I picked my son up yesterday when I walked in the class I immediately asked the teacher what happened she said she have no idea!! I asked my son what happened he pointed at the little boy and said he pulled his hair when we got home I took the twist out it was pulled from the scout! the little boy was African and so was the teacher!! So I feel like she was lying for him! son isn’t a bad kid and he don’t lie I told the directors sister it was supposed to be a meeting the next morning which was today the meeting never happened so I will be suing for child abuse and neglect! Don’t send your child here they allow kids to hit other kids they don’t report anything! My nephew also attend this school he said my son was crying and asking to call his mom I never received a call from anyone! That’s neglect! I also have a witness my niece goes here a teacher told her child got another child in front of his father and he told his son to hit my niece back! Which means y’all allowing abuse to go on inside of y’all daycare!
I've had the pleasure of having my four kids, ages 1, 3, 4, and 8, attend this daycare for over three years, and I can confidently say it's absolutely amazing with a supportive staff. ,I appreciate them for their hard work and dedication.
This center is outstanding and precise on rules regulations, welfare of the kids is of the most important, they are family oriented, they teach, on top of illnesses and knowing every aspects of the children left in their trust. My grand babies attend this center!!!
These people are so unprofessional. Things happen to kids an they have no idea how it happened. We would like for new people to be hired.
Involved in an accident with one of their aggressive drivers while kids were in the vehicle. Not a safe practice.
