DANGEROUS and NEGLIGENT. Do not leave your children here!
Review:
If I could give Tinkerlab zero stars, I would. We pulled our son out after only three days, and honestly, I regret not trusting my gut the moment I walked in. This place is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Safety is non-existent.
On Tuesday, when I arrived for pickup, the front door was propped wide open with a brick, and there was no one at the front desk. Any stranger could have walked in, or a child could have walked right out into the parking lot. When I finally found a staff member, she was sitting in the corner on her phone with her back to the room while two toddlers were fighting over a pair of adult-sized scissors that had been left on a low table.
The hygiene is appalling.
The floors looked like they hadn't been swept in a week. There were sticky spills everywhere, and the "nap area" smelled strongly of mildew. I saw one of the assistants change a diaper and then immediately go back to preparing snacks without washing her hands.
Unprofessional Management.
When I tried to speak to the director about these safety concerns, she was incredibly defensive and rude. She told me I was "overreacting" and that "kids get messy." There is a difference between messy and hazardous. There is no curriculum, no structure, and zero accountability.
Save yourself the stress and keep your children safe--take them literally anywhere else. read more
