I am sorry that Bianca B did not approach me and let me know of her concerns. I take pride in knowing that my educators are engaged with the children throughout the day whether it be through academic centers or free play. I see children with happy faces engaging with their peers, I see educators interacting with the children, becoming excited as the children accomplish a new task, offering comfort and love when the children need that extra hug. Again, I apologize to Bianca B and I wish that she had approached me with her concerns. I most certainly would have addressed them. I have been working with children and parents since 1991 and I truly love what I do.

We did have some conflict about breastfeeding but eventually they complied with state law and allowed me to feed my child in the room before leaving for the day. For our second baby, we were put on a waiting list but had to make other arrangements because the wait was so long that she aged out. Infant care is extremely expensive to provide due to state-mandated ratios, so I think many places in our area do not bother to offer it, or have only a few spots. I don't think having a long waiting list is a reason to say a particular daycare is terrible, though, because they are all in the same boat. I am pretty confident the waiting list is fair and unrelated to religion or special circumstances (other than younger siblings, which are ahead on the list), it's just a reality of the costs in our area.

I keep calling and they say it will be taken care of soon, so hasn't happened yet. It is very irresponsible from Cadence to eat up money that way.

Also they didn't do any progress reports of any kind my son was ALWAYS sick and by always I mean every week he had something new was sent home sick. He go in perfect and come home at night with a fever and cough. He came home dirty and don't get me wrong I am ok with him being dirty but not with his breakfast and lunch still on his face neck hair when I pick up. He has reacted to all types of diapers except one which I provided half a box not even 3 days later I was told he had no diapers at the center so they used someone else's diapers on him. Sure enough that night he had a huge rash. The last straw that really hurt me the most was I went in on a Thursday his first day back after being sent home sick Tuesday that pinkeye was positive in his classroom but that the teacher had clean and disinfected everything 3 days went by so I was happy nothing happened I thought they cleaned but no they hadn't Monday afternoon at pick up Halloween day I notice his eyes were very red and he had discharge if this is they case when I pick up and he was how he was why didn't they call me to inform me he had possibly got pinkeye I would have left school to go get him early. Multiple times I have gone to pick him up and no one great me at the door many staff walked by without checking to see if I was getting helped or if they knew I was there. I watched my child get attacked by 3 children and nothing happened they didn't even check my son who ended up with a small bruise on his back from the kids sitting on top of him. It got to the point he would scream and cry at drop off wouldn't let me go. They do have cameras which is why I thought it was going to be a good choice but my son was not there a year and I would NEVER send another child there after this honestly.

A neighbor suggested Wee Care and we originally intended daycare to be only a temporary solution. But we were so amazed at the loving environment, the caliber of the childcare providers and educators and the quality of the curriculum for all age groups that we decided to move to full time, permanent care for our baby. Then we also moved our preschooler into their program full time (we moved her out of another local program and into Wee Care). It's been the best decision our family ever could have made. The school follows a curriculum that integrates art, science, music & movement, technology, creative play and social skills. Our daughter is now full time in Pre-K at Wee Care and we are so amazed at what she's learning each and every week. We feel she will be more than prepared to begin Kindergarten next year. The school also does a fantastic job creating a close knit community with events for families (a Halloween party, holiday pot luck, end of year party, etc.). There are also fun special events for the kids throughout the year. The quality of both the childcare and education at Wee Care is second to none. There is usually a wait list to get in here, and it's very clear why!!
