My granddaughter attended this daycare, but she became ill during her time there. Her mother kept her at home for about 2-3 weeks, but when she returned, she fell ill on the same day. As a result, she will no longer be attending the daycare since it is not sanitary at all. I want to make sure I don't forget to mention that they have a texting service that lets parents know how their child is doing. On the last day my granddaughter attended, the staff sent a picture of my granddaughter still wearing her snow pants, and it was already after lunchtime. This means that my granddaughter was never fully undressed from her outdoor garments while sitting in daycare the whole time. When my granddaughter's mother received the text from the staff, she contacted them and asked why her daughter still had her snow pants on. This is neglectful and unnecessary on the staff's part.

This place is my home away from home. They were so nice and “loving” to me when I had my time there. It was a “load” of “fun” for every single little one in there. That wonderful place as a “hole” is what little boys and girls dream of at night. If I ever met a genie, I would spend all 3 of my wishes to go back to that amazing time in my life when I was at the School of the Little Ones!

Never, ever, ever let your child attend this daycare!! Most of the staff is disgusting literally! Underpaid, uneducated, unqualified teachers must be all Ms. April can employ here. I caught the teachers/owner stealing from me for the third time. The first time my money was given back to me after they got caught in a lie about the price of a field trip. The second time, they refused to replace a $30 blanket that "came up missing" and today $12 was stolen. Only after a verbal, almost physical, altercation took place did I get my $12 returned! The workers and owners are unprofessional, disrespectful, dishonest and untrustworthy. If you are stealing from me, I can only imagine what you could do or have been doing to my children?! Do you know how much extra money the owner is making if he/she overcharges each parent for every field trip or event they host? Unneccasary dishonesty! There is no hand sanitizer anywhere in the building which explains why my son is always sick every time he goes back! I tried to keep him out of this day care as much as possible until i ckuld find a better solution without losing my job. Every time he'd attend, he would come home with a runny nose, coughing, fever etc. They feed the kids a graham cracker and milk when they should be eating a full meal. At 6 and 7 pm! Yes! Children that have come from a long day at school, done their homework and ready to eat dinner, get a small cracker with milk/juice/water! Taking toddlers outside to play with no coats on in low temp weather. My 4 year old son told me several times that they made him lie on the bare floor for nap time. No sheet, no cot, no blanket. Of course when I confronted his teacher, she stated that he was not being truthful. But this is the same teacher who lied on my spouse and my mom stating that they took the blanket from the daycare center when it came up "missing" . I have witnessed with my own eyes, them using the younger children to "accept donations" on the side of the road of a main street (very close to busy traffic) while it's raining outside..Holding up signs! All for them to make more money! Charging one price for field trips and then when I call the location they are supposed to attend, I find out the pricing is much cheaper! Cursing at me over the phone, hanging up on me, allegedly beating other children with plastic bats!!! 😤 This I've heard several times from other children and my own. Although my children never claimed to be hit with a bat, all three of them stated that they've witnessed other children being hit with one. They have even let people pick my children up from there who were not even on the pick up list! How dangerous that could've become! They have given my children food that they were allergic to and were specifically told not to, and was even noted in their files. I will be calling and reporting them AGAIN first thing in the morning, because this is beyond unacceptable. I could go on and on. Problem after problem. Please spare yourself the time, worry and frustration by not enrolling your precious children here. They are worth so much more than how these people treat them.

This place doesn't even have a website...Doesn't that instantly say bad news to you??? Someone should really do something about this place. I always see a line of them walking down GRANGER road which is a busy truck route. There is one adult at the front of the line then about 20-30 very small children holding hands and one adult at the end...shouldn't there be an adult for every 2-3 kids??? How dangerous and you can tell the workers walking them have no interest in their safety as they are looking at the cell phones as they lead the kids down the road. They have them at the gas station there in the parking lot...The station where there has been shootings. Do the parents know they take them on these walks? Why are the kids always lined up on the curb holding signs up that cannot be read? Begging for money? Seriously?? So you pay them to teach your children how to be bums and beg for money on the curb....This place should seriously be investigated. Parents you should actually check the place out that you send your kids to. I found they are disgusting by reading their inspection reports on the ODJFS website. The drivers I see driving the horribly rusty beat up old busses cut people off and take turns a bit on the speedy side. I would never ever take a child to this place. When you call there they are rude and bothered by your questions such as do you have space for a child to attend? I would love to see this awful place shut down and I wonder how it has been open as long as it has.
