I really feel like my son is loved and cared for here. He had been here for almost two years! They are flexible about some things, certain things not so much. But the love they have for my child means the most to me.
If you care about your child and i mean truly care and love your child this day care is for you! I love this daycare. My son is 3 months old and he's so content and happy every time I pick him up! Clean diaper and fed! They have an amazing app to keep you updated through out the day as well its awsome! Cute building very clean! And don't get me started on Mrs.Penny she's an amazing woman and knows what she's doing ! I trust her 110% with my child anyday of the week
I've had a positive experience with my child in daycare here for 1 year. My child has been happy attending -age 2. The owner is present at this daycare which is the my most valuable thing. The owner has good communication skills and follows state regulations.
I have known penny for 20 plus years and she is the type of woman that would take the shirt off her own back to help you. She is the most amazing woman, and mother I have ever met. I have seen what people are saying and they should really know the whole story before you say your opinion on it. I trust penny and her workers with my children any day or time.
I’ve had so many issues with this daycare, which is super unfortunate because my daughter loved Ms Meghan and the other students, however after a few to they incidents, I finally lost my cool when the director of the daycare (Penny Jewell Spaulding) told me that they implemented a dress code for my two year old because she has olde robots at the daycare who stare at the little kids. My 1. Concern is why are we victim blaming and not dealing with the problem itself, which is the boy(s) who are gawking at 2 year olds shoulders to the point where they can no longer wear spaghetti straps… my second concern, is how is this happening when they are supposed to be divided by age. I have looked up the licensing and have found multiple citations from the date that included not treating the children right. Wish I knew this before!
