STAY AWAY from Karen and her daycare.
We moved into the neighborhood and visited her daycare for our 18month old little girl. It was close convenient and she seemed sweet and to care for kids.
The first days were rocky, she was unable to tell us if and when she napped, what she ate, but we thought that she needed some time to adjust, going from having 2 kids to care for to 3.
One day she forgot to give her water..during the whole day. I told her that could not happen again, my poor daughter asked me to drink as soon as she saw me. Unfortunately that happened again... we were starting to loose faith. Her house had almost no toys since she had paused because of covid and so we donated a ton of toys to her for the kids to play with. So we looked past the unwelcoming environment, the forgetfulness of Karen but this was nothing compared to what was to come. One Friday, I pick up my daughter and see all of her belongings and the toys that we donated on the front porch. Karen opens the door and tell me that she is stopping, she has financial problems and can no longer do the business... we found out that the other families had left her that week and we were the last standing. She left us no notice, had to look for a turnaround solution and had to take 2 weeks unpaid leave to stay with her awaiting for an opening at a daycare. Boy do we regret choosing her, she is unfit to do this, her glory days are LONG GONE. The kids looked miserable and I am pretty sure that she did nothing with them all day. So unprofessional we are going to report her so that she looses her license and does not hurt anyone else or put families in difficult situations. read more
