This daycare may had received some good reviews in the past years, but recently I'm questioning its leadership's management skills. Most of the teachers that I know are kids-friendly, but one teacher has to care for so many infants and/or toddlers in each classroom, more than any one person could handle. When I asked the director about the ratio of staff per number of students, she was always so vague. I feel really sorry for the teacher, and for my child as well, every time I saw one teacher has to care for 10-11 kids, and almost all of them are sick with a bad cold. That's why the regular teacher was out sick for 1-2 days every 1-2 weeks too. Oftentimes, I would see a new teacher whenever the main teacher was out sick, and none of the new teachers even bother to introduce themselves to me. Sometimes, I even wondered if they could speak English because they didn't seem to understand me whenever I asked them questions about my child for the day.
I often picked my child up with a heavy heart every day because she was always dirty all over, like a homeless child who was abandoned on the street. I paid them so much money every week for my child's attendance there, but the services that my child received not worth the high costs that they charged me. Several times, I heard the assistant director reprimanded the same teacher right in the middle of the hallway, which was so unprofessional. I must admit that I really had an issue with this daycare's assistant director. You can tell right away that she wears a fake face when talking to you and she is extremely bossy to the nice teachers there. One time, she even yelled at the director about something that they were arguing about. Personally, I don't see her poor professionalism would fit with her position.
I know it's hard to find a perfect daycare, but there should be many better daycares out there for your child than this one. Just keep looking and switching (if needed) until you feel the services your child receives at any daycare is at least 70% worth the money that you pay them. read more
