My Baby went here, I will say I know she was treated well. I trusted MsShaniya to make sure of that along w/ the other staff. The staff was very sweet. Only thing I really didn’t like was my baby was continuously was sick. They let them come to school sick, which makes sense why baby was never well.
My kids was enrolled in the daycare for approximately two months . Within that timeframe both of my kids ages four and one years old or sick on numerous accounts the last time my youngest child broke out with a bumpy type of rash that was picked up from the day care please be careful If you choose to send your ciao hear some of the teachers are very good with the kids I will see that but as an overall experience it was horrible
This daycare used to be thorough. They used to help aftercare with homework, feed them well, and was very organized and family love oriented. Since "Grandmom" and the lady with the locs left it seems to have become more like my child was being at the 14 year old babysitters. They arent proficient and on point enough for my liking so Ive pulled my child out of aftercare!! So over this place and new staff.
If you have a real job and actually enjoy vacationing and doing things with your children this is not the place for you. 1st of all...the will have dismissals at 10:00 Am on a monday...close on a tuesday...have a half day on a Wednesday and still expect you to pay full price for your child..second if you choose to take your child on vacation and the child does not come for the week you still are responsible to pay. In addition. They call you for EVERY DAMN THING...they called me one time to tell me my infant was crying...like wth else is an infant expected to do? They have my baby 24 ounces of whole milk and called me because he was throwing up and my baby could not return until he went to the Drs. This place is a nightmare and you are better off having Ronald McDonald babysit!! Three words...DONT DO IT
I was with my mom and we saw them getting onto a school bus. When a little girl almost ran into the street , one of the “adults” grabbed her by her hair and yanked her back. Then a few minutes later another girl there popped one of the kids, mind you that was not her kid so she had no right to do that. When the school bus was about to pull off, two grown men got on the bus with them, I don’t know if they work there or not but it didn’t seem like it. DON’T RECOMMEND!!
