Funny thing about these 3 reviews; they are from the same family of a child who was not being harmed at this center but was investigated at home due to the staff's findings and reporting it as it is their job to do so.

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

My great grandson attended this daycare 4 days a week for about 4 weeks between July and August. After the first few days, he would cry when we dropped him off. We noticed that he started wetting himself even though he was fully potty trained since he is almost 4. His mother abruptly pulled him out of this facility when there was a concern that they grabbed him too hard and may have left a mark on his arm. When we took him to the pediatrician, she did say that he had a very bad rash from not being wiped properly. Once we stopped sending him, we didn’t have that problem anymore. Fortunately he wasn’t there very long. My great grandson was in a daycare since he was born and we never had any problem and in just 4 weeks attending here, we had a lot of concerns. I would not recommend sending a child here

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

My son was not cared for properly at this daycare. He only attended this daycare for 5 weeks and during that time I noticed a lot of bruises on his legs and on his head. They sent a report home to me that he banged heads with another boy causing a large bruise on his forehead. I learned that they told the same story to another parent there about their child to explain an injury to her daughter. A report was made to the local children and youth agency and when speaking with them I expressed my concerns and told them of my experience and suspicions. My son no longer goes to this daycare and I would not recommend sending a child here.

My grandson attended this daycare and a report was made to children and youth because of a mark on his arm that appeared like someone had grabbed him too hard and left a fingerprint mark. When taking him to the pediatrician after he left the daycare, nothing was apparent on his arm. Our family believes that the injury occurred in the daycare and by the time he left, it was no longer there. We have serious concerns that children are being handled too roughly by staff there and as a Licensed Social Worker with 7 years experience in child welfare, I wanted to alert the public and advocate for these kids. With everything that goes on in the world we can't be too careful and behavior like this type of mistreatment of children should not be tolerated.
