Parks Place Daycare and Learning Center is just awesome. The staff is super friendly, the facility is clean and organized, the teachers are interactive and attentive, it's a lovely place. Today was grandparents day, we got to interact with our grand daughter as well as the other grandparents and children. We sang along, danced, played and clap. They also served refreshments and a light snack and past out goodies bags to take home. If ever ther was a day care that I would recommend, this would be it.

Ms. Michele is the brightest part of my daughter's experience. The staff is attentive. Prices could be much better, considering the times. . I love development and the extra circus, just not associated costs. Overall a caring place for my child.

Children are born with instincts to express their needs. My BABY has begun exhibiting behavior of being hyper-distressed at home and reports from the school. Her blowing up at small things never been a problem. When I first went to sign her up here immediately I had to deal with attitude from assistant director Tara, but due to needing care near me and the good reviews I looked past it up until everyday after enrollment leading into her second week I finally addressed the owner about the over the top YELLING and nasty remarks. I’m a parent just entering the door to come and go daily I should not have witnessed the raising of voices at kids for being kids or director and assistant director barging in and out of areas being very loud and overbearing. Most of the kids I’ve seen pushed in the forehead, screamed at because they were in Tommy’s picture and there name is Susie, snatched by the arm for spinning, or just over all walked up to and bothered with for being kids just stared off into space or gave very little crying. My child’s not a spirit you can break, that’s why she was and I quote “passed around and everybody’s problem”. How else would you as and adult react to such behavior or really how are you expecting a child to? I talked to my voucher provider YALL cannot make a child do anything, there is a “curriculum” but y’all are care in the day not her dictators. YALL should not be villainizing or labeling my child a “manipulator” because she is 2 and is expressing needs. My child at home is not chastised I don’t stand over her yelling and repeating myself multiple times badgering her for being a toddler and doing stuff that toddlers do. I get on her eye level, I bring her close to me, I engage with her and I speak to her with logic I regulate myself FIRST because I want her regulated. I set expectations, I correct behavior, I give her options none of that requires intimidation or me getting frustrated. Nothing a child can do or any part of running a child care facility should make y’all so miserable everyday I am getting projected nasty energy towards me or NEVER see nothing but bugged eyes frowns or wrinkled up eyebrows. When asked what prompted my child to freak out on y’all I got no direct answer other than she doesn’t like “no” when I asked on the day of reports can I see a video what teacher never can have those things provided. Directors Regina& Tara watched me in the office as we spoke &stood over me with my toddler trying to get her to settle in her seat they scoffed at me saying “see no discipline” although, I was taking CALM age appropriate measures I was told “seems like you let her do whatever she wants to do” I responded as best I could keeping composure asking what do you mean my discipline? Bc I am addressing her and the expectation? I guess because I didn’t scold my child into a tantrum she’s a “manipulator” because she SMILED at me when I was giving her instructions. I told them that there is no way my child has the cognitive ability to intentionally “manipulate” anyone. I was ganged up on and they both agreed that “oh yes there is”. Tara was spitting out things that are the reason they are labeling her “a problem” and Regina was making the comments on the sideline about my parenting style. It really got to the point I had to let it be known y’all aren’t supposed to be bullies and using force to grip people’s children, yelling to assert dominance or non of that so what were y’all expecting from me in that office that y’all would be doing different to “get her in line”. I was even told it’s not “her world”. When I told them they are not going to villainize my child as I’m sitting there mirroring the behavior I would like to see carried out in how she’s addressed or to be treated, you shouldn’t be labeling her and you have no right to comment on my parenting suddenly the meeting had to be “concluded” and I was “twisting words” I guess that’s why I was told first stepping in “do not record” because it seems the behavioral issues are stemming from the grown people at parks place.

& because I ran out of characters let me make sure I state this Ms.Elayna you are 5 stars. I’ve seen you exhibit so much patience and I can tell you really like your job. You are the reason she was there for the 2 months she was. Asking directors simple things reiterating myself how are we gonna work on this I NEVER not once doing that meeting heard them say any good things about my child. When I asked who they said “passed around and a problem” when I asked how can W E change this here because I address normal 2 year old behavior that occurs at home but full on aggression and melt downs I DO NOT see my child exhibit that before at home. I was never given any clear definitive responses from them other than villainizing my 2 year old and undermining me as a mother in front of her. With that being said y’all already stole my money as a single mom that whole “deposit” should’ve have been withheld from me because the things that were set to me were completely out of line and unprofessional. Y’all went to school for this y’all have trainings for this and I was spoken down to for exhibiting calm correction with my 2 year old because I guess in the “adult” world she’s expected to sit on command. I’m still extremely upset about this and y’all need to go back to the books about how to help raise other peoples kids while their at work or school 10 hours is a long time and apparently for a long time y’all have got a way with your care giving styles that aren’t appropriate in my eyes or BY THE BOOKS. I was really excited about my child’s recent pictures coming in from last week because she’s turning 3 but if those are withheld from me oh well I am no longer comfortable with this facility to recommend them to anyone or to have my child in CARE. Edit: Mrs.Parks if you want your business to have good reputation and rep-or from ALL maybe switch out your staff from the miserable ones you have running it for you. I just had your DIRECTOR roll down her window and mug me from her review mirror same bottom lip puckered out and face wrinkled up eyebrows furrowed which is one of the main reasons why I’m not sending my daughter to your school anymore and I don’t recommend to ANYONE because that same demeanor, that miserable unprofessional look is what I saw EVERY morning dropping my daughter off. Scowling at a previous parent in traffic and bobbing her had to stare is so shameful. Just wow. Never would I expect such things from my toddlers school staff. I was nothing but respectful in everyday interaction and this is what reviews are for I should have never had those things said to me and absolutely should not get that energy from daycare staff.
