  The teacher did not inform the parents of the child’s accidents and injuries. No phone call or written report. No plans of action. The situation was handled very unprofessionally.

  Worst ever! The communication between the director and Assistant director was horrible. When I first did a walk thru I explained the difficulties I was having with other day cares with my son to Dorthy. My son was having trouble with listening and controlling his temper. Which she understood, and accepted his challenges. As the time went by. I took their advice. I went to a doctor for help. Which the doctor sent me to a specialist. I had taken to him to get evaluated thru the "Child Fun". I even had a psychologist go to there day care to see what she can see what the day care was seeing. The psychologist said directly to me " He is a typical boy with a lot of energy." When i had told Dorthy that the psychologist had said that. She was in disbelief. Every time i had walked thru those doors. It was ALWAYS such a negative comment. I've told them many of times. Try saying something positive to say about my child. They made my son look like such a horrible child. 25-30 kids in a class room with 2 teachers, and 14 beds. Also always short staffed. I've probably had to miss 4-5 days of work within a week, because of it. Wow! Having to put my child next to the exit door to the play area outside is UNSAFE! I had asked a teacher there "Where are you putting my child down for nap time?" She said, and pointed directly next to the door. Also told me the reason why they were putting him there was because he was playing with the toys. Well duh! remove the toys from the shelf for the time being. What really made me upset is. They were trying to find a way to get rid of my child. Yes! he was a challenge. You accepted it! and it shows that your staff can not handle or have the patience for these kids. The kids are bored there. They need more activities. Almost 3 hour naps are crazy. 15-20 minute outside play time is crazy. My son NEVER came home happy. The teachers never interact with the kids. They sit down, and yell at them from a distance. I've heard NOTHING but bad things about this place, and i really hope no one ever takes them here. There corporate offices runs just as bad as they do. I've called a few times, and was told I would get a phone call, and never did. Poor facility.

  Making the change to Kindercare was a tough decision. My daughter an Early Educator had to make some changes for her daughter. We both have worked for the company and came to the realization that a structured environment would best fit her needs. It has been two weeks and we have been extremely happy. The Director not only welcomed my granddaughter, but reassured my daughter everything will be OK. I picked her up and was greeted warmly and told how well she is doing. Miss Laurie her teacher is and always has been an amazing teacher. Thank You all for being so wonderful.
