She knows all of the children by name and keeps up with all the details on what's going on with each student every single day. The classes are small, the children have a set curriculum and schedule, but there is plenty of time for fun. So far, I have been very pleased.

When u brought my grandson I explained I had recently got custody of him he had issues but not diagnosed yet please work with me! He was sent home several times "soiled", my son wakes up on him being "scolded" for letting his nose run and not wiping it, boo boo in his undies and all I asked was some one ensure he wipes his butt when done because he still learning, several scars and bruises "unexplained" finally after numerous complaints to the directors they wanted me to come get him if he don't sit down or stop crying and every thing I complained about I was given and excuses for never know, accountability was held on the teachers. Also, I found out there was like one teacher watching over 20 quids at times that's too many for one person even if the child doesn't have any disabilities, so after thinking, they was gonna work with me because I was working with the disability at a local school to get him in, I got a letter that they was like with his last day of this day. I didn't wanna send him back because he was coming home with too many bumps and bruises and issues so I literally paid for five days that he didn't even go. it's not the whole staff, but they really need to get more staffed. It's more family that works there and people help out what they can. The toys are outdated or broken, it needs a new makeover. Ultimately go for yourself make unexplained, unexpected visits and see for yourself. miss Sammy is a guy sent. She's very helpful. Try to help the kids with the most issues and she is what hoes that place together and they do her even bad in my opinion.

I voiced my concerns in detail and have waited 2 weeks for a response. I won't be too specific as I understand that my experience is contextual but if I were a parent I would be aware of the following The Lack of tangible progress and documentation; what the sold as curriculum is NOT what we saw. Insufficient engagement and educational activities; observed periods were often filled with unstructured time and excessive nap durations. Financial inconsistencies and unexpected fees, notably with summer program charges that were not clearly explained or justified. - PARENTS, PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS LIKE "WHY IS MY PART TIME STUDENT PAYING THE SAME AMOUNT FOR SUMMER ACTIVITIES AS THE FULL TIME STUDENT IF THEY ARE NOT ATTENDING ALL ACTIVITIES THAT THE FEES ARE PAYING FOR. Payment and late payment procedures are inconsistent and the front office staff aggressively bully. Lack of responsiveness and support from administrative staff, resulting in unresolved inquiries and dissatisfaction with service reliability. RETHINK.

In addition, I'd like to know what is actually being taught in Pre k here? My child was previously…read moreenrolled in a Children's Courtyard where she had 10* worksheets and several different paper crafts they would make in her folder that she would bring home every Friday. They had journals; the teacher would have a sentence written on the board before class begins daily and the students would copy it, using the finger space method to space out the words. This place does not use worksheets at nor are they practicing writing their names or anything else. They are not practicing holding pencils or writing ANYTHING!!! In three weeks of attendance, she brought home ONE picture she had drawn- ONE!!!. Granted, she missed a couple days during her time enrolled here, I refuse to believe they were actually doing any kind of schoolwork on those days my child happened to not be there. I thought I'd be able to rely on this school, however it is hardly a school; it's a kiddy jail with a pre k teacher that doesn't have patience and screaming is the only way she can try to keep control of the classroom. I may lose patience with my little one at home from time to time, however I will not PAY someone else to do it on a daily basis. I confronted the teacher about this on my daughter's second day, repeating to her what my daughter had told me. She admitted " Yes, I do scream, I do get loud with them, but I always apologize though." Excuse me!!! WHYYY are you screaming at 4 & 5 year olds!?!?! Mind blowing!!! I am in agreement with the other reviews that stated they had the feel that this place strictly about business. I would not be surprised if they are offering discounts for positive reviews, because ain't NO WAY!!!

When I tell you the staff is amazing, loving, and genuinely caring toward the children, I mean it! Mrs. Webb and Ms. White are wonderful. They make the daycare feel like a second home while being attentive, professional, and protective of the children at all times. Braswell holds itself to very high standards, and in my experience, it is one of the best daycares in the area. I had other options to choose from, but I immediately fell in love with Braswell. I always felt comfortable leaving my babies there because I knew they were in great hands. I highly recommend Braswell to any parent looking for a safe, loving, professional, and nurturing place for their children. I wouldn't choose anywhere else!

Yesterday, I was blessed with the opportunity to volunteer at The Main Place. Prior to learning…read moreabout their services through my employer, I had never heard about them. Now, I can share their story to my fellow Yelpers! To begin, The Main Place is a non-profit organization that provides clothing to homeless teens in the area. Their unique motto is "A retail store without a cash register." Let's face it, there are many, many people who do not have a home, a place to call their own. Families live in their vehicles, kids "couch-hop" from one friend's home to another. These kids have no options and are stuck to make the best of their situations. Since there are other organizations that provide assistance, this organization opened to help clothe these teens. The Main Place originally started as a means to provide attire for proms for these kids. If you really think about it, it is such a loving idea. Most of these homeless kids who still attend school wear the same clothes daily, so of course, they would not have nice clothes to attend school dances that we all take for granted. Soon, the organization realized daily clothes are needed, as well. As mentioned prior, The Main Place is non-profit and is SOLELY run by 100% volunteers. NO employees. How it works: school counselors refer these kids to TMP, the kids are given vouchers, and it works by appointments only. The store is divided by little "stores"- a boys and girls dress clothes area, a girls prom wear, casual clothes for boys and girls, and items for infants. What I think is a great idea is that they have those areas that provide nice, dressy clothes that these kids can wear for job interviews. They, too, need to dress to impress. The director of TMP is a gal named Jennifer. Wow, I was so impressed with her. Her excitement was infectious! It was obvious just how much she loves this organization and helping those less fortunate. A couple of families arrived while we were there, and the volunteers got busy helping them, like a personal shopper! They put together entire wardrobes, right down to shoes, jewelry, and hats. It was wonderful to witness the joy on the teens' faces! If you have it in your heart (and closet), I ask that you please help this great, little "store." What they need: new and gently used clothes, shoes, and accessories. And, of course, money to pay for utilities. For those who work in the business world, they really need dressy clothes so these teens can look nice for interviews. Also, they really need new undergarments (would you wear used undies?), socks and shoes--especially ladies shoes that are small, like sizes 5-6. I thank any of you who have read this and I apologize for the lengthiness, there is just so much info to share! And remember, pay it forward!

I'm very concerned about how this daycare handles discipline and supervision. In my experience,…read morethere seems to be favoritism when staff members have their own children in the classroom. When issues happen, it feels like other children are blamed instead of addressing everyone involved fairly. My nephew was accused of behavior that did not match what I've personally observed from him. When we asked for clarification or video footage, we were told cameras were not working, which made the situation even more frustrating. Communication from administration was unprofessional, and we did not feel that concerns were taken seriously. As a paying family, we expected better accountability and transparency. I would recommend that other parents ask detailed questions about supervision policies, discipline practices, and camera systems before enrolling their child."
