Comparatively I love that their focus is on learning and academics and very hands on, however it’s very “boot camp” like for a *Early* learning center. That’s not a bad thing but it shouldn’t be strictly enforced since these children are 5yrs or below. Children with autism is not accepted here. I had 2 boys attending the daycare and my oldest son with autism had to leave due to his behavior, which is understandable, but I told the Director Ms Renee that my other child will continue at the daycare and I might move him in the future for convenience. Ms Renee instead called people to fill both spots for my children and I was not aware she already filled my other sons spot that I did not anticipated on moving out until the last week of, which put me in a bubble to find a daycare this last minute for him. I do get the feel that this place is judgmental if the children doesn’t fit their category but out of all daycares in this area they really do try to help the children learn compared to the other “learning centers” nearby in which they just babysit the kids and not learn.
Here is the Text that I sent the Director upon my child's exit from this Daycare: Original Date: November 17th 2023 "Renee, Since I've pulled *my child*, it has come to attention that there's some evil and racist things that have been said and done to some of the children there. As well as mistreatment. You have also failed to contact me since being informed that my child would no longer be attending the daycare. I can only assume it's because of the trend that's been allow to occur there and you've heard this before from other parents. No one has even contacted me about picking up *my child* clothes and extra items. From my personal experience, when people get quiet, its because they know they are caught. I've been typing up everything since *my child* has started there and will be reaching out to other parents to get a consensus of their experience there as well. I am extremely disappointed but more importantly, I want to be sure I have the facts straight. And since it has been brought to my attention that you and your staff will lie, I can't trust what you say. So I will be reaching out to other parents to verify. I'm not sure when you took a wrong turn in this business but it's definitely not the right path to be on. There is mean-spirited and dark energy with you and the staff that is becoming harder for yall to hide and thats obvious by the other kids that were pulled from that daycare the same week as mine. What you are doing and allowing others staff to do is pure evil. And you will have to atone for that very soon. Be blessed." THEY ARE RACIST AND HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO CCAP. DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE! They run the daycare like a military camp and are determined to BREAK your child's spirit. My daughter was called nappy-headed and always punished for doing normal 2 year old things. They exaggerate stories and write bad reports to give parents DAILY. Reports written with personal offense, instead of addressing the behaviors. My daughters personality changed when going there, every evening was hell when we got home because she had been being abused all day at this Daycare. This went on for months. They expect children to OBEY like dogs.... I pulled her from here.... and the First day at her new daycare, I picked up a completely different child who now loves her teachers and friends! Renee and her staff are not to be trusted.... ESPECIALLY WITH BLACK CHILDREN! Here we are, months later, and I'm learning that other black families are still being treated the same. So I decided to share my experience too. The silence is why they are able to continue on and I dont want anyone else's babies to experience what my child did. I handed them a whole, healthy, happy child and they gave me back a irritable, crying, over stimulated toddler. They were in there buck breaking my baby.... I still get sick till this day thinking of all she endured for months while I was at work. SHAME SHAME SHAME!!!!
Mrs. Rene and staff are the best. Been here since 2013.
