What Parents Say
Dena's Day Care Center receives mostly positive reviews praising cleanliness, staff friendliness, and educational support, with parents reporting strong care and developmental assistance. However, two older negative reviews raise concerns about supervision and past management practices.
I think it's very clean every week I see them bleaching toys, chairs, etc. Waxing floors, cleaning cubby, etc. They never leave children unattended they might take breaks but someone else fills in during that time. Dena is VERY nice and sweet and cares and about the children AND parents. She doesn't watch the children herself, she's the owner!! She has multiple classrooms with the friendliest teachers I've EVER met!!!! They are the BEST, i swear by them. I'd never take my kids ANYWHERE else!!!!
My son has been attending Dena’s going on 3 years now. In the beginning, since this was his first time attending any type of childcare at the age of 2 1/2, the separation was difficult like any child. His teacher Ms Mary, Cora, Treba, and Dena all helped us with the morning separation. After a few weeks, it was difficult to get him to come home! This school is not only just a place that provides childcare services, it provides so much more. They helped us with potty training, writing, vocabulary, social and sharing skills, and ensure proper hygiene (hand washing before meals and snacks) and nutrition is provided for all children. Policies and procedures are strictly enforced where you can feel at ease leaving your child in their care. It is very apparent that Dena cares more about the children and their upbringing than making a dollar, which is sufficient in their state school-rating of 4/4 stars. As a single working parent, the hours and rates are perfect to where you will not break the bank and if need be, the office staff and Dena will provide you with services to assist with payment or programs so employment is not affected. This school is a treasure and even when his pre-k year is over this year, I will be keeping them with before and after school services. Not only is Dena’s a school, but the teachers and staff have become a part of our family and I wouldn’t recommend any other place!
Last time I went there was in 2000, that was an awful day care back then and I don't know why she didn't lose it SMH. They was so abusive to kids there all the time the only nice worker there was Dana anyone knows her can ask and she will tell you. Should of seen the owners face when I asked if the same person owns this place still she said yes I do and when I told her I use to come here, her face 😮.. Yeah told her I'd never send my kids here ever and walked away.
Not clean, but nice staff. Owner is too old to watch children. Teachers leave children unsupervised at any given moment. Very little structure.
My son attends this daycare and the staff are very kind and gentle. Good place.i give it 5 stars!
