My little brother got hurt by older kids while attending this daycare. They never informed my mother of the incident nor did they get him medical attention. When he was picked up from daycare she was made aware of what had happened. They older children called him a racial slur and then pushed him off of the playground. After daycare he was taken by my mother the urgent care which advised her of his broken arm. Staff would not give my mother the names of the parents nor did they take any action against the children involved. Where were the staff when this happened and why was there no incident report done. Please read the reviews throughly before trusting these people with your children! I would not be surprised if they are in the news in the near future.

My kids have been going to colonial for about 2 years now. I can go on and on about how clean professional and great this place is. My kids never want to leave and my son every morning asks if he’s going to “school” and gets all happy and excited . The staff really cares for all the kids there and you can tell they treat them like if they were their Own I definitely recommend Colonial to anyone who wants their kids in a place that genuinely cares and want your kids to succeed

Very unprofessional group of women who run this so called “state funded organization” Everyone here is either related or family friends an have no reason being any type of “pre schooling teacher”. Some staff has cuts an wounds of self harm up an down their arms, others clearly under the influence of something. Young girls constantly texting on phones, calling out an late. Very unreliable to trust young children with. Most of these girls seem they come in to work after a long night out having fun. Some girls here even tell us parents they’ve been there since 7am an its 6pm i am picking up my child. That is crazy for an 18 year old!! You’d think after covid, bussiness’s/ child care centers would be more clean and care more about their workers let alone children that walk through the door. I mean they do have to take pictures of each child beginning of the day to end for a reason right? I believe someone needs to reavulate this and even so talk with whoever is managing this place because beyond obsurd & ridiculous!!!
