Some times they wouldn't even witness the bullying my child and things that would be done.. my child would come home and tell me and then they try to find out what went on after the fact... if the teachers are hearing or seeing, what the hell are they doing?! Lori is quite a shitty person, she's the director. She's hardly even there to knows what in the world is going on with the place. So I called LICENSING ON THEM AND LICENSING TOLD ME TO CALL CHILD NEGLECT!!! As other people said there is a HUGE disconnect between the staff there. It's honestly sad. PLEASE DONT BRING YOUR KIDS HERE. I honestly feel bad allowing my daughter to stay in this kind of environment. Kayla is honestly the only genuine person there and it just shows through how she is with the kids . Everyone else seems like they have no children experience. There's an isabel that works there as well and she's terrible. A little boy Malachi used to bully my daughter and other little kids. Why did this ISABEL ISOLATE MY CHILD... when clearly that child is the problem. And yes I seen it; it was during breakfast time when I first dropped her off and this boy kept bothering her and my daughter was moved to a table all alone... luckily another staff seen it and realized my daughter was alone and sat another student next to her. If you want unorganized this is the place to be.. you will always find a new person working with your child. And for my daughter I don't like that.

Neither of my children had been in daycare previously, and were understandably nervous. The entire staff took care in ensuring that they felt safe and comfortable in their new environment. My son graduated from preschool there this summer, and I'm amazed by all the things he has been prepared for entering into kindergarten. With COVID restrictions in place, we were not able to attend a typical graduation ceremony, but the staff took many steps into making it a special and memorable time for him, and for us, and we couldn't be more grateful. My daughter loves going to school each and every day. She is to the point where she doesn't even say bye to me any more, and just walks right in. She, too, amazes me with all that she is learning, both socially and academically. If you're looking for a caring, safe, welcoming, and clean environment for your children, that feels like home, then this center is for you!

I have been a part of the co-op family here since 2007 when my oldest son entered the three year…read moreold program. "What is a cooperative preschool?" you may ask. As a family, a parent (or grandparent, guardian, etc) contributes time on one school day a month in your child's classroom and devotes at least two hours of time to the annual May Fair fund raiser. The result is a great family vibe that is a socially nurturing environment within a solid academic curriculum. My oldest (the only one in elementary school at this point) was super well-prepared, socially and academically, to enter kindergarten. Impressive for a half-day program. The session is chock full of good learning for these kids. I have my second child finishing up the four year old program here in May and my youngest entering the three year old program in the fall. I almost wish that I had more children just so I could hang out here more than the two years I have ahead. Yeah...I love it that much.

ATTENTION: DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CHILD AT THE DR DAY CARE SMITHFIELD LOCATION. This location should not…read moreeven be considered for child care. How they are still open and "caring" for children is beyond me, and it makes me SICK to my stomach for anybody who leaves their child here every single day. From first hand personal experience, your children are NOT SAFE here! They are not being nurtured AT ALL and they're definitely not being loved and cared for the way you would expect your child to be loved and cared for. Especially for the amount of money you are being charged for child care. The director and assistant are compulsive, pathological liars. Do not trust them. They will lie to your face about the safety and well being of your children. They lie to dcyf workers investigating complaints made by somebody other than the director herself (so a complaint made by an employee or family member). The male employee is put so high on a pedestal at the Smithfield location that he gets away with abusing children and it's considered "okay" by most employees because they are friends who go out drinking together, even with their administrators. The employees are "supposedly" mandatory reporters but they are told that they are better off reporting neglect and/or abuse right to the directors rather than to call DCYF on their own (yes, the director Danielle scares her employees into NOT making the call to dcyf) but when the reports are made right to her or her assistant, the allegations are ignored, not taken seriously, or not believed, and of course, swept under the rug. INFANTS (6 weeks to 1 year) are grabbed by their LIMBS!!!! If they stand in their cribs, the nurturing care takers will grab your babies by the arms, slam them onto their stomachs and yell at them "ENOUGH! GO TO SLEEP!" Once a baby starts being able to wiggle and move around, they're able to bang on the sides of the cribs; the caring and nurturing teacher will grab them by a foot and yank them fast and hard away from the crib side. If a baby is having a hard time falling asleep, or if they typically cry at nap time, they will be forcefully rolled onto their belly and have their backs "patted" aka SMACKED SO HARD its surprising theres never any bruising. If the back smacking doesnt work, theyll literally be left in their crib screaming their head off for the entire two hours (usually more because theyll be the last to get taken out of their crib. Every other child will be removed one at a time and have their diaper changed first). According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (and probably dcyf regulations considering it's a daycare) babies aren't allowed to sleep on their stomachs unless they can roll to that position by themselves but at the Smithfield location, any baby having a hard time settling down is tossed onto their stomachs in hopes that they'll fall asleep quickly so the teacher can go stuff her face with food or wander the hallways or go interrupt other classrooms or go use her cell phone in a bathroom, all while leaving her own classrooms out of ratios for the entire two hour nap time (and theres more than one two hour nap each day) Parents are made to believe (by the directors) that their kids are safe because of the multiple cameras placed in every classroom, yet administration does absolutely nothing about the wrongful things that are clearly taking place in all of these classrooms. Children at this location, if they soil their diaper in between one of the four regularly scheduled diaper changes, they will not be changed until one of those scheduled times. I could go on and on for hours detailing the many reasons a parent should NOT send their child here, or why parents who currently have children here should REMOVE their child from this disgusting place. And if we're being honest, that infant room is the very first classroom in the building. There's still a long hallway with many more classrooms and horror stories to mention. TRUST MY WORD: As a parent, if something, ANYTHING, does not feel right, I promise you from the bottom of my heart IT IS NOT RIGHT!

If your child has any type of delay please do not have them attend this daycare for they are not patient or even caring enough to work with you and your child to try and better them to succeed. They refused to help my child with his speech delay and they do not help potty train and if you are a single mom like me working a lot then that is key. This play is constantly getting new workers, my son had a different teacher aid in his classroom every three months. The owner dared to ask me for a note from my sons doctor so he could move into the preschool room after I just explained to her that my son is in speech therapy. This place isn't even worth the one star I'm giving them. THE WORST DAYCARE IN THE AREA!

I received no phone call no contact at all no incident report nothing. I asked her teachers what happened they said "they never noticed anything" & then continued to tell me all these imaginary scenarios on how it could've gotten there. At the end of the day no one could tell me how it got there and all they could say was that they didn't notice anything and that she wasn't crying. Smh i spoke to jenn poole the director and all she could tell me was the same thing the teachers said that they didn't know how it got there & shes sorry. Lack of supervision is an understanding. No one was watching my child & no one working there could tell me how it happened. My child had that bruise for over a week. Im pretty sure my 2 year old was crying but they didn't notice anything. Do yourself a favor - Do not bring your child here.
