God's Little Gifts Christian Daycare in Broadview, Illinois received mixed reviews reflecting serious operational and safety concerns. While some parents praised the curriculum, field trips, and individual staff members, the facility faced significant issues including mold exposure, staff misconduct, and unprofessional management. The daycare has since closed.
To respond to Gods Little Gift response I NEVER EVER HAD PROBLEMS PAYING FOR MY CHILDS CARE and Neither did my childs Father we actually always had a CREDITSand i have my receipts as proof.... PLUS WHAT DOES MY PAYMENT HAVE TO DO WITH YOUR CENTER BEING CLOSED DOWN FOR MOLD AMONGST OTHER THINGS NOTHING SO please speak on FACTS THAT YOU KNOW HONEY ....THE PROBLEM IS YOUR CENTER LACK OF PAYMENT OPTIONS and the fact is YOUAND YOUR MOTHER AS BUSINESS OWNERS FAILED EVERY CODE WITH THE VILLAGE OF BROADVIEW AND INDEED HAD MOLD IN THE CENTER. My child was not sick until I brought him to your center he was premature YES bus we didnt have consistent problems with his running nose and eyes and coughing until he start spending more time at your center. I only kept him there for Shaela and Ms. Brown who was kind and hard working and grew a bond with my child. My son was exposed to mold that was in your center so please DO NOT MIXED FACTS WITH FICTION. I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH BRINGING TISSUE OR FACE MASK OR ANYTHING NEEDED AT SCHOOL FOR MY CHILD. BUT MY CHILD DOCTOR A SPECIALIST FOR PREMATURE CHILDREN STATED HE WAS EXPOSED AND I HAVE DOCUMENTATION STATING THIS. YOUR LUCKY IM NOT PRESSING CHARGES FOR CHILD ENDANGERMENT AND PAIN AND SUFFERING. PLUS SINCE MY SON BEEN AT HIS NEW DAY CARE HE HASNT HAD ANY ISSUES SO WE HAVE DISCOVERED THE ROOT OF OF THE PROBLEM YOUR CENTER SO DO BETTER AND ACTUALLY BE A GODS LITTLE GIFT TO CHILDREN MS. FAYE AND NOT A PROBLEM CAUSE I KNOW YOUR MOM DIDN'T WRITE THIS YOU DID AND INSTEAD OF WRITING LONG REVIEW RESPONSES YOU SHOULD BE GETTING PARENTS TAX PAPERS READY AND PROVIDING W2 FOR THE HARD WORKING EMPLOYEES YOU HAD AT YOUR CENTER. STAY BLESSED AND I'LL SEE YOU IN FEBRUARY FOR MY TAX PAPER. To be honest it took me a minute to write this review because I personally wanted to be clear, mind body and soul and not just be another angry parent writing a review. In the beginning this day care was great I had no immediate problems, plus it was affordable and my child was happy at the end of the day..... This daycare became an issue for me and my childs father when the admissions director/ Teacher Ms. Faye continue to send notes home with health concerns regarding my son. Plus she always was very rude and disrespectful in some of her actions with parents. She didnt have the patience to work with children and it showed in her behavior and attitude. The owner Ms. D was rarely there and i dont have much to say about her other than if she was present her daycare might still be open. My son was born 2 lbs 2 oz and he has respiratory issues and seem to always have a runny nose, coughing, or issues with his eyes when he left the day care and Ms. Faye would send sticky notes saying he needed tissue brought in, or face mask, or he needed to see a doctor to have his eyes checked. Me being a concerned parent took my child to the doctor and was told my son possibly been exposed to black mold. Right away I removed my child from the daycare and filed the necessary complaints because I was concerned for the other children. I believe the owner was wrong for not properly taking care of their property and caused potential health issues to all the children in their care.... They are now CLOSED and I hope for good because to have such disregards for the children to not fix an issue like black mold and cleanliness you dont deserve to have a Daycare....To me it seemed they only cared about the money but in the end GOD DONT MAKE NO MISTAKES.
