Im only giving 4 stars because supposedly any review with 3 or less stars Doesnt show from what im told. Id give a ZERO if i could!
riting this in hope that it will save the next parent the stress in which it has caused me.
I recently enrolled my daughter into Daycare at St Pete Prep Learning Center in St. Petetsburg. The first day, as the front office assistant walked my daughter & i to her class, i witnessed someone else's child (approx. 3 y/o girl) sitting on the bathroom with a bare bottom & her clothes scattered on the floor. I thought it to be a tad odd but didn't say anything. I sat down with my daughter & her class so she could feel comfortable before i left. After about 15-20 minutes or so she was comfortable and i left. Welll, as i walked out i couldn't help but notice the little girl was STILL sitting on her bare bottom on the bathroom floor. Again, it was my daughters first day, i didnt want to be "that parent", the annoying one that comments on everything. So i didn't Say anything.
The next day when i walked into the classroom to pick my daughter up, she was in the corner crying by herself with snot all over her face. Which tells me she had been crying for a bit. I ask the teacher what's wrong, i didn't get a straight answer. I ask again & im told she had a few diarrhea diapers & as a result had diaper rash. She stated she applied Vaseline. So i immediately put my daughter on the changing table to see because shes never reacted that way. The rash was bad enough that someone should've called me. & not just because of how the rash looked but because of how my child was acting. In addition, i should've received a call due to the diarrhea they claimed She had. She clearly was in alot of pain & didn't want to sit down because of it let alone have a diaper on. But yet when i walked in, she was sitting. No one thought to even hold my daughter, console her, let her know its going to be okay. Or thought to call me? They should've called me. Who knows how long my baby had to sit on pain. Or continue to ge her butt wiped even though she's in pain to the point of tears!
That night she couldn't even wear a diaper to bed, she literally cried herself to sleep with no diaper. And she slept on a towel.
I understand kids get diaper rash & it can get severe, that's overstood. My problem is i wasnt notified.
I don't understand how they can be in business. How could i possibly experience this much nonesense & licensing violations in just TWO DAYS?
Long story short, i reported the daycare to daycare licensing & they will be investigated. But more so, i wish i knew the mother of the little girl that was sitting on the floor.
In addition, i wrote a review on the daycare's Facebook page and in response they stated "i would definitely question this persons credibility. Follow this link & Check out her arrest record. REALLY?? What kind of parent is this?" & then posted a link to a records site showing my arrest for possession of marijuana. Then hours later deactivated the page, removed the reviews option & reactivated. If that doesnt speak volumes i don't know what does.
Thank you for hearing me out. read more
