Worst daycare EVER Very Unprofressional staff is very RUDE they do not have transportation and wanted my 8yr old twins to catch a bus to them and for staff to walk to bus stop and pick them up they say they go skating every Thursday and request $40 but never take the kids and pocket the money !! Ms Brenda is the most unprofessional of all she doesn’t respond to important texts or calls and involves herself in your personal business husband seems slightly off but I won’t go there all to say if you want your kids in a safe environment DO NOT Bring them here also very dirty and clutter and my daughter got a rash from this daycare and in all her 8 years has never had one . I do not recommend at all . Also it does state that they have tranportatuon but when asked could they pick up my kid from school which is right around the corner they said no I had to leave my job earlier and get my kids so terrible I will not recommend at all !! BTW this Grandmom has a entire BBL and the daycare is digusting how is that even possible .. taking cash from parents and not providing trips this daycare is a scheme !!!!! BTW my children no longer go there and not only that but Larry up there is Brenda’s husband who was late picking my kids up several time also BRENDA lied to child services after she saw this review and decided to make stuff up and call in told Them that I had a random Uber driver come pick my kids up and that I was unfit but in reality it was boyfriend who came to pick them up and they all Ubers home because his car was being fixed and I was working and that happened because Brenda said she provided child care and she doesn’t !! And btw everything was dismissed because she’s a liar don’t let your kids go there I’m telling you google her name first ! And unfortunately Larry is a little odd he was always picking my daughter up holding her close but she was 8 at the time and he never showed her brother the same energy and their twins you do the math !

haniyyah muhammad’s kids still go here and they love it when they’re dad drops them off. I personally have gotten to know the professionals at Lj’s and they do more than their best to complete their mission statement. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but what’s fact is that every child is put first with the love of god. Anything that’s bad to say about Lj’s is a personal vendetta within their self. Ms Brenda has worked in childcare for a long time, long enough for the kids she once watched to have kids of their own and still proceed to bring to her knowing how good they were treated. Somethings about LJ’s are to be understood but not explained, the proof is in the pudding when it’s comes to the safety, education, health, and wellbeing of the children.

This is the worse daycare I ever seen. do not trust them with your children. after 2 weeks my son had the worse rash. he never had a rash and he is only 4 months. the staff don't follow covid procedures. if you believe in covid dont bring your kids to this daycare. they keep the older kids outside all day and the staff is very unprofessional.
