From day 1 I had to teach the teachers how to be teachers to my child because apparently they hire…read morepeople with little to no experience, they made me and my children feel like outcasts, I've witnessed things that made me feel like we were treated differently and judged based off not only the color of our skin, but also our finances, and my age. I was never addressed in a professional manner, I was always called girl or girlie which I found to be very belittling. My charges never added up and when I would ask for more detailed statements I never received anything. I asked for a meeting the first or second month of my children being enrolled here and they never scheduled one they just kept pushing it off to "talk to the teachers first" and just assumed I forgot about it. They talked down on me as if I was illiterate or beneath them. I witnessed and endured disrespect and lack of professionalism from a teacher and the owner on multiple occasions and the icing on the cake was being yelled at, and berated by the owner within earshot of every parent coming and going because they denied me the opportunity to speak with my child on the phone and I did not appreciate that. I've bit my tongue for months but no more of that. The price wasn't worth the experience, I'm so glad to be out of there.

Yet, he came home with bite marks on a daily. The classrooms have too many kids and it was causing him anxiety. I asked the director about it and she said the kids were biting him out of retaliation ..What?? What 2 year old knows how to retaliate??? This daycare is a joke. The director is a joke!! The only good thing that came out of this...now I get to watch my grandson and give him the care he deserves. They just didn't want to deal with him because there were too many kids in his class.
