They play outside every day, rain or shine, and we are so thankful for that- as it means fresh air and lots of exploring but our boys are tired at the end of the day and don't fight bedtime. Our boys have a speech delay, and within one week at Sarah's they were saying some of their peers names and now they are starting to put 2, even 3 word phrases together. Our boys have made friends that they talk about often and when it's a daycare day they're ready to go out the door before I am haha.

I should preface this I dropped off an application for daycare for my unborn child at the time and…read moreI WALKED right into this facility. I walked straight down to where children were playing until after a good two minutes I was down there someone greeted me. I was baffled they had no security and how much access I had to children. I handed a female employee and application and said she would hand it to the Anna (director). I received a call a week before I gave birth elated they had a spot. We met with them a month in person at the facility to meet and discuss details. They had a lock at that point and we needed to ring a doorbell to get in. We discussed policy, handbook and AGREED to everything except one thing that our child was unable to get a vaccine due to medical concerns of his doctor. Anna said she she would speak with the owners about the policy but included via email their policy after we began back and forth about the absurdity to tell us for our child to get a vaccine otherwise he can't receive care. Their policy below:   "We are a privately owned company and do require that all staff and children that attend have up to date immunizations. The state requires that if you do not vaccinate you need special forms for any public school or center. However; we are privately owned and feel that immunizations protect and create a safe and healthy environment to learn and grow." We called the Ottawa County Health Department who stayed Rototek Vaccine was NOT state mandated in daycare or school and you do NOT need a special form. We had OCHD on our side and doctors. After disregarding their OWN policy they refused our child to go. I made a report with LARA immediately. Luckily, I'm so blessed to get into Little Tykes University in Nunica. LOVING HEARTS LITTLE HANDS DOES NOT HAVE YOUR CHILDS BEST INTEREST AND WILL FORCE A VACCINE ON YOUR CHILD

From having a child here and working here, I personally saw the quality of care is not at all what…read moreyou would expect in the actual setting sadly. The amount of money parents pay to have their children taken care of isn't at all equal to the quality of how the care is towards to the children. Its extremely low staff and the staff that is there is so unhappy. They are all over worked and exhausted. It's kind of insane how different things appear when a parent is coming or person that works from the corporate office! They will literally call the classrooms of whomever is expecting a parent or person from corporate to warn them and send over other teachers just in case they need help to get back in to order. Negligence towards the children's needs is seen here a lot and different forms of abuse. As a parent: A teacher had told me that my child was put out side a few days prior without gloves or anything and cried the whole time because she was so cold. ( the main teacher never once told me this even when I asked them how her day was going one hour after) Even though I was there at work the teachers said they couldn't let me know because they were already outside. Which one is a lie, and two I'm not sure if this is because of the uneducated of the teachers but honestly it wouldn't take a very highly educated person to find more than one solution to this problem. They acted like it wasn't a big deal. I then realized they always put kids outside and if they don't have proper attire or make sure to put their attire on "sometimes they can't look at all the kids" - what I was told. They say it's not that big of a deal.. um it IS! These are little babies and children. It's unacceptable to have a daycare that their ONLY job is to take care of children and they literally lack in that.. and other kids in other classrooms that I had been with the other teachers would reinforce that and say oh it's fine they can go outside- no it's 32 outside.. they NEED proper attire.. Another thing is from working here I realized if the kids don't have proper sleeping sheets and blankets the kids will be put just in the cot and expected to sleep comfortably and has to sit there and be quiet for the two hours or more... now how would that be comfortable? Or even makes sense. As a teacher: The rules here for the kids I almost laughed when I first heard them because it's so asinine. One rule about when the kids are eating ( the parents are paying for food it's built into the extreme high amount of money it costs to go here) a child can only get about a quarter of a cup of milk, and if the kid spills it at all on accident they can't get anymore because they want to teach them about how milk is expensive. And somehow Appletree that literally brings in over a million dollars can't afford more than a gallon of milk a month.. Yes maybe they kind of seems like someone is trying to teach a good point, but these are little babies! They all spill stuff all of the time and then you're going to hurt their little egos by saying "no I don't care if you accidentally spilled your milk you get no more... " like What?? it's SO sad.. I spill things some times I don't expect someone to say to me oh well you aren't allowed to drink that ever again. Oh but if a directors child or a parent who works at corporate child does it they are allowed as much as they want, as the same for food too, If those kids get hungry they can have more snacks but any other kid - nope! Not allowed at all just have to tell them sorry no YOU can't get any... Little kids are human too and they are not treated nicely at all there. Another thing I learned is the teachers talk about the kids, yes that's expected but they talk SO bad about some... like this kid is ugly. This one is evil. This kid I can't stand. I hate this kid. This one will have this disorder when they are older.. and they say it in FRONT of the kids . That is emotional abuse.. First off- Uneducated teachers who have little experience and schooling. The teachers would be very unhappy from feeling like staff didn't care about them and how they are very VERY underpaid. Most teachers seemed to be here because they didn't know where else to work, which is kind of mind blowing and highlights the fact of uneducated..from working here you don't need experience, nor do you need to be educated at all. And everyone is payed minimum wage.. Very unacceptable to how they handle kids behind closed doors. The staff seems very friendly too but unfortunately they all dislike one another and the directors. All they do is gossip about one another and complain about everything. Also, another thing that was shocking is that they do not have a proper cleaning company, like say at a school that has a janitor or custodial person. The teachers are responsible to clean all of the classrooms at the end of the night and mop the floors with old mops that have to be at least 10 years old and old vacuums that are about the same.

We are greeted each day with warm smiles from ALL of the staff, who truly make us feel welcome, and that our daughter is genuinely cared for. She is excited to go to "school" each day, loves her teachers and friends there, and she's learned SO much! At almost 2.5 years old, she has quite the vocabulary (favorite saying of the moment: "It's aMAzing!"), knows most of her shapes and colors, can recite her abc's, and count past 10, and comes home every day, having learned something new. The center itself is beautiful, very clean and organized, with a wide variety of age-appropriate toys and a super fun playground, split into two sections for the younger and older kids. The administrative staff are very friendly, quickly respond to any questions or needs we have, and do a great job keeping the parents up to date on the various happenings at the center.
