Although I have never sent a poor review in my life, I feel obligated to warn other parents about what a truly terrible experience we had at this school. The daycare's big selling point is that it is accredited and they say that their focus is on teaching, however, from what I saw, the ""teachers"" rarely seemed to pay any attention to the children at all. They walked around cleaning the room all day, rather than interacting with the children. I personally witnessed children hitting and pushing each other every day, and the ""teachers"" just ignored it because they aren't allowed to impose any effective disciplinary actions. My own child started acting out within days of starting there after coming home with horrible bruises up and down his body. He had been enrolled in daycare most of his life and had never had an issue, but he started to cry uncontrollably every time we pulled into the KRK parking lot. I pulled him out of KRK and placed him in another program and the bad behavior immediately ceased. In fact, he is happier than he has ever been! The teachers at his current daycare provide a safe, happy, structured learning enviornment under which he has excelled! I noticed immediately that the children were no doubt happier and (I'm sorry to say, but clearly) more advanced at his new school. After watching the video feed, I could see why. There is rarely a moment that passes by when the teachers (and they deserve that title), aren't interacting with the children and teaching them through fun activities. Somehow, the room is always impeccably clean (much cleaner than at KRK), even though they never seem to take their eyes off the children. It wasn't until I witnessed the new school and how MUCH BETTER it was than KRK, that I truly understood how horrible KRK really was...the two experiences are as different as night and day. I am glad that there are other parents who have had positive experiences at KRK, as I am sure there are some classrooms that are run appropriately. However, I am positive that the parents who wrote positive reviews did not have children in the same classroom that my son was in. It honestly makes me feel sick to my stomach to know that there are children being treated that way, when they could be somewhere so much better! Please think twice before you send your child here, please!
