Shady Oaks Learning Ctr

Horrible owner. She changed the rates on me after my child was enrolled. She was nice and sweet and fake at first but once she had my money her true self emerged. The other ratings on her about Monica are true. Do not leave your kids here. She is more interested in making money than running a healthy place for children. more

quality care! my children have attended this center for years and we love it! They are wonderful caring staff. The director does a great job and is always available. My children have learned so much and the turn over is very very little. more

I'm a past employee too. The ONLY reason I would consider taking my child there is because of the teachers. Monica Titerle, the owner, is a terrible director. She's mean to her employees, and very sneaky. She bends the truth and lies about everthing else. She makes her employees lie to the parents. The only thing we were allowed to tell the parents, was that their child or children, had a wonderful day. Even if that child was having a rough day and was hurt by another child, we had to lie and make it seem like it was that childs fault. The only thing that woman does right is, she hires good, loving women to teach these children. Unfortunately, no one stays around long because of the way Monica does her employees. Pros: Awesome teachers-Mrs. Barbara, Ms. Lisa, and Mrs. Susie Cons: Monica Titerle more

It was a joy to have my two kids enrolled at Shady Oaks. The large play area in the back includes a rabbit and chicken containment so that the kids can safely observe the animals. The teachers always have a variety of crafts and projects for the kids. My son was well prepared for kinder when he left and my girl will be too. It is relaxing because it used to be a home and has spacious classrooms and many windows to a well landscaped outside. There is structure but it isn't overwhelming. I was always contacted immediately if there was a concern about my children. Unfortunately, not many teachers stay long, but they must all be screened well because I haven't found one I disliked. Pros: kind teachers and relaxed environment Cons: high turnaround rate for teachers more

I have to agree with tad bit shady. as a former employee. i saw a lot of favoritism in the way children were cared for. 2 of the children I cared for were very sweet. their mama had a habit of poppling in just to watch them play without the kids knowing she was there. the director and owner did not like this at all and they were very ugly to those kids when they didnt think anyone was watching. when I went up against them about the favoritism, my hours got cut, i was taken out of the infant room and put with the 2's and i quit because they made my job so miserable. its sad that they would discriminate against a child who is well loved by his family. that is a blessing for the child and should be celebrated. I wuold never reccommend them to anyone for daycare. Pros: has a lot of activities Cons: biased against certain children more

I have had my 2 children at Shady Oaks for almost 2 years and have found them to be wonderful! They take great care of my children and I completely trust them. They have always called me and let me know when something is wrong with the girls and they care very much for their well-being. I highly recommend them as a parent of 2 children that go every day! more

I was a past employee at this facility and from the outside looking in it is a pretty nice place. I left Shady Oaks soon after being there by choice. I had a student in my room who had been sick for a majority of the day. I informed my superiors and my students situation was disregaurded. After lunch her tempature read one hunded-one degrees ( for toddleers that is very serious). After her tempature was read her parents were still not informed.... I was totally against that but was not authorized to call parents, only my superiors could and they choose not to. WHY? I am not sure as to why. When her mother had come to pick her up later that evening I told her about Madison's tempature. When her mother asked me how long she'd been running that temp. and why she hadn't been called I was shooed away. They LIED AND SAID THEY HAD JUST READ IT 15 MINUTES PRIOR. Out of concern for the child seeing as though I am A mother of two I informed her of what really had happened incase she needed medical attention. Days later the mother withdrew her child and I felt lots of tension because of that. I never denied the fact that I told because I had to do what I knew was best and that was the consequense. SHADY OAKS LEARNING CENTER lacks the ABILITY to do the right thing to do when it comes to OUR CHILDREN...\r more
