My daughter has been going here for about a year and we love the staff here. They all know her…read morename and give her hugs and stuff. They really work well with the kids. It's a clean facility and they do a lot of activities for the kids. I like how they have several rooms per age, so you don't have to worry about big Kids being with the little kids. I know that the workers that work with the babies have to wear shoe covers. They have monthly calendar that each day something special for kids to do like: pajama day, silly sock day, superhero day, water day, etc. They do a lot of crafts. The room is full of educational toys and charts. That's just a few of the things I've noticed. They are punctual the facility opens up right at 6 am. My only issue if I could find one would be the price - it's kind of expensive. We don't qualify for any vouchers or assistance. But you get what you pay for and I think it's about fair running with other places just a little bit more than we are use to paying. They have a huge gated play area. The doors to the faculty is always locked, you have to punch in your code to get in.

Terrible facility. First, the turnover rate with teachers is horrible. All the good ones my child…read morehad left. We had about 4 different teachers in the year we were enrolled. My child did not always like to go and for good reasons. There was no structure at drop off and they would have one or two teachers overseeing at least 20 kids of different age groups. There were a couple of teachers who actually taught the kids some things, but they left within a few weeks. They did not intervene when some kids were getting too physical or verbally abusive with others. We also started getting charged more one month without warning and when I asked if there was a mistake, they said my child was not potty trained and therefore, they moved her back into the class with younger kids. Not only does that not help with development, they also GUARANTEED they would potty train the kids and then make uneducated decisions and prevent your child from being with kids their age because THEY FAILED your kid or barely tried to train them. And charging parents more for their failures is unacceptable. The director, Mrs Felicia, was the worst of them. She will not actually listen to your concerns and blatantly lied to me. And the teachers LIE about how much your kid is eating. I would watch my kid on the classroom cameras and most times, she did not eat, and yet, the teachers would mark that she ate all her food (as I am literally watching her throw her barely touched plate). My daughter was not feeling well once and was literally laying on one of the classroom tables for about 2 hours. The "teacher" did not once go check on her. In the meantime, I was able to to get off of work to go get her and, when I arrived, the teacher had the audacity to tell me she checked on her and had just told the front office to call me to pick her up. This was a lie because, again, she did not go check on her. So she lie to my face even though I told her I was watching the live feed this entire time. Do yourself a favor and stay away from that facility. They DO NOT CARE about your children. The ones who do leave or are not given enough opportunities to help your child. They should not be allowed to be in business until they replace 90% of their staff, including the director.

She did not like taking naps and Malena complained about this to me on several occasions. While I realize this can be a distraction, I feel there are very simple solutions to this situation if you actually try. Instead, Malena would get angry with my daughter and show it outwardly. The real problem, and the reason I'm leaving this review, is what was also the last straw for my daughter being picked up and never brought back. I received a call mid-morning and Malena left a voicemail stating that my daughter just "would not take a nap even after being held down for a half hour." Malena held my child down to force her to go to sleep. Once I got there she said that I could bring her back the next day and we could try again, I told her "no, we won't be back," and we weren't.

This is a child that was told to go to an adult for help, that he would be protected and they called him a liar! TO HIS FACE by multiple teachers!!!! They are not prepared to handle children that have big personalities or attention issues much less a child with advanced needs. The owner is openly suggestive to have you put your child on "a pill" if she feels they are too talkative. They do not respond to request for parent-teacher meetings to resolve issues.
