Hi there folks. I am here to give a review of my experience with a local daycare. My daughter has…read moresensory perception disorder. Which means that my daughter can be easily overwhelmed with outside stimulus and can require extra care and patience to work through things. We have made every attempt to communicate this with the AHA Daycare staff and the majority of them have been absolutely accommodating. However, the director who has been involved in childcare since day one has not been following the recommended program by a behavior specialist regarding my daughter's issues. This woman has been simply putting my daughter in a room to have her "temper tantrums" because she didn't like a three year old screaming. She has stated that my daughter "has no empathy" in regards to her outbursts. Furthermore, she has been informed that this is not an appropriate way to deal with my child but she continued to deal with her outbursts in this manner. The other day when I went to pick my daughter up I saw how this director Toni Petch handled my daughter on a daily basis. I walked up to the gate to the outside play area and could hear my daughter screaming and making a bunch of noise. She was obviously having a problem with something. Toni came towards my daughter and yelled at her to "stop it". My daughter became even more upset and began screaming even more. Toni then picked up my daughter and held her with my daughter hanging over Toni's arm screaming. I watched her walk away and my daughter hanging from Toni's arm facing me and began screaming for her father when she saw me. I opened the gate and watched Toni sit down with my daughter at the picnic table in their playground and restrain her by placing her arms around my daughter in a hug not letting her move. I then walked up to Toni and told her that "you know, it doesn't help her when you react like that to her outbursts". What followed next was absolutely unexpected. This woman began yelling at me about how my daughter was absolutely unmanageable and how this daycare had done everything they could to accommodate my daughter. I had kept a calm demeanor this entire time even after seeing how this person had basically manhandled my daughter during one of her outbursts. I encourage any of you looking to this place for childcare with a kid that requires extra care or following a behavior plan to consider somewhere else. I've already reported this daycare to the state and I will be leaving this review on every single avenue that I can. Not only did this person handle my daughter in an inappropriate way, this daycare neglected to tell myself or my wife about issues that involved my daughter. We never got a report at the end of the day about how my daughter had behaved until we heard about how my daughter had bit someone's kid. Apparently my daughter had been doing that for a while and they didn't even tell us about the first time! I am beyond appalled with this daycare and I regret ever bringing her there. The way that the director handled me telling her to not manhandle my child was ridiculous, and the fact that I had to stand there and get yelled at for calling her out on it was even more ridiculous. This daycare has been reported to the state and I have made an effort to make sure that the state knows that this Toni has been an absolutely terrible caregiver. Especially because she has done the exact opposite of what she has been told needed to happen to help my daughter process things. I would never recommend this place
