Please don't take your little ones here!! I enrolled my daughter at Windsong Childcare in July of…read more2015. Windsong Childcare is an in-home care facility located off of Pattee Canyon in Missoula, MT. The owner of the daycare is Barbara Fowler. She has been in business for over 30 years. In Sept my husband and I received a call from my child's daycare explaining that our 9-month daughter had been in accident in a wagon and that she needed to go get checked out at the ER. We were initially told that that her and a few kids were playing in a wagon in the backyard, when one child rapidly got out of the wagon causing the wagon to tip over. My daughter was knocked out of the wagon and she had hit her head on the wagon. When I saw her she had quite the bump on her forehead, she also had some scrapes that appeared like road rash. I instantly questioned how she would have road rash if this happened in a grassy back yard, but at that time all I could worry about was if she was going to be alright. Thankfully within a few hours she was released to go home, but was to be strictly monitored for 24 hrs. Incase of concussion. When I got home I called the daycare to let them know Ryan's status. I told her that I understood that accidents were bound to happen and the daycare owner said, " I told them that we have a bunch of little ones around and that if they needed my help, they were to come get me." That comment didn't sit very well with me, to me it admitted some sort of negligence. That next day I pulled my daughter out of the daycare. About two weeks later I went to get my hair done. I was telling my hairdresser about the situation and she cut me off. Her exact words were " Do not tell me this happened up Pattee Canyon." Of course I was shocked that she knew what I was talking about considering very few people knew about the incident. I sat there shocked as she told me that her mutual client almost hit the wagon. I asked how her client almost hit the wagon if this incident happened in her backyard? She said that her client was driving down Pattee Canyon, when a wagon that had 3 babies in it came speeding down the daycare owners extremely steep driveway, sped in front of the car, hit the curb, and a baby came falling out. That baby was our daughter. So many thoughts and emotions crossed my mind. How can someone just blatantly lie to us about our daughter's accident? I did not believe what I heard until I later talked to the witness. She confirmed what she saw. The witness said that she contacted the police, but could not wait for them to arrive. My next thought was why the heck was I not informed? I contacted the police department and they told me that the only thing that was filed was an incident report. It was up to the dispatched officer to fill out a complete report and based on his findings, the daycare followed the right protocol. I then contacted CPS and the State licensing Dept. It turned out that the reason I had not been informed of the accident was because the daycare owner never reported the incident. In Montana daycare facilities are required by law to report any incident to the State when a child has an accident at the facility and requires medical attention. The State licenser did let me know that she was aware of the incident but only after showing up at the facility to follow up on another incident that had taken place their a week before. When she showed up she was asked by the daycare worker, which incident the licensor was there to report on. The Licensor was not aware there had been two incidents. The licensor informed me that Barbara now knew that going forward" she was to report any incident that happened at her facility. A few months have passed and each time I tell this story the thoughts and feelings come flooding back as if this all happened yesterday. This incident is still under investigation with CPS and the Licensing Dept. We are so so fortunate and thankful that God was watching over our little one. We all know that the outcome could have been much different. I am not sharing this story to be spiteful or to get revenge. I am simply sharing this story so other parents are aware of what kind of childcare facilities are out there "taking care" of our children.

I was told by my local Y beforehand that as long as I had my membership card with me, I could use any Y in the US without issue. Upon presenting my card at the front desk, the kid there was unable to look up my membership back home in WA because the internet was down but let me in for free upon signing a non-liability waiver, which was fine. I found the facility to be quite dated and subpar with more modern Ys and the track was small in scale. Too many different rooms to use the machines and quite crowded to be honest. Nice clean environment otherwise.

This doesn't even cover the direct harm that was documented in relation to my son, and relayed to me by multiple staff members. Yes, a 'plan of correction' was submitted, but as long as Katie West and Amelia Logan run this place, your child is not safe (unless you work there, or you're on the board of directors, then you kids will get preferential treatment). The positive changes that occurred when I removed my son from this center were remarkable - eating, sleeping, behaving, talking better. The behavioral psychologist my son saw for weeks as a result of the actions of this center agreed that the behavior changes she observed are due to his removal from such a harmful environment. My son is THRIVING at his new daycare. Shame on you, Fort Courage Childcare. Shame on the board of directors for protecting them. I will never forgive myself for leaving my son with you to be harmed.
