My son attended many daycares before we found YCLC. Since starting there I have seen so many…read morepositive changes in him. He thrives on the positive reinforcement and structure his teachers give him. The center is very well run, organized and consistent. I could not ask for a better child care experience. I plan to keep him in YCLC until he is school-age, as they have a certified preschool program. I am so thankful for the experience we have had at YCLC. There is nothing more amazing that dropping your child off every day fully knowing they are in caring, capable hands that will nurture, teach and guide him.

My second daughter came home with a black eye one day, & they blamed it on ME even though my daughter was almost 5 years old & told me it happened AT SCHOOL on the playground (so why hide it?), my kids have been picked up MANY TIMES with poop diapers on, they're always hungry when picked up, the staff is SUPER rude most of the time unless ,, they close down MULT, but days for holidays that most companies don't even get a day off for, like the Fourth of July for example, they never keep the teachers that are actually diligent in their jobs & enjoy them, & they could care less that you haven't been able to work & will call you 20 minutes before you're usually dropping off the kids go let you know, hey, you can't drop off your kids if you don't pay us immediately even though they've already been paid for the MAJORITY of my payment through the government & I also explained I haven't been working (I own my own business & have lost clients) but the director could care less & has 0% sympathy.. this is RIGHT AFTER I had a doctors appointment at 8, called them & asked if I could drop off my kids by 9:30 but I was told no, because it was an appointment for myself but I PAY FOR THEIR SERVICES. I should be able to drop off my kids whenever I damn well please & not be harassed for payment in the same swoop.

My son was enrolled here for 8 months. I enrolled him when he was 18 months. The location was…read moreconvenient and they had openings for his age group. Also my 13 year old niece attended this center when she was a toddler so I felt comfortable. Boy oh boy was I in for a huge disappointment! I don't even know where to begin. After the third month of enrollment, I started looking for a new facility to place my son. It took another 3 months to find somewhere I felt was suitable and we had to wait 2 more months until the fall semester before he could start there. Hence the 8 months stay at gateway. So this place has an incredible staff turn over. In the 8 months my son was there, literally 8 staff members left or quit or were fired. It was unbelievable! Every few weeks we would get an email informing us that miss so and so is no longer with the center and miss xyz will be starting soon. Sure enough as soon as miss xyz started the cycle would repeat. There was one teacher who was there in the mornings when I dropped my son off and she smelled like marijuana. It blew my mind! How the heck do you come to work at 7am with the stench of weed? The facility opens at 6:30 but is never staffed. I usually dropped my son off at 7am and there was only one teacher there. All the kids from all age groups had to stay with her until the other teachers wandered in between 8:30 and 9am. I'm pretty sure thats a state violation. I came to drop my son off one morning and the teacher was sitting in the classroom moisturizing her feet and taking great care to concentrate on her heels. I was grossed out and pissed. She did wash her hands afterwards but I don't feel that this should have been done at the table where the kids eat their meals. When you have a question for one of the teachers the only response you get is 'I don't know mom. I wasn't there this morning. I just came into the class 30 minutes ago.' At one point I just stopped asking. I brought bug spray to be used on my son. Of course it was NEVER applied. He came home every day with huge bumps from insect bites. The next day I would remind the teacher hey there is bug spray and a permission slip for my son, and l would pick him up again with you guessed it.....bug bites. So I started to drop him off with long pants only. If I did put shorts on him I would douse him with spray when I dropped him off. So they boast water play every Friday in the summer. The first official day, I dropped my son off with his swim clothes, and a change of clothes and his shoes in a bag. I come to pick him up early (thank god) because he has an appointment and he's in the class barefoot. Ok so I'm livid. The teacher said to me 'you didn't send a change of clothes or shoes for him.' I said yes. I gave it to the teacher this morning when I dropped him off. And she said " Well I don't start till 9 so I don't know." Ok that's besides the point. If you think I didn't bring a change of clothes and shoes why on earth didn't you call me and say hey mom we need shoes for your baby? Are you that dense? All the while the bag with my son's clothes and shoes were sitting on his cubby! So my sons last day was on Fri August 24th. I go back to gateway on Monday the 27th to pick up the rest of his belongings and the expensive SSS bug spray that they never bothered using on him. The spray is no where to be found. Only the permission slip and bag that held the spray are in the bin. One teacher asks another if she's seen the spray and she replies "its in my bag." I'm thinking it's in a bag with other odds and ends with class room stuff. Well just when I thought this place and the staff couldn't get lower the teacher comes and retrieves the spray from her purse. She said to me she had to put it up or they would throw it out. I take the bottle and it's pretty much empty. I'm wondering why because the spray was never used on my son. I was so pissed and disgusted. When does this place hit bottom? I could go on and on about this place with all the stories I heard from other parents but I guess it wouldn't make a difference. I'm so glad my son is out of there. Today was his fourth day at his new daycare and he's doing so well. If I could give any advice or would be to stay away from gateway.

I addressed the situation when I walked in and was lied too that she "wasn't talking to her". The truth was admitted when I came back to figure out what really happened. She was talking to my daughter and was just frustrated. I was told that this girl was still in training. This should not be an excuse to talk to ANY child this way. I seen this with my eyes and heard. This daycare dismissed my 2 year old child's well-being as a training error. I'm highly unsatisfied. After her admitting, I felt as if my concerns and questions on what was to be done were dismissed and ignored again. Parents bring their children trusting these workers in watching kids. This daycare knowingly hires people who are not equipped to fulfill this job role. My daughter has cried and begged not to go back. Please be aware everyone.
