Director's Comments
Question to director: Do you have any additional thoughts on what parents should consider when looking at your school? Is there any advice that you would like to provide to prospective parents?
Go with your own instincts, and gut feeling. if you are happy and comfortable than your child will be comfortable. wherever you choose to put your child, communicate with their care takers. the more you tell them the better they can care for your child.
Parents' Comments
Parent #1
The children at this day care are made to remove their shoes upon entering the building. the meals made for the children consist of frozen chicken nuggets and ramen noodles. there is no discipline, as the administration doesn't believe in any time of "timeout". if you're looking for a day care that will benefit your childs learning and socialization experience, then this is NOT the place for you. if you're looking for a good quality day care then call a bunch a different places and request a time to come in with your child and observe what goes on during a normal day and stay as long as you want. what you see for a mere ten minutes or what the administration tells you isn't always what goes on during the entire day.
Parent #2
Substandard cleanliness. The worst daycare and attitude.
