This started out a better daycare than where we were at previously and the little things started to add up. First off if you think you will be able to drop your child off at 6:45am at opening time then you are mistaken. The assistant director thinks that coming late is acceptable. After I informed the director she assured me that the problem would be fixed, it wasn't. Apparently arriving in the parking lot at 6:45 and then meandering in, is being on time. On multiple occasions my child has been placed in front of a tv while they "clean" in the middle of the day. Someone is always on their phone instead of interacting with my child. I have never see any learning activities going on. We started in October 2017 and the March circle time calendar was still up in the 2 year old room. There is no real communication with parents. We ask how she does for the day and we are always told good and then later find out that she was upset or crying. The daily sheets they send home always have the same 3 activities circled on it library, music, numbers for months. She always comes home filthy, not talking a little messy but still having food on her face from lunch because no one wipes her fadThe final kicker was my child was outside playing on one end of the playground area, which has high grass in it still, while 3 teachers sat together talking on the other end. Within 30 seconds of waking to my car realized my daughter had a rock in her mouth that she was chewing on that no one noticed for who knows how long. When I called to discuss the matter I was never apologized to nor was I asked if my child was ok, instead I was called a liar. They said they don't have rocks in their playground area. I immediately pulled my child. Oh and did I mention my husband and I both work in education.
So update since posting my negative review on their Facebook page they had 6 more positive reviews added after mine, coincidence I think not. Then after adding the written portion of my review within an hour the entire review section was deleted. Oh fun fact too the ratio for 1 years is 1:5 and they only have 2 teachers but regularly have 11 or 12 kids in the room.
I also suggest you look up this daycare and any that you plan on having your child attend and see all of the violations they have during inspections. This includes, having staff that don't have clearances, broken toys, people not washing hands, not properly storing food, etc. It's all public record.
