I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel other parents should know about my experience. One of my biggest concerns was the lack of supervision. On numerous occasions, I observed teachers using their cell phones instead of actively watching or engaging with the children. This was especially concerning in the younger classrooms, where toddlers were eating while teachers were focused on their phones rather than supervising children who could easily choke. The overall atmosphere also felt overly strict in ways that didn’t seem developmentally appropriate. Children were expected to remain completely silent during meals, and they were required to walk with their hands behind their backs with a “bubble in their mouth.” While structure and classroom management are important, this approach felt excessive for young children. The facility itself often appeared cluttered, disorganized, and not particularly clean. There was frequently a noticeable odor that made it seem as though the center was not being maintained to the standard I would expect for a childcare facility. Perhaps most concerning, there were multiple occasions when I picked up my son and found staff members either scrolling on their phones or lying on the classroom couch instead of actively supervising or interacting with the children. Seeing caregivers disengaged during the day did not inspire confidence that the children were receiving the attention and care they deserved. I understand that the center has recently experienced turnover among several teachers and even the director. I genuinely hoped those changes would lead to improvements. Unfortunately, from what I have continued to observe, many of the same issues remain. Staff members are still frequently on their phones instead of engaging with the children, and the classrooms continue to feel cluttered and disorganized. Every parent has different expectations, but mine are simple: children should be actively supervised, caregivers should be engaged, and the environment should be clean, organized, and welcoming. Based on my experience, I did not consistently see those standards being met, and for that reason, I cannot recommend this daycare.
