Both of my Grand children attended this daycare from baby to grade school.
This is more than a babysitter type situation. They learned soo many things and were prepared for grade school.

Former employee who left due to several unwelcoming staff members. One who got irritated when I would wash the kids' hands with soap and water because I was just "wasting" time and they don't need it, even though hand, foot, and mouth disease was rampant throughout the whole daycare. I worked with her 2 full days and she barely spoke to me. I was trying to do everything myself and had only been there 5 days. She was mad at everyone I was told because she had been moved out of the room she had been in with 1 year olds and moved to a different room with 2 year olds. Thats no reason to treat a new employee like she doesn't even exist!!!! She wanted to wash the kids up with cold scrubbing rags. I say cold because there is NO hot water coming out of any sink I used. There is a bathroom next to the room I was in for the 3 year olds to use and 2 potty chairs that were in the bathroom had the same urine in them for 6 days because the cleaning gal said it wasn't her job to clean them. A teacher finally dumped and cleaned them out. They smelled awful! I was also told they had 6 people quit in the past year. Gee, I wonder why. Finally, I was hired by a nun and she told me my pay was 8.95 per hour, but when I got my one and only paycheck, I had been paid 8.35 per hour! I can't believe a nun would rip off a single mother trying to feed two kids. These parents pay a pretty penny for their kids to go there and no one I worked with would even wipe a runny nose until they saw me doing it!!!!
