    Injuries my daughter came home with from daycare that no one told us about.
    Vidhi S.

    It is telling that none of the reviews for this daycare are from 2021 or 2022. We placed our daughter here for about a month in October 2022 and then finally had to remove her. Her daily reports often contained incorrect information (like she was given a school lunch -- which contains meat -- when we pack her lunch because she is vegetarian), and we struggled to find anyone to communicate with us about how our daughter did each day. There was usually a new caretaker or teacher in her classroom every time I went to pick her up. The most concerning thing, however, was our daughter was sent home with swelling, redness, and bruising around her diaper and no one alerted us to what had happened (photos below). When we emailed with our concerns, we were told they would look into it, but no one ever got back to us. We were told repeatedly that the care and communication would improve, but it did not. I would not recommend this location.

    I worked here for only 2 days. My experience was terrible!!! I have been in childcare for 5 years &…read moreI thought this would be a great fit for me. But, instead it was a nightmare I literally hated to come in on those 2 days. Most of the staff had a great attitude towards me & was welcoming when I came in but then there was Maria. She tried to seem like she was so nice but she was so rude to me!!!!! She wouldn't even let me interact with the children in the "space" I was provided. Because she was so CONTROLLING & not sure for herself. The whole school knew that she ran multiple workers away from this daycare because of her controlling behavior. Ms. Jeanie told me don't let her run me away & honestly that kind of scared me because I was thinking like what did I get myself into! Catrina Knight let it all happen. She told me out of her mouth that she had to give Maria a year leave in the past because of this kind of behavior. Which is really unprofessional to tell a new employee. She tried to make me stay in a work environment where I didn't feel comfortable or welcomed. Her father Charles tried to give me this speech about how to overcome the disrespect basically. But, it didn't work for me at all. Then, don't get me started on how small & unsafe this place is for the children. During nap time all of the children in the whole daycare sleeps in the hallway that's so unsanitary & weird to me. And not to mention that she didn't pay me for those days I worked which was to be $19 a hour. So when I resigned a couple days after I reached out to her about the process of me to get paid. She ignored me because she was out of town living her best life. But then she replied she asked me for a mailing address for my check which she received. Then I waited a few more days to see if it would be in the mailbox but it wasn't so I reached out to her again. Then in her words she said "The check will be sent 30 days after your resignation date since we did not receive ample notice. The training check will be received by Aug. 4." So, I waited again at this point I'm being very patient with her. It's August 11th & still haven't received a check!!!!! She will not reply to me & it's very inconsiderate. But the moral of the story is don't work here or send your child here.
