Peace Infants & Toddler Center

Ms. Patricia is extremely controlling toward both staff and families. She does not take parents’ concerns seriously and instead uses them to place blame back on the parent rather than addressing the issue. She avoids direct communication, requiring everything to go through her, and appears to keep her staff on edge. My daughter was told she could not return to the daycare with very little notice and for no valid reason. After terminating my daughter’s care, Ms. Patricia refused to release my daughter’s belongings and medical records. She stated that I could only pick them up on a Sunday, a day I am not available. Because my daughter’s belongings and medical records were being withheld, I contacted the police to request an escort. When officers contacted Ms. Patricia, she made false statements, claiming that she had told me I was not allowed on the premises at all, which was not true Due to these actions, I would not consider this daycare a professional or appropriate environment and would strongly advise parents to consider other childcare options.

My child attended Peace for one month, and it was truly the most stressful experience of my life. The owner is unprofessional and bullying - shaming parents for things as minor as wet collars because babies drool and long finger nails. She micromanages everyone, including the parents, watching on cameras and audio recordings to listen to and critique everything you say or ask the teachers. The final straw for us was when she withheld food from our three-month old for SIX hours, allegedly because the milk was frozen. It was not, which I know because I stood outside with my baby in single degree temperatures while the teacher checked every bottle. And even if it was frozen, do they not know how to heat a bottle? And even then, you call the parent and do every thing you can possibly think of to feed a screaming infant. We did not know there was an issue until we came to pick him up at 5p.m. and he was shrieking uncontrollably. We pulled him out that night and moved to Ladybug, where the teachers felt like an extension of our village - not an adversary making us doubt every instinct we had about parenting. Do not consider this place. I have absolutely nothing positive to say.

I greatly appreciate the wonderful two years Peace Daycare has provided my child, the environment is nurturing, educational & has been confidence building for my child, my daughter looks forward to attending daycare, greatful to have such a quality trusted resource here in Edgewater, your service to the community is greatly appreciated ❤️

The owner is unprofessional. I did not get any good vibes from her once she started talking not only to me but also from her discussions with other people/parents. She came across as an insincere person(Faking the funk) and she even boasted about terminating parents' contracts immediately because they inquired and / or showed concern about their child's care. The tour of daycare lasted 30 seconds. Toys looked like bad hand me downs belonging in the dumpster. Rooms for preschoolers looked small and cluttered. Based on the owner, Miss Patricia's handling of a FEW incidents that I witnessed while there my advice would be to look elsewhere for another daycare for your little precious one.👎👎

I had left a review before and was deleted, I wouldn’t waste my time if I didn’t care for the next person to not experience what I went through with this place. As soon as your child has any kind of incident, Patricia will take no responsibility or action and put the blame on you, the parent. I had an incident where she would blame the teacher when the teacher had said the whole opposite and stated she followed orders from Patricia, as much as I tried addressing the issue, I was talked down to when Patricia was confronted. I pulled my girls right out of there and when I went back to have an adult conversation and pick up my girl’s belongings, I was denied the entrance by the teacher because Patricia couldn’t even show her face. I felt so ashamed and disgusted at someone who I trusted my kids and our personal information with.
