Well where to start. I called and asked if I could drop by to look around the place and get some more information. The lady was very nice over the phone and welcomed me to come by. That was great until my husband and I got there. If you are looking for a "clean, white, clinical kind of daycare" this is not that place. The building is very old and needs updating. Floors do not feel very solid when you walk on them. We were given a tour and taken to one of the classrooms that my son might end up being in. He is 2 yrs old. Well the teacher was just sitting there not intereacting with the children and there was no sort of activity going on. Just children walking around aimlessly or running around playing. My son didn't even want me to put him down. They told me they potty train the children which is great except for the fact that the room smelled like urine. I am a nurse and take care of patients who are incontinent besides the fact that I have a 2 yr old. I know what urine smells like. Either kids arent getting changed often enough or the place isn't getting cleaned well enough. I'll let you make your own assumptions about that. If your child were older it may not be so bad. They can tell you what they did and if everything is going okay. But I did not feel comfortable leaving my two yr old there. I'd rather pay more money to put him somewhere else. They were the cheapest of all the child care centers I found. I was shocked to hear how low the prices were until I got there. Now completely understood. You get what you pay for.
i can say from personal experience that this daycare hasnt changed from 1984. I worked there as a teachers aide even hou I had no prior exp with children they hired me w/o a back ground ck or anything.when I orked there yrs ago they left me in the charge of a bunch of kids in the school age group, becaus the teacher had to go home to hr adult sick daughter. the kids acted up simply becaus therrree were 2 may in that rm it was like a cage of raging aninials.i loved the job at first i was in the 2yr old rm and did fine. then hey switched me to the rm with the olde kids.out of control.they also treated me very rudely as employer and the lady that ran that zoo was not a peope person...and I saw her be very rude to her paying customers.if they wee a sec lte the would b on thephone.it was a god awful exp for me and I wouldnt reccomnd this place ver
I truly never liked the place...it smells and the morning office lady treated me like crap. She likes to pick and choose who she is nice to obviously. I paid on time, never late getting my child, and never had issues with behavior problems. Just dont like places that cant treat everyone with respect.
