I cannot recommend this daycare, either as an employer or for childcare…read more As an employee, I experienced multiple unauthorized wage deductions. They charged me for my own background check -- which by law should be covered by the employer. They also deducted childcare costs from my paycheck, even though the state had already confirmed that my childcare was fully covered due to my low income from this job. When I raised these issues, management refused reimbursement. Staff are also required to purchase uniform shirts out of pocket; I bought brand new shirts that were never used, one day prior to them letting me go after bringing up saftey concerns and the daycare still refused to take them back. On top of that, teachers are expected to work even when sick, I had hand foot mouth from one of the kids, they sent someone to get me mouth wash and expected me to work as normal.. which puts both staff and children at risk. As a parent, I had safety concerns. My child was bitten, and administration had to review video footage just to determine what happened. A similar incident occurred with another child in her class only days before. The center is consistently understaffed, and management offers little help or accountability. Between the unprofessional employment practices, unsafe staffing policies, and lack of adequate supervision for children, I would strongly encourage both families and potential employees to look elsewhere. *this is specific to the alliance location, however part of my experience was with Justin Evans & he owns them all**

It would be much cheaper to drop him off somewhere where they'll put him in front of a TV all day. So I spend 150 a week at the YMCA. You'd think if you were expressing concerns about bullying going on not only but students but a particular staff member saying extremely inappropriate mean things to your son such as "I don't know how anyone can even deal w/ a kid like you" you'd be met with equal concern and goals for resolution. Not the Alliance YMCA, both Lindsay the child care director and Rich the executive director (leaving in a few weeks) both decided to turn this into an attack against my son who "may not be a good fit for the YMCA" . I tell my son to stand near staff to avoid the chance of getting into a fight w/ someone who wants to bully, and the staff member sends him to the back of the line telling him she can't deal w/ him or something along those lines. If anyone knows my kids, they aren't bad. I don't even let my 12 year old watch R rated movies. I hear him play video games online so I know he doesn't have a vulgar mouth beyond a 12 year old w/ a sense of humor. Instead of focusing on preventing bullying and resolving the issue, all they cared about was fighting me on what day they wanted to suspend my son. (Which punishes me more than him as I pay for the service so I can not have my work affected)

Over the last few months I've seen a lot of posts asking advice on childcare etc. in green and I…read morethought it'd be worth it to share my own story just in case anyone else out there starts to feel defeated and or doesn't know what to do. Just a little over two months ago my son started at Once Upon a Daycare (right behind Jersey's) in green and I cannot tell you the night and day difference I have seen with him. While atkas is only 2, he has shown many milestone delays, especially with speech, as well as showing several austisic traits. With all of that said-- Miss Rosie has such incredible knowledge with the extra help that he has needed and I have found myself able to breathe a little bit again. I cannot say great enough things about finding this place and Miss Rosie-- but if you're looking for an affordable, helpful, fun place for your kid to go I highly recommend Once Upon a Daycare!

We have been going to Once Upon a Daycare for a year now and have been thrilled with the results. It has worked for our family in so many ways. The early start and late end have helped our family maintain our working schedules and to not have to worry about the kids is a weight off my shoulders. Rosie has been able to provide My wife and I with quality, worry-free, cost effective daycare and preschool. I would highly recommend Once upon a Daycare to any one who would ask me.
