My kids have been going here for a few years now and I love it.. it’s a small family ran business, not a bunch of different ppl with my kids every other week… they say their prayers before meals, and that’s a big plus for me!! all around, my kids love it there. They are always doing learning activities through the week..never pick them up with messy faces or dirty diapers !! I love all of the staff here.. I highly recommend this daycare

Horrible daycare!!!!! My kids had a cousin that worked there and they didn’t know they were related. She recorded them neglecting and abusing my daughter. Snatching her blanket that she was attached to that kept her quiet. She was only 2 years old and instead of encouraging her to eat, they starved her after she was already crying from them snatching her comfort blanket. The video showed they would take her small blanket from her instead of calming her down, they would just take her food away and walk off which made her cry even more. She went without eating who knows how many times. After they wouldn’t let her cousin give her back the food she text me at work saying they took her food and wouldn’t give it back and I literally left my job and got on the highway angry as heck. I called the police but they beat me there but I’m glad they did. Twice it was caught on film and she sent me the videos. I filled a police and took my baby out immediately. The police being there are the only thing that….. yeah… DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILD HERE, THEY WILL BE MISTREATED. I’ve seen them ignore babies crying constantly with runny noses and dirty diapers

This daycare is absolutely amazing. Maria and Christine took great care of my 4 children while they were there. My children learned to say their prayers before meals and so many more things. My children were loved and treated as family. I highly recommend Kids Korner to anyone who asks.

If you've ever considered bringing your child here, don't. For god's sake, DON'T. They will abuse your children. Maria is a witch who has no business being anywhere near children, and her employees aren't any better. I went here as an after school care child from ages five to nine years old, so I can personally attest to this. I was slapped and beaten often, and on one occasion a man named Joshua punched me directly in the forehead (I was seven). One of their workers refused to feed me on numerous occasions because I was an overweight child and needed to lose weight, according to them. PLEASE, do not send your children to this daycare; Maria and her employees are cruel, money-hungry, and sadistic. Eight years after I left Kids Korner, I still have nightmares about the things that happened to me and the other children.

WHY ISN'T THIS PLACE CLOSED DOWN?! When my child went here I would always find marks all over. Specifically nail jabs on her forearm. DCF NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THIS PLACE AND LOOK AT THE CHILDRENS FOREARMS. My child became very angry, wouldn’t smile anymore & began to hit me at home. Breaks my heart and not acting sooner! ALSO my sisters best friend worked at this places and she stopped working because of how horrible it was. UNDERSTAFFED-ABUSIVE-NEGLECT-MONEY HUNGRY. Save you child! Or you will get that phone call you will forever regret!
