Play Learn And Grow Daycare LLC

My daughter went here for maybe three weeks. The staff and owner are very unprofessional. I am a pop up parent and plenty of times lunch was running late and there is no curriculum for the kids. I took my daughter home on two pop ups at 1 o'clock because she still hadn't received lunch. The third day I came I waited outside for an hour before someone opened the door and was told that they were teaching. I asked why no one answered the phone and the owner was very rude. I collected my daughter's belongings informed her that is was my daughter's last day and paid her my copay to close out the week even though it was Wednesday. None of the staff is trained. Everyone is unprofessional. They often ran out of utensils and cups. She advertised home cook meals but they had ambassadors chicken on 2 occasions. Beware Natasha Johnson is the owner (she placed a positive review).

Don’t go to this day care. The owner NATASHA JOHNSON is HIGHLY DISRESPECTFUL. She does not have a humble wholesome heart, she is mean & wicked. If any person can tell a mother “ I’ll make sure your child won’t receive daycare “ is not a good person at heart. Before you send your kids here READ THE REVIEWS they are allllll accurate. Expect the two that says their child loves it. Which i don’t believe because one of the reviews is written by the owner ( Natasha Johnson ). This place need new management or to shut down in entirety!

Horrible horrible horrible!! Always closed. They never seem to answer the door on time. Always gossiping about the kids and their parents. Witnessed a staff pushing the head of another toddler, and on another occasion witness an infant that does not walk, and only crawls in a class where all the kids can walk and run. The only reason I noticed was because I almost tripped over her. I was heated and asked why she was there and was given a lame excuse.

This Daycare is a very safe, clean, and healthy environment for my kids. Most of these comments are past parents who wanted the owner to accommodate them; instead of being a good parent and doing right by their own kids.

Never in my life have I come across someone as disrespectful at Natasha Johnson. She purposely provides services for a certain demographic because she believes no one would advocate for themselves and/or their children. When I called her to advocate for a homeless family I am helping she told me she would make sure the mother's daycare services don't go through at any daycare she applies to. After making the mother wait there for an hour, she got upset because the mom asked a teacher to call to ask her when she would be there. She was annoyed and then told mom there was "no space" for her daughter, even though she told her differently just the day before, which is why she even went on the first place. Mom and babies have been homeless for over 4 months, mom just got into school, and badly needs daycare services. NATASHA JOHNSON proceeded to come in, scream at mom, put her hands in her face all in front of the kids at the school. and kicked her and baby out...advising her employees not to help her when mom asked what bus she should get on to go back downtown because her cell phone is disconnected. This woman is connected is the city of Newark from what I have heard and has been getting away with the mistreatment of mothers and their children for 12 years. Yes I am leaving a comment here , but also, as a community we are starting a petition to get this place SHUT DOWN. These reviews are disgusting and so it Natasha Johnson who conveniently left 5 stars. WE MUST TAKE CONTROL OF OUR COMMUNITIES. WE MUST STOP ALLOWING PEOPLE TO CAUSE HARM TO US AND OUR CHILDREN. BLACK CHILDREN MATTER. BLACK MOTHERS MATTER. BLACK VOICES MATTER. BLACK LIVES MATTER. Natasha Johnson, you should be ASHAMED of yourself.
