The School of the Little Ones

my children have been attending this center since the age of 2/4/8/9, they are now 12/14/19/ 21. This center, the owner and the staff have become like family to us. They not only have this center but the have other activities to do with the children during each sports season. They have covered my childrens field trip fees when I have not been able to. During a rough patch a few years ago, they blessed my family with a basket to help us during the thanksgiving season. My oldest daughter was recently employed there until she could find another job to get back on her feet. I wish April Robertson(owner) and director many more years of blessings and prosperity for the blessings she had shared with my family and others like me who needed quality care for my children while I went to work to try to provide them a better life.

Never, ever, ever let your child attend this daycare!! I caught the teachers/owner stealing from me for the third time. The first time my money was given back to me after they got caught in a lie about the price of a field trip. The second time, they refused to replace a $30 blanket that "came up missing" and today $12 was stolen. Only after a verbal, almost physical, altercation took place did I get my $12 returned! There is no hand sanitizer anywhere in the building which explains why my son is always sick every time he goes back! I tried to keep him out of this day care as much as possible until i could find a better solution without losing my job. Every time he'd attend, he would come home with a runny nose, coughing, fever etc.
Taking toddlers outside to play with no coats on in low temp weather. My 4 year old son told me several times that they made him lie on the bare floor for nap time. No sheet, no cot. Charging one price for field trips and then when I call the location they are supposed to attend, I find out the pricing is much cheaper! Cursing at me over the phone, hanging up on me, allegedly beating other children with plastic bats!!! ���� This I've heard several times from other children and my own. Although my children never claimed to be hit with a bat, all three of them stated that they've witnessed other children being hit with one. They have even let people pick my children up from there who were not even on the pick up list! How dangerous that could've become! They have given my children food that they were allergic to and were specifically told not to, and was even noted in their files. Just yesterday Ms. April became violent towards me. She followed me out of the building screaming and cursing and threatening to fight me in front of all the staff and children. All because she got caught in yet another lie about stealing money. I could go on and on. I will be calling and reporting them because this is beyond unacceptable.
