DON'T TRUST THESE PEOPLE! THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT YOUR MONEY!!!
My son went here for a year. The first 6 months were good with the same teacher and no incidents of conceern, but when he moved up to the next class room, they had trouble keeping teachers. He went through 3 teachers in 6 months and ended up having a difficult time.
My son complained of being bullied by other children and after I expressed my concern, it went downhill from there. They began to label my son as a bully and when I asked my son about the incidents hat had occurred, he stated that the teachers didn't see what had happened and when I asked what the teachers were doing, he said they were talking with each other. I popped in early a few times and saw this for myself.
The Assistant Director called to notify me today that they had closed early for the second day in a row (I didn't get the memo because they stuck it in my son's back pack which stays in his cubby there) and she said that my son was out on the playground ""UNATTENDED"" for about an hour. That's right, she waited a whole hour before she even called me! I was completely disgusted and outraged to say the very least. We had paid our tuition for a full week (They were open only 3 full days for the week) and they had the audacity to tell me that my son was unattended and that they did not have the staff to watch him. They were of course still open for the family picknick for parents who could be there at 3:00 in the afternoon on a Thursday regular work day and assume care.
When I tried to speak with the Director she agreed that ""unattended wasn't the best choice of words"" and the Assistant Director who said it to me slithered from around the corner to defend herself by lying to my face and denying in front of the owner and Director that she had ever said that to me.
Since I'm sure nobody was around when she made that call to me, I'm sure they would take her word over mine. The fact of the matter is that she said it and I'm appalled that it even came out of her mouth since they are supposed to be people we trust to care for our children and she is a mother herself. She is a LIAR and since she lied to my face about that I wonder what other lies she has told us, or just how far she would go if there was an incident there that caused serious harm or danger. I believe she would lie about anything to cover something up or to save her own skin.
I'm writing this to let people know, it may look peachy keen at this facility when they are trying to sell you, but it's how they actually treat you and your children after you have a concern that will tell you the truth. I waited too long to pull my child out of here and I did it for the sake of trying to keep stability for my son while we tried to ""wait it out"" because the school year was ending soon.
These people are very concerned with your social status and your money. I noticed that after I told them that we had other plans for summer care, they treated us a little differently and even called a few times to tell me I needed to pick up my son because he was having a tantrum and they didn't want him there. I don't think they are well prepared to deal with regular child behavior. They sent him home because he said the word stupid and blew a raspberry at the teacher, and yet I've seen them allow another child who kicked a child in the mouth on purpose stay at this school and terrorize his classmates repetetively on a daily basis.
Please beware! There are better child care facilities out there.
I hope you find a place for your child where you can rest assured that they genuinely care about your family.
Pros: Local
Cons: Money oriented management doesnt care about children
