Danis Garden Childcare And Learning Center

This daycare is amazing! The new center is very nice. I like how all the age groups are separated. Becky has been a wonder in explaining everything to me everyday. The staff is also very informative, when I come to pick up my child. Good, clean, safe daycares are hard to find. I have been through enough of them. I'm glad I was referred to them.

This is the worste daycare I have seen in Elyria. I saw it had great reviews and decided to give it a try. I spoke with the owner, Becky, who was supposed to meet with me that day, but they took all the kids to a fundraiser. When I arrived at the daycare center, all the doors were unlocked so I opened the door and saw about 8 toddlers sitting on the floor eating and watching a movie, there was food all over the place and it was messy. I asked to see Becky to get a walkthrough but she had left so there were only two daycare workers. The worker in the infant room said she would show me around, and when i looked in the infant room I saw a giant hole on the floor for a drain what wasnt covered up or anything that someone could break their ankle by stepping in. So the infant teacher asked the teacher who was watching the toddlers to watch the infants while she showed me around, so the toddler teacher went into the infant room and left all the toddlers by themselves in the front room where the door didnt even lock, and the infant teacher showed me several tiny classrooms that were unclean, old toys that were falling apart, no lessons or educational items. I then asked her if they had a playground, so she took me through the toddler room, which had a door that led outside, a door that also had no lock at all so kids could just run outside, and no fence to keep them in. She took one of the smaller toddlers with her outside, didnt even put shoes in her, just let her walk in the dirt in her socks. So we go out to a small area where theres a gate and she shows me the playground but its just a broken plastic car and couple plastic pieces. Not even a playground. After we go back through the door in the toddler room I asked her if they had a lock for that door to keep the kids from going into the street because there was no gate, she told me it doesnt lock and they put a curtain over the door to keep the kids from seeing that its a door. Its a TODDLER room how are they NOT going to find that? Toddlers get into everything. The main road is literally RIGHT outside. All it takes is one kid getting outside and taking 10 steps to the right and they will get hit by a car, thats how close it is, it will happen because of their lack of safety! Someone is going to get hurt here!! Take your children someplace else!!

I won't ever put any child in this program. The employee was rude and nasty, they don't know how to talk to people;farless for taking care of kids.

This place is amazing wene i have no school i go there the staff is amazing the food is amazing and the games are AMAZING! The children are amazing too.

My son has been going since July 2016 and he loves it there. Everybody treats you like you're family
