What Parents Say
Family Affair Daycare has mixed reviews with significant discrepancies between older positive reviews and recent negative ones. Multiple parents report concerns about staff professionalism, child safety incidents including biting and bruising, inadequate supervision, and poor communication. Several positive reviews praise the caring staff and welcoming environment, but these are substantially outweighed by detailed complaints about neglect and unprofessional conduct.
Had an AWESOME TIME as usual on the field trip to Aiken Library with the AWESOME 3/4 YEARS OLD.
My nephew went to this daycare. From the beginning there was nothing but problems. The latest thing was he came home with a quarter size bruise on his forehead. I never got a call about it and when i asked nobody from the director to the teacher had any answers for us. We should have been called PERIOD! They are unskilled and will call you to pick your kid up if they are having a bad day. Babies cry and if we have to pick him up every time he cries what’s the point? The director is beyond unprofessional. She is not very easy to discuss issues with and the teachers could use some more training as well. She has a dog that she keeps in her office. I’m sure that breaks some kind of rule as well. Please think twice before leaving your child here. The teacher turnover rate is not good as workers seem to quit every other week.
My son attended this daycare for 4 months. The parking for pickup is horrible. About 3 weeks ago my son starting get bit and had bruises all over him. He started acting out there and this week he was expelled.i got the call at work to pick him up. They did refund the money I paid for the week though.
The teachers here are awful. They are rude and very unprofessional and mistreated my son who was being evaluated for ADHD while in thier 4K Program. I came to pick my son up from the center twice with patches of diet in his hair from outside playing time hours before my arrival. A teacher (Mrs. Lynn's daughter) got mad when I respectfully asked her to make sure diet is out of my son's hair before I come to pick him up. She got offended and stopped speaking to me for three months and refused to greet me in the mornings from that point on. Her mother ,Mrs. Lynn and her co-teacher, Mrs. Angie) never kept my son's shoes tied and I always has to tie them when I picked him up each day. I ended up buying shoes with no shoe strings for him just to avoid the situation. They would also not button his shirts up properly or get long out of his hair from nap time before my arrival. They did not care about the kids or respect thier parents. Mrs. Lynn and her daughter began to talk behind my back because of my saying something about him having dirt in his hair from recess. She began to not speak and would not acknowledge my son and I when we entered the daycare in the mornings. I did not know that the other teacher was her daughter until after her and I got into a heated argument right there in the daycare because I asked her why was she so rude to her parents when they greeted her. She told me that she was just rude to me because I had an attitude...ALL BECAUSE I ASKED THEM TO PLEASE TAKE THE DIRT OUT OF MY SON HEAD. I did not get an attitude. I was using my right as a parent to advocate for my now diagnosed ADHD son. I could not believe that she was holding a grudge against me for three months..her and her mom...from September 2015-Noveember 2015 because of that. I told her that she was unprofessional and that she had no right to get mad about that. She got loud with me first in front of the kids and her unprofessional co-worker tried to check me and tell me to be quiet but not check her co-worker. Her mom Mrs, Lynn defended her and is just as ghetto as her. The Apple does not fall far from the tree. The director acts like she is scared of the mother daughter duo and was the one who told me that they were related once I reported the incident to her. I told her that I was not afraid of them and don't care whose daughter she was. They don't treat my son like that or any child for that matter. I immediately pulled my son out of their facility the next day. The director is soft and did not do anything. Wipe their face, tie their shoes, put their clothes on correctly, take dirt and lint out of a child's hair before thier parents arrive. This is basic EArmy Childhood Development 101. They probably only have that and no CDA, associate's degree, or bachelors degree. They mistreat children here and talk about them and parenrs.their parents. Whoever gave this daycare five stars probably regret it now and saw their true colors. People warned me not to bring my son here. They even had a teacher who slapped a kid in the face as their parent was walking in. I know the parent personally and used to work with her. The parent took the center to court and won. They had to settle in court. The teacher tried to lie and said that she did not hit the child and the director and the staff supported the abusive teacher back then and support the emotional abusive Mrs. Lynn, her daughter, and the rest of the morning teachers who yelled at my son and intentionally left dirt and lint in his hair, left his shoes untied, clothes unkept etc all to get back at me. They will reap what they sow. Someone will eventually treat their kids or grandkids like that or cause that place to get shutdown. Jesus will deal with them folks either they change or they will be removed by God himself or the entire place will shut down if they don't stop mistreating people. Mark my word.
Trying to find a daycare for my nephew. The reviews that gave this place 1 to 2 stars are very recent, so I'm going with that. The other reviews that gave 4 to 5 stars are of many years ago. Did something change over there? And why isn't this business/administrator concerned enough to answer/comment on these issues? I give one star because if you can't answer or comment that tells me a whole lot.
