I worked here for a few days. I quit without a second thought. They overwork their staff, which is…read morewhy they're always getting and losing new staff members. They go over the ratio of allowed kids per classroom. They don't provide any actual activities for kids to do 80% of the time. The classroom calendar on their wall? Yeah that's a lie. Your kid will spend 80% of their time being yelled at, dealing with the unruly kids we weren't allowed to report, probably getting hurt due to how overcrowded and understaffed the rooms are, being fed awful food that barely fits health standards and playing with worn toys. We aren't allowed to write injury reports, even for head injuries, for some inane reason. Or rather, a day care worker will request one and we'll never get it. I dont even understand why this daycare is overcrowded. Even the kids know there is a larger Jamboree daycare down the road in San Benito they could be at. If you leave your kid here, they will be miserable.

We were so impressed with how responsive our son has been when attending. The interaction and attention given to each child really makes a difference. They even help with potty training, what a blessing. Much thanks to this staff, we highly recommend this day care to anyone. We were lucky enough to find this day care when we were visiting south texas last year. If they are in your area, sign your child up or get on the waiting list, it's soooo worth it.
