO WORK THERE! This was the major issue but there was a number of other things, however that was the last day either of my children went there! SAFETY, TRUST, UNDERSTANDING, NOURISHMENT, HONESTY - NOT AT FIRST ASSEMBLY OF GOD or AKRON FIRST ASSEMBLY OF GOD!
