Tricia's Learning Center is a wonderful Childcare Center! My boys have been going there for years. All the staff are friendly, well educated in Early Childhood Education. Our family has been treated with respect, and Kindness. Highly recommend Tricia's Learning Center!
Doesn't look anything like the pictures, all they do is watch movies all day, when they do get to go outside its during the hottest part of the day and then they're not allowed to sit in the shade. No one is vaccinated and they do not wear masks. Today when I picked up my toddler he hadn't been given any of his food that I packed for him except for a 3oz bottle of yogurt. He cried the whole way home about how much his tummy hurt. No wonder, when he didn't eat ALL D$%& DAY!
I am very concerned for my niece that attends this day care. I believe that it is very dirty and not well kept. It smells like mold and I've noticed cleaning supplies in places kids could easily get to. As well as kids just running around outside on the street while the teachers are on their phones. I believe this place is unfit to be open and needs to be inspected and reevaluated for their child care licence. Some very bad things happening here.
