What Parents Say
Parent reviews are highly polarized. Some parents praise the center for being helpful, supportive, and family-oriented with caring staff. However, other parents report serious concerns including medical emergencies being mishandled, lack of transparency, inappropriate interrogation of children, DCF involvement patterns, and allowing individuals with mental health/substance abuse issues unsupervised access to children.
I will not be sending my kids here further. There’s a TON of issues more importantly where I told them I was cramping really bad and thought I was in labor (I was 28 weeks) and they basically said I was lying and said they weren’t bringing me to the hospital (I didn’t have a car) so I had to call an ambulance and my son was born dead. Thankfully they were able to bring him back to life but he unfortunately is now disabled. This childcare was meant to be helpful but in reality they allow drama inside the childcare space, people constantly arguing/fighting around children, they will call DCF on you if you’re in the hospital and cannot pickup your child until a few minutes/hour past - they’re still open at this time just don’t want anyone except staff kids (and refuse to help you find transportation). If you’re child has a small bruise, they will call dcf even IF you have a doctors note stating child had a fall (that happened at this daycare!). They will interrogate your young children and make them say things that aren’t true etc. list goes on. Dcf was never involved, but these are just some of the things this organization fails to admit. I would NOT send your kids there if you’re looking for a safe space. They’ve also had cases where they allowed a child predator inside the building.
They are very helpful and amazing they care and will do anything to help you as long as you are doing what your supposed to they will do anything for you to help you out. I’m truly grateful for this place and to have my kids part of this program and my self. They saved me and helped me beck a better me.
The parent child Center is a really great place for you and your child or children you learn new things and get to have have and explore. I love it here at the pcc they have helped me a lot and they are family here the pcc do not push you away. When you come you get a warm welcoming and comfort.
Terrible they let random parents hold your kid most of whom have mental health or substance abuse issues. Staff more likely to be argumentative and condescending then helpful
two moms are talking about their kids who don't seem to be getting along and figure out a salutation. Nope can't do that. They keep everything hush hush so they don't look bad. There's no transparency, no help. They say one thing and do another
