I would not recommend this daycare to any parent. Every time I arrived, the staff were on their phones watching videos while babies were crying and being ignored. My child cried so much during the day that she came home hoarse more than once. They also fed my baby food that I did not authorize, which is completely unacceptable and unsafe. In all the time we were there, I never saw a single book being read, any form of curriculum, or even staff engaging with the children in a meaningful way. No one ever asked about my child’s likes, routine, or personality. The director didn’t know who we were, didn’t know our child, and was consistently rude whenever we tried to address concerns. Parents trust daycares with their most precious babies, and this center absolutely failed to meet even the basic standard of care.
I love Sowing Seeds. My child has attended since COVID & has attended both locations. During COVID, my child never contracted COVID and that allowed me to appreciate their efforts of keeping the facility clean and children safe. From the administration staff to the teachers, my child always received exceptional care. When I’ve had questions or concerns, Bridget, the owner, has attended to them a timely fashion with solutions and actions as needed. Overall they’re a great place for childcare and I recommend, especially Ms. Randolph! :)
I LOVE Sowing Seed Academy. My TWINS being going since they were 2 months and now they are FOUR!!! Staff is very attentative to meeting their needs and is informative to resources of different challenges. They seem to know each child and parent personally. I highly recommend giving them an opportunity to serve and show their gracious skills.#AGRATEFULPARENT
