What Parents Say
CFI Child Development Center receives mixed reviews. Positive reviews praise the caring staff, director Sam's responsiveness, communication with parents, and quality food. However, recent reviews raise serious safety and neglect concerns, including inadequate diaper changes, insufficient staffing, and a child found unsupervised off-premises.
Dec. 2025 they have confirmed accounts of child neglect. But are not on the child abuse registry. They did not change my kids diaper for over 8 hours two days in a row. They sent him home in the same diaper we dropped him off in. Please keep your children away from this place!
We switched to this daycare in early 2023. I have 3 children that attend this daycare and they have been nothing but loving and caring to all of my kids. Anytime I have an issue I always go to the director Sam and she handles it immediately and is more than happy too! I have absolutely the pickiest eaters and they are always satisfied with the food that is provided. I’m an over protective mom and the teachers are always communicate with me about their days and what was done throughout the day. They also teach basic hygiene skills washing hands, potty training, and even brushing their teeth! I wouldn’t send my children to any other place.
Sam is lazy sits in the office with her own kids, doesn’t introduce the parents to teachers and never has enough staff . My son was found across the street in the middle of a snow storm with 2 other children. My son has severe allergies so he basically starves cause she can’t offer alternates so we started bringing stuff and she still wouldn’t give him it.
Best daycare ever 😁😁😁 and thanx to miss sarah for being the best teacher 🤗🤗🤗
Great with the kids.. we love them!
