I have used this provider for more than 6 months

This school should come with a warning sign -- and DYFS should be doing random visits to actually witness the mistreatment of certain students. Abusive and absolutely not appropriate for children -- our doctor has everything documented as do we -- I have no problem sharing our horror story from here with anyone who asks...doubt anyone from the school will as they KNOW they don't deserve to be open and should be prosecuted for their bullying of our child.

We were initially impressed with the curriculum offered by this daycare. We had no idea the staff was cruel or that the school employed so many bigots. The way they terrorized our child is despicable and alarming. No one should ever have to endure what our child, or we, were forced to experience. We couldn't wait to find a new place -- the school and its staff are extremely unwelcoming and closed-minded. BEWARE!
Clearly the staff is ill-equipped to handle normal childhood behavior. The outrageous demands and inquisitions we endured because of normal childhood behavior (why does your child blink every time we clap loudly in their face?!?!) was mind-boggling. Our pediatrician called DYFS on the school for their harassment and belligerent intolerance towards us which was disruptive to our child's emotional and psychological well-being and then begged us to get our child out of this school ASAP for fear of continued harassment, retaliation and torment of our child.
The staff members are prejudicial and ignorant at the same time -- a dangerous combination. They substitute their "web-searching" knowledge for that of actual doctors and lawyers. It's amazing this school doesn't have more complaints -- then again, looking at the makeup of the school and based on our experience, it is no wonder that the school utterly lacks diversity, including in its staff, who post racist messages on their Facebook accounts (we have the screenshots to prove it).

Ac nursery is an excellent daycare. I was so pleased with the staff. They actually cared for my son in a manner that let me know my son was safe and had no need to worry. They play with the children and also teach them and you can be sure your child is in safe hands. This school will be a true blessing in your life. Simply because you can't find too many daycares that actually care for the children. Ms Erin will work with you to get everything planned out she's an excellent supervisor. If you choose ac day nursery your making a great choice.

Ever since Erin Brown come in our life has been so crazy. Erin Brown, the Director and Ms. Shawnesa, a long time teacher here, accused my son of hurting other children and teachers. When I asked to see video of it they told me there was nothing for me to see and that they don't have to show my anything. They say one thing but yet treat others differently. I use to be satisfied with this day care but if your not 100 % black they are so racist towards to and very unprofessional. One day Ms. Shawnesa showed up with a hickie on her neck. I donated a brand new laptop to Ms. Shawnesa's class for the school, never saw it once she took it home and it never came back again.

I took my son to this place expecting to have a good experience for my son and i. It turn into a nightmare for my son and i. They are very unprofessional and have now creatated issues for my son with other good and worthy providers as he expects that all providers are as the ones in this regretful place. There only intrest is to get through the day by bulling these children. I truelly regret it and my mistake to send my son here now has a price of mistrust.
