What Parents Say
Nazarene Wee Care Center receives highly polarized reviews. Most parents praise the attentive staff, daily communication, age-appropriate activities, and Christian environment, with one parent noting 6 years of satisfaction. However, two recent negative reviews report serious concerns including staff yelling at toddlers, physical aggression, inadequate supervision, safety protocol failures, and lack of curriculum.
Where do I begin aside from saying do NOT send your child here! There are more safety concerns than I could count at this facility. I witnessed Leanne in the toddler room yell at the children & push one of them. Another person I spoke with said she heard her yelling down the hallway and once she seen her she stopped yelling at the kids. Each time I was here, they acted like my presence was unwelcome. My kid also had the wrong diaper on when I picked up. My child was here for 3 days. Extremely fussy and sad even once we were home, my baby wasn’t acting normal. It hurts my heart as a mother to know I will probably never know if my child was verbally or physically abused. I can only assume so, considering how many times I heard this woman raise her voice at 1 year olds. There is no form of teaching whatsoever either, they don’t have a curriculum, just play all day & apparently get yelled at all day as well.
Where to begin on how much we love this center ! Ever since brining my infant daughter here a month ago she has been so happy and adapted so well ! All of the teachers are so attentive to her needs and communication is wonderful, I love that they use the bright wheel app, and send me pictures of her everyday. So thankful that we found this center !
In the 1 year old room, when dropping off our child they never acknowledged him. Picking up was jo different. I would often pick him up with no pants or shoes on and would have to consta try ask where his things were. even though they visibly could see he was getting picked up and didn't have these items. One day at picked up I heard someone yelling at children to stop. When I got closer to my child's room I heard it again and realized it was his room. As I was entering she was beginning to tell again. a woman was sitting in a chair in the middle of the room yelling at two 1 year old to stop touching something. She saw me, stopped, got up finally intervened herself and then sat back down. Caregivers were often in chairs rarely interacting with children. Their safety protocols are lacking, even though they tell you lies of what they do. Even scarier they didn't even ask why we were pulling after only a week there. No desire to hear feedback.
My son has been going for 6 years and loves it. The staff are mostly ex teachers and soon to be teachers. Room are separated by age and they offer plenty of learning and activities.
Love this place wouldn’t recommend another daycare, friendly employees! Great at teaching and their Christian!!
