Lake Village Learning Center #2

I’m very disappointed with my experience at Lake Village Learning Center. When my child was in the baby building, we had a positive experience and felt comfortable with the care provided. Unfortunately, that changed completely once my child moved to the 3 and up building. From the start, I encountered unprofessionalism, a clear lack of accountability, and very poor communication. Mornings were especially frustrating. I often didn’t even know where my child was supposed to go at drop-off because of the lack of staff and disorganization. What upset me most was how my fully potty-trained child was sent home in soiled clothes almost every day. When I asked why he was having so many accidents all of a sudden, the director told me, “He acts scared to talk to his teacher” and that “He needs to learn how to tell her when he needs to go to the bathroom.” This response was not only unprofessional but also deeply concerning it’s the teacher’s responsibility to create a safe, supportive environment for the children in her care, not to intimidate them into silence. There was also an incident where my child was sent home with poop still on his legs. When I brought this to their attention, instead of showing true remorse, they made excuses saying the teacher didn’t have help and was a dialysis patient. It was clear to me that they are more interested in defending their employees than ensuring the well-being and dignity of the children. Please learn from my experience and stay away from this place.

Absolutely horrible experience for my child at this daycare. She was verbally threatened in front of staff at her elementary school when the van was picking up the children after school. The daycare employee threatened to spank my child for crying on more than one occasion, and the school felt it was so bad that they had to report it to me. Lake Village director was nonchalant about it, and never addressed it or apologized. A 4 year old boy got out of the fence and walked home. He was in my child's class. Completely unacceptable. I walked in on a teacher yelling at my 1 year old for crying. She was new there. The teacher didn't know I was standing there. Do not send your child to Lake Village Learning Center. Minus a few good teachers, it was awful and my child is still traumatized.

We decided to use Lake Village because we had numerous friends who always had good things to say about it while their kids were there. However, walking in and dropping off my 9 week old off that first day- I had no idea what amazing women were about to become a part of my life. These women go above and beyond what a “daycare worker” is supposed to do and this is just not a job for them. They are full of compassion and love. They listen and want to help in every possible way. I can’t begin to express the gratitude I have for each and every one of the staff there. They are not only my baby’s caretakers and educators, but they are an extension of me when I am not around and I couldn’t have found a better family. I just hope they know how much they are appreciated and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a daycare.

Lake Village Learning Center has been a part of our family for more than 7 years. It is no small task to take on children and raise those children as your own. Yet, the family oriented environment Lake Village Learning Center provides is spot on. "It takes a village to raise a child". This is just no ordinary daycare; before the age of 2, both of my boys knew the Pledge of Allegiance (where sadly when they go to school, it will be forgotten), prayers before meals (where again, will be hushed once entering school), the alphabet, the colors, numbers, shapes, potty trained ... this list goes on and on! The teachers and staff are always welcoming and accommodating. Knowing both my children and my name. YES!! I am proud to be a part of Lake Village Learning Center!

Staff was mean and condescending when you asked questions about your own child! I decided to pick my child up early and saw one staff member snatching cookies from a toddler because he dropped it in the floor . I immediately withdrew my child and reported it . The owner is nonchalant and uncaring.
