What Parents Say
While the facility is noted for being clean and conveniently located, several parents report significant concerns regarding staff rudeness, high turnover, and unsafe supervision ratios. One review highlights severe safety risks, including a single staff member managing many children without adequate oversight and the owner's unresponsive remote monitoring. Another parent cites serious operational failures, specifically failing to pay employees and neglecting administrative duties.
I personally would not recommend this daycare. I had negative experiences here with my child. And since leaving I have run into other parents that feel the same. At the time my child attended I learned there was only one young lady watching over a dozen children of all ages from open till (she said) about 8-8:30 when another teacher or the owner arrived. This is dangerous. As she was watching these children she had to keep leaving the classroom to open the door for parents dropping off more kids. And who is watching her back and helping with our children? No one. I waited for Curtis the owner to arrive which was at least 30 mins later, and to conclude my concerns he "reassured" me that he watches from the cameras at his home / phone. Horrible. And if something happened to the teacher , as a parent you would not be able to get into the facility to help. You would have to wait for him to leave his house, get in his car, and drive to the daycare to open the door right. (But at least he can watch any tragedy unfold from the cameras). I hope nothing ever happens mind you. But, I could not pay people hundreds of dollars to possibly put my child in unnecessary danger because they don't see what I see.
I WOULD NEVER TAKE MY CHILDREN HERE SHE DOENT PAY HER EMPLOYEES SHE FORGETS TO SIGN CHECKS AND NEVER PAYS THEM
Nice clean daycare center and great location! Some of the staff are rude and the teacher turn over rate is high.
Good
