In The Zone

Be careful at this daycare. The big concern is preschool. Preschoolers need to be handled with patience. Teacher has been known to grab children and leave marks/bruises. Thank goodness for the parent telling me because they did not notify me of this incident. Parent had to go through the justice system to get justice. Glad to get my kid out of there and to another facility with patience teachers. more

The facility is clean. The price is reasonable. I am a little creeped by the large amount of males on the staff - not saying they aren't good caregivers, but they generally are not in this position. This in combination with many ""blind"" areas that the camera system cannot see makes me nervous. Though that alone isn't my complaint. This facility also fosters an abusive or bullying environment. When children hit/shove/hurt each other all that is said is ""Kids will be kids."" When confronted with this I got two resposnes first kids will be kids, then that they don't condone this action. Though I had seen many times as I dropped off my child children rough housing to a point I would not be comfortable with my child to be involved with, and nothing was done to stop the actions. Though when my young child in turn hits a teacher it is not tolerated. (which I agree with, but how is a child to know its not ok if they foster hitting other students) The facility refuses to take any responsiblity or to work with us to stop future incidents. more

I have 2 children enrolled at Skate Zone that absolutely love it. In August I'll be enrolling my twins as well. Their prices are affordable, and the owner goes out of his way to keep the parents happy. My kids are always disappointed if they have to ride the bus home instead of going to Skate Zone. The best part is if the kids are out for holidays during the school year, they still provide care without any additional fees. This is rare to find, and such a blessing for a family of 6! They also provide surveillance online so you can check on your kids from work. The staff is always friendly and as long as they're open, I will continue to send my children here. Highly recommended!! Pros: Kids love it and Affordable Cons: None that I can think of... more

No child was bullied at In The Zone. We have no tolerence of such a thing taking place. This parent was upset because she was asked to pay damages when her sone stabbed several holes in the back of a seat on a brand new bus that I paid $80k for. I truly am sorry that she feels the way that she does. As for accountability, I cant teach her to make her children accountable for their actions, but I surely can make her. Let me just say this. I do not take slander lightly. If you chooose to slander my name or my business expect to receive a letter from my attorney Geoffory Harrison Esq. and expect to find yourself in court. Thank you and good day. Pros: I truly care about my customers Cons: I cant please everyone. Sorry more

If you are thinking for one second of enrolling your child in their preschool, afterschool care or summer camp think again. My 6yo child was recently involved in an incident where we were expected to pay damages and my child expelled from the program for 3 days when he was the victim of bullys. The other 8 & 9 yo children involved were not punished at all. I was forced to scramble to find alternative arrangements since the owner of this establishment refused to see reason and the truth in the matter. Apparently my child is the second child that this has happened to that I know of. Be aware!! more
