I cannot say enough about the impact that this school has had on my two children. They have not only kept them safe and helped them learn and grow, but they have also nurtured them with love, authenticity and kindness. My son began after 2 years and my daughter at 16 months. My questions and concerns are always received and responded to quickly and professionally. They have been especially sensitive to transitions in classroom/changes with teachers and were instrumental in potty training (miracle workers). I wish they had a private kindergarten program so we could extend our time there!!

During a tour, I thought it would be a safe and nurturing learning environment for my son. I explained to ALMA LUYANDA, the director, that my son has speech delays, is very energetic, and doesn't listen well. She assured me that it was just two-year-olds and that they could handle him without any problems. Despite the high price of $366 a week, I decided to move forward with this place. However, shortly after she started getting my money, on the fourth day (less than a week later), she called me into her office to discuss concerns about my son opening doors and not napping. At the end of the conversation, she asked me to "talk" to my two-year-old about the rules. This was strange to me, but I tried. I developed this outrageous anxiety daily, trying to watch my son on their cameras to see if he was truly doing anything wrong. Over the next three weeks, I received three incident reports and was instructed to pick him up twice. All these incidents were completely within the scope of what a two-and-a-half-year-old would do. Instead of making efforts to create a safer environment for impulsive toddlers, they chose to blame the child and their ability to self-regulate. The second time they called me to pick up my child for opening doors, I asked, "Are you asking me to leave my job because my son is doing something a two-year-old is supposed to do? I pay you almost $400 a week for you to keep him safe?" Alma lost her patience and kept telling me he wasn't being safe. I explained that's why I pay you to do the job of keeping him safe because I can't do my job and keep him safe. I asked if I would get any kind of compensation or discount going forward. Alma explained that I wasn't because the rate is the same. Then she said she was short-staffed (I did know one of his teachers was out for her birthday, and I love her, but that's not her fault), so they couldn't watch him that closely because it's a big group. That simply doesn't matter to me because the price was the same, and you, as a manager, have to figure that out. I shouldn't be inconvenienced because you're short-staffed. She then explained that I would have to find a new daycare, but I had already paid for the upcoming week. My son's father went to get my son, and I asked him if I was getting a refund or if they planned on keeping my son. Alma also lost her patience with him and called the police, lying and saying he was threatening her! Which never happened. She banned him from the property and filed a police report! It feels like it's race-driven and not a conducive environment for toddlers. In reality, my child is just larger than most and has access to things that many of his age wouldn't have, but he has the same maturity and physical development as any other child his age. I am extremely disappointed by the sheer disrespect and lack of customer service I received. My son is a happy, friendly, and curious kid. He shouldn't be penalized for that.. All in all, I would recommend no one bring their children to this daycare unless they are robots that listen to everything they are told regardless of age. I am very disappointed!

The teachers know which kids they can do what to; for instance, they know where the cameras are, and they know the 1-2 year olds won't repeat threats. Management is complicit, and they turn their eyes to the abuse because they are afraid of their family-owned business being under scrutiny. One of the members of management told a one year old girl she needed to lay still so she could get her "pussy" cleaned. Kids are regularly told, "If you were my kid, you wouldn't sit down for a week," things like that. I reported the abuse but they did nothing because I didn't realize how widespread it was; multiple teachers laugh when a teacher is "fed up" and threatens a kid. They all do it. It is terrifying. These kids can't defend themselves, and they can't tell us that it's happening, but it is awful and they need help. ​

I had my first experience with using CCC last week. The day before my appointment I received a profile of the sitter with very detailed explanations of her experience and a picture!

She took everything with stride and the kids were instantly won over. I had a brief discussion with her about where I was going and what time the kids needed to go to bed, we exchanged numbers and I was out the door! When I got home the house was so clean! It was like the 3 kids were not even there and even better than that all three were sound asleep! I signed the time log and she was on her way.

About two month's after our child had transitioned to the 3yo classroom, we started to notice marks…read moreon her that weren't there when she was dropped off. Now we understand that as kids get older they become more adventurous and curious about their environment and other children. Accidents happen and we understand that, but in our case these "Accidents" were happening weekly, sometimes twice a week. The first incident: We were told that close to the end of the day the Assistant head of school and the classroom teacher were cleaning up, getting ready to take the kids to the play room for final pickup. They heard our daughter crying and turned around to find her crying on the floor. They tended to her writing an incident report stating that she had fallen out of a chair. When I went to pick her up I was notified about the incident and or course I checked out my daughter for injuries. When I saw how severe the injury was I started to question just how far she fell. So I went back inside asking to see where the incident happened and I was shown to her classroom. I was told she fell out of her chair and hit her face on the table. The mark on her face was basically a black eye, the chair is maybe 2 ft. off the ground and the table 4ft. How is it possible for her to fall hard enough to hit her face on the table and cause a black eye? The logic doesn't add up unless you add that my child was standing on the chair and fell from higher up before hitting her face. This brings up the question of why was she allowed to stand in a chair? Why wasn't she being told to get down, or removed from the chair prior to an incident happening? This was the first incident that made me question. Two days later I arrive to pick up my child and there is another incident report that I have to sign. This time a bookshelf had fallen on my child. Yes you read that right, a bookshelf fell on my child. This caused a bloody nose and a bruise on her face. When I questioned how something like this could happen, they explained to me that because their daycare is so new they hadn't had time to have the bookshelves secured to wall. They apologized and ensured that a ticket had been inputted to have the shelves secured to the wall. Now this is not 100% on the daycare. From what they explained the children like to climb on the bookshelves to reach books higher up. This was probably the case for my daughter, but there are a few problems with this. One, why are the children allowed to climb on a bookshelf. Even if it's secured to the wall, what happens if they fall off? Second, if they aren't allowed to climb on the bookshelf, why wasn't my child told not climb the bookshelf? Who was supposed to be paying attention to her to ensure her safety? Third, why isn't the security of the furniture within the classroom a higher priority? Furniture being secured is a basic necessity for a child care program to ensure the safety of all children that attend the school. Cabinets should have locks, same with drawers, same with furniture. This was not the case until after a child got hurt. The Third incident was the final straw for me. About 2 weeks later, I went to pick up my child and all of the kids were outside playing. I went into the playground picking up my child and I noticed she had a bruise on her face. I proceeded to ask her what happened and she told me she was hit in the face with a stick by another child. Now once again, children will be children. I cannot expect that everything would be caught and prevented. Especially for toddlers. So when this occurred I took her to the teacher that was supposed to be watching the kids outside, and she had no idea what had happened. Mind you there are about 10-15 kids outside. There was only 1 teacher. I then took her to the assistant head of school and asked why wasn't I notified about this, and again I was met with an I don't know. This time there was no incident report.