My daughter had been going to this place for about two+ years. She began complaining that Ms Faye was being mean to her. My daughter would express concerns about Ms Faye's mood and hoping it would be better tomorrow or the next day more often than I felt like she should. Additionally, I noticed that she was being placed into time out EXCESSIVELY. I had spoken to the owner, Dee and "teacher" Faye about my concerns on more than one occasion. The owner, Dee, acknowledged that Faye has communication issues and described her as not being a "people's person." Regrettably, I gave them the benefit of the doubt, hoping that it was just a misunderstanding. I began to notice a pattern of things changing however not lasting more than a week or two. My daughter would display symptoms of anxiety and cry whenever she would have to go there. She expressed fears of this woman to her elementary school teachers. They were so concerned for her well- being that they brought it my attention as well. My daughter would come home every night talking about the way Faye was mistreating her and making her feel. She would WORRY that she is going to do something to upset this woman! I have seen Faye display a short temperament with staff, her mother (Dee), and eventually myself- I asked why were all of the children sitting on the dirty, hard, and cold floor instead of the rugs in the classroom and got attitude from her. My baby is only 5 years old and being bullied by a grown adult?? NO! Also, my daughter has said many times that Faye does not help her with fastening the buttons to her pants/skirts when using the bathroom. New staff member was hired and NEVER introduced to the parents. There's been occasions where their MEN have come to hang out with them during business hours! Completely unprofessional. I do not recommend this place to anyone! There's nothing Christian about this place besides the awful gospel music that's played during play time and prayer before meals.
I absolutely love this daycare! I moved from Wisconsin to Illinois and I was nerves putting my child in daycare but I got a referral for this one and my Daughter has been treated so well and learned so much. I love that she gets homework and she loves the summer trips. I honestly drop her off and head to work and be at ease because I know her teacher Ms Fay takes amazing care of her.
I had a horrible experience with this daycare. There is nothing God about it. Ms Fay does not know how to communicate with parents. I was new to daycare and how things work. So I had normal motherly questions for the person that I was leaving my child with. Like what’s your real name, not your nickname, how does daycare care action work, can I have a copy of my contract. What will she eat. So I started documenting my experience with this daycare. She gave me a hard time with giving me answers to the questions I asked. She made me feel like I was bothering her. When I would bring the situation to ms dee who is the owner and her mother she would tell me things would change and she would talk to her nothing happened. She also told me that she was aware of ms fayes communication issues.I ended up having to address me fay myself because her behavior didn’t change and accountability starts from the top and nothing happened. She of course Ms Faye apologized and said that she was aware of her communication skills and would work on it. That lasted for a week because I had another question. I ended up having to remove my child because I saw ms fay snatch a toy from her hand. Because my baby was a little cranky and I was watching from the window, and she didn’t see me. My child did finish the day there because I’m a single mom with no help. Which after review of the tape that ms dee watched alone and wouldn’t let me see said that she would let ms fay go but of course she still works there. She also agreed to what happened, asked me to keep my child at her daycare because she had a new director starting, and I said no. I have had a horrible experience with these women. To make matters worst She also owes me money that she has been telling me she has mailed me which I still have not receive then she said she sent it certified mail which I still haven’t received this has been going on for a month. Which means she never mailed anything and was lying. Now she is not responding to any of my emails or phone calls. She had the nerve to tell me that My emails are not pleasent. This women wants a nice email after she has been lying to me for a month, the experience that I had that she acknowledged was wrong, and now she refusing to give my my money. How could this women who is suppose to love children be ok with lying to a parent and with holding money that is used to take care of a child. What else goes on behind those doors. I have been calling and sending emails and she refuses to give me my money that she owes me. This shows the kind of people they are. If they are doing this to me they will do it to someone else. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to deal with this daycare. I have never experienced a business as unprofessional as this one. I Thought this would be simple I would tell ms dee what happened remove my daughter get my money that is owed to me and move on. I never thought I would be going through this with a daycare. How could people who take care of kids be ok attempting to take money from a parent that provides for a child. They are wolfs in sheep’s clothing and I’m so disappointed.
Great daycare! Provides transportation to and from school, everyone goes on consistent trips. The kids have a curriculum to aid with learning. Management is very informative and keep you in the loop of what is going on with activities. They have security cameras and immediate access inside and out. I have not had any issues with my child being hurt or bullied as I have had issues from previous daycares.
