You are taking a risk if you send your child to this daycare. There is one woman here in particular…read morethat does not care about you or your child's best interests. Her name is Allison and she's in charge of this mountaintop branch specifically. My child was there for over a year and a half. Every time my child should of been moved up it took prompting from myself to have it happen. The most recent time was in October when I realized my child was four and a half and still in the class with mostly three year olds when I went to pick him up one day. After some prompting they agreed to move him up to the pre-k where he belonged. Up until this point my child had no problems with his behavior or anything. The first week he had problems adjusting to pre-k and had a couple behavior issues. I thought nothing of it because he's 4 and it all seemed completely normal to me. That changed after the weekend though when I went to drop him off Monday and at the door they said after today he's no longer welcome at pre-k. After several phone calls to go above this Allison woman's head they told me that they would put him back with the 3 year olds and give him another shot in a couple months. With our situation and not many daycare in the region especially during covid we conceded...Fast forward 5 months to this week! Finally they let him go back to pre-k. He has one bad day of five days this week of misbehaving where he throws a toy and hits a kid and they tell me he's no longer welcome at all at that building blocks location. They don't care about your work situation or need for childcare and they certainly don't care about your child's welfare or growth. If a child has a problem adjusting to the next level you help him adjust, give him more time, and figure out the problem and work with the parents. You don't call them at the end of the day Friday to say there's nothing we can do he's not welcome anymore and by the way you can't get ahold of anyone the rest of the weekend because it six o'clock...click. They also kicked out one of my buddies kids as well for being "difficult". You are taking a risk if you send your child here. If he ends up going through a phase or becomes difficult they will randomly tell you one day that your child is no longer welcome here. Even if your child has been here for a year or two they do not care. They'll try to say that it has to do with the welfare and safety of the other kids but really they just don't care and are unwilling to do the work and they are not personally invested in your child's progress or development. Children act up and go through phases. If anything a daycare and preschool like this should be the experts in this category. This daycare is not. You shouldn't live in fear of whether your child is going to be able to go back to daycare day to day. You should be able to drop your kid off and feel safe knowing that your child is socializing and getting better with people who care about him. Not the case here at Building Blocks Mountain Top. You are taking a risk sending your child here. Thanks for reading. Good Luck with your daycare search!
