The lack of empathy for parents , they only care about their teachers safety and not the children. I never in my life heard about two weeks suspension for a 3 year old child. They are not professional, they don't work with the parents at all is like they don't care. The teachers sit there and watch children hit each other they are under staff no wonder they only have 2 stars I don't not recommend this school at all. Im currently looking for a daycare if any parents see this please point me to a good direction. read more

My son loves it here. They do a good job communicating. I also love that everyone in the building knows who my son is. I can tell that he is loved and cared for here. I've heard some negative reviews but i've never had any issues with this place. read more

I had an extremely disappointing and frustrating experience with this center. The administration team, Jessica, Stephanie, and April, are profoundly dishonest, lacking any semblance of integrity, trustworthiness, organization or professionalism. They consistently misrepresent their practices and fail to address serious concerns. The center is frequently out of ratio, leading to overcrowded and chaotic environments. This results in an ineffective and detrimental learning environment for the children. Moreover, they hire staff who are clearly unqualified and have no understanding of childhood development. This center is a constant revolving door of new staff that come and go and do trial runs on the children. No child should be a practice child for anyone. Children need consistency not unpredictability. The administration team is not open to any constructive feedback to help improve this center. Matter of fact, if you voice your concerns, as I have multiple times, they will take it personal and retaliate against you in any way they can. They discourage teachers from communicating to parents and being honest with them about this center's true practices. In fact, if you happen to ask about your child's day while a certain admin is in the room, like April, they will physically move right next to you and the teacher, and start yelling/screaming/singing extremely loud where you can't even hear your own thoughts. Here are some very selected few examples of things I have experienced here. 1) The ceiling collapsed in the infant room while the children were there and admin prevented staff from informing parents. The only reason admin eventually informed parents was because I saw it myself when I walked into the room, I threatened to sue them, reported them to the state, and it collapsed again the next day with the babies in the room because they failed to repair it properly the first time. 2) my children have been returned to me dirty and soiled with DRIED stool in their diaper. 3) my child's coat was missing upon pick up. My child had to go home with no coat in the winter. I spoke to admin (April). The next day it was magically appeared. Turns out it was accidentally put on another child and this same person, April, told the parent of the child and teachers to lie and say it was misplaced instead of just being honest. Here is what you can expect when walking in the center: either someone is sitting at the front desk or not. If not, expect random strangers to come into the building following parents inside. If someone is there, they are either having very personal and inappropriate conversations amongst each other, including the admin and teachers they have a personal relationship with (don't expect to get greeted when you walk in either) or your child may be sitting in the front because 1) a teacher does not feel like dealing with that certain child or 2) they are out of ratio in the classrooms and somehow sitting in the front desk with admin equals being inside the classroom. The only reason I kept my children in here for as long as I have is because other places had extremely long waitlist, and fortunately there were some teachers who truly cared about my children (especially, Ms. Lisa, Ms. MeeMee, Ms. Kayla, Ms. Liz, and Ms. Natasha, all from different time periods). However, this admin team cannot retain staff. They either fire them because they advocate in the best interest of the children and speak up against admin, or they leave because they do not want to wish to continue to partake in this zoo. I have also observed admin bully and speak to staff in a poor demeanor, while allowing other staff members to get away with being physically aggressive to the children. I strongly advise against enrolling your child here. Here, your child is treated like a business transaction. So many parents complain and pull their children out of here, which does not phase them because they know they can simply fill that spot with someone else, in which the cycle starts again. STAY AWAY from here. read more

Worst daycare tour I've ever experienced, upon doing a walk through the admin (April) took me classroom to classroom starting with the infants room where I notice 3 teachers in the class one was feeding 2 children another teacher changing diapers and another sitting on the carpet toward the corner facing the door. One baby was crying and crying and crying an I looked into the room while (April proceeded to speak and I noticed the teacher flicking the child's hand two times. In total disbelief I continued to do the walk through & when we approached the next classroom All I heard was screaming from a teacher to a child when she noticed we were looking into the door window her finger was pointed towards the child's face (April ) heard it herself and ignored what she seen. When I asked (April) is this something that happens often she ignored my question, I looked toward my husband and he tapped my back to proceed. We continued the walk through simply because at this point it wasn't to enroll my children but to see how the center is ran. We make our way up to the second floor and we passed the first room (preschool 1) it seemed okay until a boy wouldn't sit in his seat so the teacher gripped the little boys wrist and snatched him from the ground and forcefully sat him in his seat. By this time my husband and I had seen enough. I informed (April) that my husband and I love the look of the center and we would speak about what we want to do. We left and have never returned. I do not recommend children being placed in this center for the safety and well being of your child. read more

Very unprofessional, no emphathy for parents and children. Would definitely not recommend and owner is unprofessional.

I truly do not recommend this place if you have a very active child. They will not tolerate your child and will make a paper trail on your child to have your child removed! I feel that they only want to deal with children who are calm. I've never experienced this in a daycare until now. My son was kicked out of this daycare because he is super active and as the stated aggressive. I know my son and his intention is no never hurt anyone, he is just a boy and a bit rough. Instead of trying to mold him or seeking staff members who are willing or equipped to handle a child more active than the average, they simply said your son won't excel here. They even insinuated that my son may have a behavior disorder and brung in a staff member who son is autistic to speak to me. When I spoke to his pediatrician, she stated like many of people who know my child, that their notion is absurd and they are just trying to label my son. I feel they have a lot of growing to do at that place and wish them well since they are a very new daycare at this specific location but I do not recommend them at all! read more
