Magnifico Playhouse Inc

Reviews should come from parents whose children attend this place, not from former employees that might have been fired for number of reasons. We had our daughter at this day care for over a year, and not only that she LOVES to go there, but we actually have a problem picking her up - she just doesn't want to leave. They take care of the children as if they were their own - on numerous of occasions, our daughter came home with her nails trimmed - I almost felt embarrassed for not taking care of it myself. We also pick her up at different times (anywhere from 1pm to 5:30pm) and we NEVER find her crying, hungry or dirty - or any other child for that matter. They trained her how to sit (at 5 month of age), how to walk, how to use sippy cup, AND how to spend the day without the pacifier. She is 16 month old now, and understands a whole lot of words. Mostly learned at the day care. We are completely comfortable leaving our baby at Magnifico, and highly recommend it to all of the parents considering this place. Pros: Great people, great environment, affordable Cons: None so far more

THERE IS NOT A WHOLE NOT OF CHILD SUPERVISION AT THE MAGNIFICO PLAYHOUSE. EVEN THOUGH THE TEACHERS ARE PHYSICALLY AT WORK DOES NOT ACTUALLY MEAN THEY ARE ""WATCHING"" YOUR CHILD. I KNOW I WAS AN EMPLOYEE. I SEEN IT FOR MY SELF. THE SAME LADIES THAT WORK THERE TODAY STARTED WORKING WHEN THE DAYCARE FIRST OPENED. THEY DONT EVEN ENJOY THEIR JOB AND THEY TALK VERY NEGATIVE ABOUT CHILDREN AND THEIR PARENTS. NONE OF THE TEACHERS HAVE ANY COMPLETED CHILDCARE IN COLLEGE. THEY CHARGE 195.00 A WEEK PER KID FOR TUITION AND FEED THE KIDS A 29 CENTS BOX OF MAC AND CHEESE FROM ALDIS. THEN LORI (THE OWNER) WILL MAKE THE PARENTS SIGN A CONTRACT FOR TUITION PAYMENTS AND IF YOU DO NOT PAY THE TUITON ORIF U DECIDEDTO TRANSFER DAYCARES SHE WILL TRY , HENCE THE WORD ""TRY"" TO TAKE YOU TO COURT FOR OUTSTANDING TUITON.HOWEVER, IT DOESNT WORK. DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS ATTEND HERE!! I (AND OTHER TEACHERS)ALSO HAVE WITNESS FIRST HAND DONNA AND LORI PHYSICALLY ABUSE CHILDREN . DCFS WAS THERE MORE THAN ONCE!!!THE STUDENT TEACHER RATIOS ARE NOT MET BY THE STATE, SHE HAS KIDS COME TO THE DAYCARE THAT ARE NOT EVEN ON THE BOOKS Pros: CHEAPEST TUITON IN A FIVE MILE RADIUS Cons: UNATTENTIVE STAFF -UNAPPROPRRIATE CHILD DISCIPLINE more
