What Parents Say
Care-A-Lot Childcare Centre receives mixed reviews. Several parents praise the nurturing environment, friendly staff, and their children's enjoyment of the facility. However, other parents report serious concerns including alleged neglect of a child with special needs during a medical emergency, refusal to refund fees after incidents, unresponsive management, and employment/payment issues.
I was concerned that my (mildly) special needs child was being ignored by their “teachers” while at daycare. This was confirmed when I picked my child up and was having a health issue, child was struggling to breathe, which was not addressed by staff. This is neglect. I pulled my child from this center immediately. I wrote to the admins stating my concerns and to notify them that my child will not return, and they didn’t bother to respond. The name “care a lot” is totally hypocritical. They did not care about my child or their well-being or whether my child was there or not or if my child may have required medical attention. I would not recommend for any child.
My child was harmed at this daycare center several years ago. Owner Pat Depan refused to refund daycare fees after we pulled our child. They will not admit wrongdoing or show empathy and at the time of this incident did not have cameras.
Both of our sons love their friends, teachers, and all the staff! They take great care of the children and provide many activities for them to play and learn from!
Our son has been going here for a few years now, Ms Sara is absolutely wonderful and very accommodating!! The staff have alway been friendly and courteous, my son seems to really enjoy going.
My son goes here, and he really loves seeing his friends and teachers! They encourage a very nurturing relationship with these kiddos! Thank you!
