My daughter was at carolyns for a short time but while going there our experience was a nightmare. I brought my daughter to daycare ten minutes late for drop off, we had a hectic morning as we are in the middle of moving, I am 8 months pregnant, and have two other children. Upon arrival Carolyn opens the door and proceeds to yell at me infront of my child causing her to cry saying that it was unacceptable for us to be late to the care that WE pay for. When I inquired as to why bringing a two year old ten minutes late to daycare was disruptive (her words) she said that her class had just finished snack. Apparently at the end of snack time my daughter walking in would severely disrupt the other two year olds day. Against my better judgement I left only to receive a call from my husband two minutes later stating Carolyn had called him saying my daughter was ‘filthy’ with a full diaper needed to be bathed and was a mess and she would be documenting this. I immediately turned my car around went back and took photos of my daughter on the playground who was dressed in all clean clothes, including a BRIGHT WHITE skirt, clean pants, shirt, ect. When I confronted Carolyn she claimed her staff had ‘cleaned her up’. Did I mention the staff on the playground watching 15-20 kids all looked to be 14-16 years old? I have photos from my daughter and son taking a bubble bath and covering the bathroom in soap from last night, as well as photos from them snuggling at breakfast in the morning and both children are completely immaculate with clean clothes freshly bathed. Maybe before making false accusations she should consider it’s 2021 and everyone documents everything. I also recorded her yelling at me infront of my two year old for being ten minutes late (she states it’s actually 15 in the video) so obviously this woman is completely unhinged and vindictive and I would not trust my child or anyone else’s in her care.
One of the Most AMAZING CHILD CARE EXPERIENCES OF ALL TIME! I can not begin to express how much I love this center. From the moment I met the staff I knew that my child was going to be cared for and in the best paid care that I could hope for. Call and talk to them, you will be glad that you did.
