St James Child Care receives mostly positive reviews praising staff quality, affordability, and care for children. However, two negative reviews cite unprofessional management behavior and general dissatisfaction without specific details.
My family has been using St James for over 15 years. All of my children have gone here for preschool and daycare. Living in a small community and having a facility like this here is incredibly handy and much needed. They do their best to keep the cost down, they provide 2 healthy main means and snacks everyday. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and all around amazing people. I have never had an issue with any the staff, they all care deeply for the children.
Excellent after school daycare. My son usually goes there during the week from around 3:05pm to 5-6pm and doesn't want to leave when I come to get him. The staff is very alert and on their toes, and the facility has a lot of safeguards with children in mind. They also do my son's homework with him after school, which is a godsend given my commute and the hours I work. It means that by the time I pick him up and get back to Longview, all we have to worry about is dinner and enjoying eachother's company. Last but not least, their pricing models are extremely reasonable. It's one of the few after-school daycare facilities I've seen that are easy to afford without getting a second job.
I watched the office Manager embarrass herself really good. She slammed the door in a nice ladies face who was applying for a job. Shame on the office manager. I was going to bring my kids there. Not now. If she's rude to an adult, how mean will she be our children. They should replace her. That was unprofessional, rude, and plain mean. Shame shame shame. Disappointed. Gossiping amongst the community is also unprofessional, and it's discriminating her in the community. I hope United Way investigates.
Love eveything this place has to offer!! Keep up the great work
Worst place to have your kids be watched by in this town ..taking my business elsewhere
