Child Care Review Pros and Cons
Pros: Nothing.Cons: The directors and teachers appear nice on the surface but are quite the opposite. The quality of the teachers is extremely poor. I signed my daughter up thinking she was going to a healthy, safe environment. After four days of careful observation I immediately pulled her out due to observations around neglect, mental abuse and inappropriate discipline.
Features and Comments
Features: If you choose to send your child here do a lot of discreet observations first before giving them your deposit because they will NOT give your deposit back regardless of the situation.Comments: I saw a child fall on the playground. The teacher did not pick her up to see if she was ok. Instead, she just told her to get up. The child got more upset and threw a toy. The teacher reacted by grabbing her by the arms in a very rough way, ploppsed her on the edge of the sandbox and told her to sit there and she couldn't play. I saw a child crying because he was scared of the lawn mowers while outside. The teacher left him crying, did not comfort him and made a comment to one of the other teachers that he couldn't deal with him anymore. I saw a teacher yelling at the top of her lungs at the children to sit down at the edge of the carpet if they wanted to go outside. One of the toddlers was slow to sit down. She immediately yelled at him that if he didn't get there now she would make him sit alone. I saw the teacher make my child sit alone against the wall with no lunch while all other kids were eating lunch to punish her for spilling her water. The teachers give "time outs" to 2-year-olds. It may not be the form of discipline everyone agrees with, but it's happening there even though the director says they are not supposed to. Do not send your child here!
