Tutor Time

Worst daycare I’ve ever dealt with. Do not send your kids here. I witnessed one teacher aggressively grab a child. They were not changing my sons diaper nearly enough. Everyday when I picked him up his diaper was over flowing. One day it was so bad it leaked out of the diaper down his legs to his socks. This daycare should be shut down. The teachers are young and inexperienced. To top it off thus daycare is way over priced.

I enrolled here after touring and meeting the business manager/​center director. I was happy it provided lunches and was able to take kids who were not yet potty trained.
However, i soon began to see problems. 1) one of my kids had an accident and was wearing the spare clothes I had sent for such a purpose when i picked him up. The problem was that nobody told me and the ONLY way I knew to take home and wash the soiled clothes was that he wasn’t wearing what I dressed him in that morning.
2) Discipline (or not). Not sure what kind of policy they have for when kids purposely injure other kids. One child tried to pull my son’s pants down in the class room and my child sustained an bleeding scratch that we were not notified about. The scratch was never properly cleaned until bath time the next morning, by which time it was infected and he needed oral antibiotics to recover. Additionally, my children reported to me that when another child was making bad choices, he was told by staff, ‘that he may have to join the baby room because he was acting like a baby’. Now, I’m not a child development specialist, but I do work in psychiatry and I am a mother of 3, and I am CERTAIN that humiliation is not an appropriate method of discipline.
3) Lack of communication. There was this app you could use to follow your kids throughout the day. However, it was only updated 1 day a week by the staff. I never knew if they were eating their lunch or if they would be starving beasts when I picked them up. I also didn’t know if they were sleeping of if we would need an early bedtime. It wasn’t until I notified them of my withdrawal that they told me they would be willing to improve our communication.
4) Lack of educated & trained staff. Not to knock the people working there but some seem to have no form of early childhood background. Some are still in high school, or look like it anyway. this presents a problem when you consider my #2 point above.
5) «healthy lunches» came from a can and stopped being healthy. I’m not even sure what «beenie weenies» are, but they are not something I would feed my child & call healthy.
6) disparity in pricing. When we started, we were quoted one discount but when the center director left and a new one came in, that discount changed. No warning, as we had already paid up.
In short, check around before you choose this place.

This daycare in not corporate owned. It is privately owned and operated. This was our 3^rd daycare center and choose it because we loved our former child time, so we thought it would follow the same standards since it the same corporation.
Let me say it is not the same.
We only lasted here a short time.

My kids are out of here for sure.
After a few weeks witnessing misguided and untrained teachers, poor management and fair food menu, we have decided with confidence that withdrawing was needed and best for our family.
There are many other choices in the area, no wonder why this center is the one with the lowest enrollments in the region in despite of being so cheap.
Parents of kids with allergies, be very cautious. Breakfast food is brought daily and freely by other parents and contamination is a potential risk as teachers do not monitor the food closely.
The director and owner (N and P) do not seem to know how to run the business other than treating it as a profit center rather than a place for kids to grow with good curriculum. The only worry for the center is to keep it staffed so the money can come … bad priority choice.
On snowy days, the center will open, but with delayed opening times which sometimes are posted in the day before. Other centers within less than 2 miles away, open on-​time and have such limitations.
Finally, they get one star thanks to Ms. Anette and Ms. Valerie. Both are sweet and seem to know what they are doing and being an exception here.
Update! Ms. Valerie got fired and the owner has now a new business… One of those massage places … Eye rolling.
