    I would not recommend this daycare to anyone. Management is horrible. The director is OK with her…read moreteachers being rude and bullies. I had a problem with one of the teachers and instead of the director having a conversation with the parents and the teacher she refused. She thought it was a better option to talk to us separately. One of the problems I had with the teacher is she sent my Child's underwear home with literally poop in it. Another problem that I had was knew that my potty trained yet she sent him home in underwear and I didn't know about it until he had an accident. This teacher does not know how to communicate. The way she dresses is inappropriate for a daycare center.I said something to the director her response back to me was this isn't an excuse, but I think she picked up bad habits from the other teacher that was there for years! (She works in the school district now ) my child didn't even belong in this class. It was for the older four-year-old. My kid just turned three in August and when I asked why the teachers weren't moved, so my kid could go to his class that he's supposed to be, I was told she likes the teachers where they're at . if you go on Google the assistant director gave Kids Cottage a five star review yet she has no kids. It's a shame because this place is really nice, but it is ran so poorly by management. Management gossip about other employees to other employees. they even gossip about all the children and the the parents To each other. I literally had a teacher tell me that they all really need to stop gossiping about children to each other . They also will call me and tell me my child has a fever. I'll come pick my child up. Took my child straight to the doctors. No medicine was given and the doctor tells me my child has no fever. My pediatrician told me the same thing about Kids Cottage and another parent has gone through the same thing. I also told the director that I was pulling my oldest child out of there because of this teacher, and because I said that to her she insisted on kicking my baby out as well. I come in there to pick up my children The assistant Director gets in my face will not let me go grab my children deletes me off this app called brightwheel I don't know the last time my baby ate. I don't know the last time my baby was changed. This director treated me like this 5 years ago when this lady decided to grab my child after I told her to get off my child. the director threatens to kick me and my child out one of the teachers literally grabs my child and tells the director to stop that she's scaring the children Never got an apology. Never got talked about it again. I even wrote the owner and never even got a response back. I was even asked last year to write a review on Kids Cottage by management!

    They are very expensive. A lot of hidden fees. We were not impressed with their camp weeks. They…read moredid nothing with my granddaughter in camp that aligned with the week they were promoting. Most the time they just threw my granddaughter outside to play on the playground. On the 3rd day of camp an adult stole my granddaughter's sweater out of her cubby. Kids Cottage "claim" to have working camera's. They were very aware that the sweater was stolen and by whom, they told us so, but refused to do anything to get it back for us or tell us who did it so we could get it back. Also there seemed to be no one monitoring who was coming and going from the daycare. There was no sign in sheet to use when you drop off or picked up your child. There always seemed to be new staff members at the front desk and in the classrooms when we dropped off and picked up our granddaughter. Twice we could not pay for camp week, and had to come back the next day to pay, because the girls at the front desk said they were new and did not know how to take payment. This camp was not a positive experience at all.

    Great service! We had to get a sitter last minute for a wedding and they set us up the day before…read more Sue was incredible with our little one and would definitely recommend to anyone by the New Jersey shore.

    As a mom of three under six who travels regularly with our kids, I'm used to working with agencies…read morein different places. This was the first time that the owner of the agency refused to provide a last name/resume/address/credentials/phone number/ANY VERIFIABLE INFORMATION for the sitter up front. She seemed to take it personally that I didn't take her word for it that her referral was flawless. But again, as a mom of three kids who travels regularly - I've learned the value in validating and doing a basic google search of the person I'm hoping to leave three small children with. On Monday, the owner wrote to me, "XX will reach out with a blocked call to introduce herself, if you miss her call, no worries, she will be there for you all on Saturday." I politely asked for a last name and a phone number, such that I could speak to her in advance of her standing in front of me and my kids before I leave to go to a wedding for six hours. The owner replied telling me no, I could not have any of that information because, "XX is very well established in our organization." Then she tried to push me by saying that there's only one other agency in the area and its not insured in NJ and is so large. This was consistent with the level of professionalism we experienced. By Wednesday morning, I still hadn't heard from the sitter or been given anything that I could independently verify. I emailed the owner to tell her this wouldn't work out. Magically, the sitter calls me within minutes of me hitting send and is now willing to make an exception and share her phone number. By this point (four days before the event), we have made other arrangements with someone willing to let me Google them in advance. This agency's sitters may all be amazing. But I've never once been told by an agency (or a competent babysitter, for that matter) that I can't see a copy of a sitter's CPR certificate, identification, or dated background check. In this day and age, we just can't take the chance and go with a "trust me, I run an agency" approach. Particularly when other reviews of this agency here and elsewhere indicate there have been issues of sitters not showing up or not being professional. The owner texted me to tell me that she would still charge us the sitter referral fee because she DID make a placement and it was my choice to cancel her. She and I have a different opinion on what a placement is - mine isn't "here is the first name of a person." She can keep the $20 though - seems like they need it more than we do. UPDATE: 10/25/2019 1) To re-iterate, we did NOT hire a babysitter and this is a review of the agency's policies, not the babysitter herself, since we found a different babysitter before this agency's sitter called us. 2) To be clear, the owner did not literally say "trust me, I run an agency." Instead, she argued that I did not need to see any supporting documents about the sitter (including her last name, a dated background check, or her phone number) because, as she literally texted to me, "I vet the sitter so clients don't have to." In three states and in five sitter agencies, I have always been sent more information and/or supporting documents or we have chosen not to use that baby-sitting agency. 3) The owner asserts that the babysitter called me several times and just did not leave a message. I do not believe this is true. 4) After texting me "as soon as you remove your yelp statement i will be happy to refund our 20.00 fee for scheduling n canceling a sitter," she did go ahead and refund the fee. To be clear, I did not request this refund. 5) The owner has told me multiple times by text message that she is contacting an attorney "in reference to slander and disrupting business on false pretenses."
