We faced many challenges within a short amount of time that resulted with removal from care. We were not informed fast enough to get her team at school on board or to help correct the situation due to lack of communication. The facility is clean, but there are some major concerns that happened with my child that made me feel she was unwanted and that the staff had no training in handling kids with certain needs. There was also high turnover with staff and unfortunately the staff members that worked best with our child were gone.

WORST DAYCARE MY SON HAS EVER BEEN TO! after reading the reviews from years ago I thought maybe…read morethings have changed. I was wrong. The first month of my son being there was okay. The problems began when they started to make it seem as if my child was an issue. They would call everyday about the littlest things that normal kids do. Stating he wasn't safe to be around the other kids, he doesn't listen, etc. mind you my son is 2 years old, this is his 3rd daycare and only this one has said these things. They even offered therapy saying he had a behavior problem. I went though with it because I knew nothing was wrong with my child. After doing the therapy the therapist even stated the problem WAS THE DAYCARE. The owners are rarely ever there to actually sit in on a class and try to work with my child. All the teachers there are under 24 years old and have their own kids there as well. They run from class room to class room. It's really a sh*t show. They would send my son home in other kids clothes even UNDERWEAR WHICH IS DISGUSTING. After noticing that my son had on someone else underwear I asked them could they not do that again they lied and said they were brand new. I've sat outside the classroom and watched from the inside the kids do whatever they want. There's no real structure. When coming to pickup my child I would always be sitting waiting atleast 30 mins for them to bring him out and he never had on what I brought him in. Face dirty asf and they don't help him properly wipe his butt. They honestly need to be looked at more by the state cause this is unacceptable. I've been calling for the last week trying to get the rest of my sons belongings and they claim they can't find them. The irony.

My son was at Kidz Korner from three months old up until about a month before his second birthday…read more I am a first time mom so I didn't have any experience with daycares when I was looking for a place for my son. I do work in healthcare, specifically nursing homes, so I do know what to look for in terms of health and safety. Kidz Korner is a nice looking facility, the landscaping is kept up nicely and the toys are always put away neatly in the play yard. We were very happy with the care at first. Two of the teachers that they had in the infant room, Miss. Jill and Miss. Deb, were EXCELLENT!! I cannot say enough good things about them, really. They were very caring, attentive and friendly. They always had time to talk to a parent about any concerns and they were always so excited to share a milestone or an art project. You could tell that the infants had their undivided attention and were constantly engaged. Your child stays in the infant room until they turn one and then they are transitioned into the toddler room. The toddler room is where we started to notice a breakdown. It seemed like there was a revolving set of teachers in this room and none seemed to know what the other was doing. On several occasions, I'd pick my child up and he'd be in his spare set of clothes. When I would ask why, the response was usually "I don't know. It must have happened earlier in the day." Whenever I would drop off or pick up my child, I noticed that the teachers were not engaged with the kids at all. The kids would be running around playing and the teachers would be standing in a group talking. It went along fine for a while with a few bumps. There was a lice outbreak, several bouts of pink eye, an ant infestation in the toddler room, almost constant runny noses and coughs - but that is to be expected in this type of setting. I think they could have been much cleaner. We were assured by management on several occasions that the toys in the room were disinfected nightly but towards the end of our time at Kidz Korner, one of the teachers admitted that they did NOT disinfect the toys nightly - or hardly at all. At one point one of the teachers had a birthday party for her child, who was also in the toddler room, on a weekday. I thought that was very unprofessional because we then felt obligated to buy this child a present. It's not like we could "opt out" of the party because my child still had to go to daycare that day. We had started getting frequent (a couple of times a week) incident reports that our child was being bitten and reports that he was biting others. At one point he even came home with a bite mark on his cheek where you could clearly see both the upper and lower teeth marks. I didn't make a big deal over it because that's what kids do. They fight, shove, bite, have tantrums - it's the only way they are able to express their anger before they start talking. I didn't think anything of it until I was given a letter from the management staff in January. It stated: "This letter is to inform you that your child is being CONSIDERED for disenrollment due to biting. According to our records show that (child's name) has bit 6 times. Our policy is no more than three allowed." When I questioned the manager about this behavior and how it was being addressed, she told me they would separate the biter and give him or her a time out. I told her that he doesn't bite at home and she looked me straight in the eye and said: Oh, I'm sure he learned it here. So they were considering the disenrollment of my child for a bad habit that they admitted that he learned at their facility. That seemed very wrong to me. My husband and I immediately started looking at other facilities in the area, just in case. The next week I got a call in the AM from Kidz Korner saying that I had to come get my son because he bit someone. We went to get him and they told us that he couldn't come back. There was no discussion, no talk of other methods of discipline, nothing. They didn't even take us into a private area to discuss it. They announced his dismissal right out in the open, in front of other parents. It was so embarrassing that I wanted to cry. I asked how much time we had to find other placement for him and the manager said: "Oh no, he can't come back." When we got home I pulled out their policy book that we were given and there is no rule about biting. There is a very detailed discipline process for behaviors outlined step by step that they did not follow, in our case. Our child has been in his new daycare for a month and there has not been one report of biting. I now have no doubt that Kidz Korner was not properly monitoring the children, keeping them engaged and involved in activities. I would not recommend Kidz Korner.
