My child attended for a year or two. The evening hours aren’t very structured and my child stayed in one room with a lot of older/broken toys. The bathrooms weren’t very clean for the kiddos such as feces on the toilet. 3-4 of the teachers at the time were very young and impatient. You could tell when one wasn’t in a good mood. They are always nice when you’re there, but my child complained about going to school due to his teacher. She didn’t seem to be very nice when the parents weren’t around. The children also have totes to put their belongings in (extra clothing, snacks, blankets for nap time) When my child stopped attending the school I went there to get my child’s belongings from the assigned bin and they had told me there was nothing in it. However he had an extra pair of clothes, a blanket for nap time, and snacks that disappeared. A few months afterward I ran into one of the nicer teachers from the center at the park. She said hello to my child and I and asked if he had attended this daycare. Due to her recognizing us. She then made looks and comments as if it were not a good place to leave your kiddo. She stated she was glad my child is in a better place now. Implying that she no longer worked there as well. Overall it was okay for the time being, however I didn’t know any better until afterwards when we had more experiences with a new place.

I sent my children there for 4 years. It started off nicely. They seemed to have a good staff and they seemed to be attentive to our kids. Once my second child started going there (at 8 weeks old), things went downhill. On the second day she received an incident report. A teacher was changing her and bumped her head on the shelve above. I tried to stay calm, things happen. Later, my youngest daughter had three incidents of an older child biting her. Three times this happened. I requested to have the child separated from mine. I then received an incident (at 1.5 years old) that my daughter's arm was pulled out of the socket. She wanted a drink from the drinking fountain and the teacher would not let her and pulled her away by grabbing her arm. Things seemed to calm down as she went into the toddler rooms. I love Ms. Taylor, Ms. Christina, and the newer Ms. Britani. I then saw a disturbing situation with the afternoon preschool teacher last week (10/10/18). I saw the female teacher screaming at the kids, she hovered over them, completely red faced and screaming. She pulled one kid off by grabbing her arm. I stood there and made sure she knew I was watching. I called my husband as I drove away, asking what I should do and if I should report it. I have debated numerous times on if I should change where my kids go or if I was over protective or overreacting. I honestly stayed because they were opened past 6pm and with traffic it was a safety net. My oldest daughter rides the KK bus but has been late 4 times so far this year (not even a semester in). The final straw came this week. When KK gave the families 10 days to find new bussing. They will no longer bus the students because the bus that the kids use is "too expensive to fix and this is the best business decision for us." This forced us to finally move on, despite all the reasons why we should have earlier. I am not a perfect parent but sometimes convenience wins out. I would not recommend that students attend this facility. It does have a few amazing teachers but the turnover is high and many of the new hires are far from superior. I regret staying as long as we did but I am excited for our new adventure as a family.

I miss this daycare center so much when I went here back in 2016 It was my favorite one the staff treated me and kids like family took good care treated me nice and watched the kids carefully I wish my kids could go here again I live too far this new daycare I'm at horrible waiting to be transfered!! ):

Poor management. Turn over rate is terrible, new teachers have little to no experience on how to treat the children.
