Unfortunately my 11 week old was not attended to very well. He only spent one week at the facility…read morebut 4 out of the 5 days we picked him up he was crying. The 5th day was my breaking point as my baby was hysterically crying, I could here him from the moment I walked in the front door. When I got to him he was drenched in sweat and the care taker (there was only one person in the room at the time) was putting another baby in a swing. This day was the first time my baby had ever cried actual running tears, I'm sure he had been screaming crying for over 15 minutes at the very least as there were beads of sweat and tears running down his face and his back was drenched as well. I decided that I couldn't leave him in their care any longer as I felt he was neglected. Because I had only had him there for one week I asked for a refund of the following week of care but I was denied a refund. I understand that there is a company policy of a two week notice but there is no way I could allow my child to be in a daycare that allows him to cry to the point of being inconsolable. I explained our situation as a military family and soon to be a one income family if they could please make an exception for these circumstances and they did not. I would not recommend this daycare for any infants, the only time they have face to face time with a caretaker is when they are being fed and burped, other than that they are corralled in and out of swings, bouncers and their cribs. The state has mandated a 1:5 ratio but kareer kids was grandfathered in to have a 1:6 ratio, the care takers are clearly overwhelmed.

My daughter went here for only a month, second week in she came home with a HORRIBLE diaper rash!…read moreThen this current week she came home with a bruised bite mark on her arm. I never was told anything about it. I then called the same day to see what happened and no one could tell what happened because apparently no one knew. Brought her in that morning told the teacher I would like to atleast talk to the director and check camera so I can find out what happened and why my 10 month old wasn't being watched like I am paying them to do. I come back after work to get her, I ask the director about it and she has no idea what happened. I asked to see the cameras she tells me no and then starts to yell in my face in front of other parents and staff members. The OWNER/ DIRECTOR is yelling at me and being rude towards me because I demand to know why my baby has a bruise and no one can tell me why. She refused to give me any kid of incident report on it either. I will never take her back to this place and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
