Horrible staff!!! They do not communicate with the parents if something happened, and when I asked about certain instances and other things my child experienced I was brushed off and ignored. What really upset me, my son is really really allergic to milk. I told the staff, and it was on all his intake forms, why one week into him attending did he come home with a body full of hives leaving me to take him to the emergency room and they said it was because he had some milk at the daycare. I am so threw with this plce!

I initially contacted this child care facility with the utmost concern for my daughter's safety and well-being while I was out of state. As a parent with full custody, it was crucial for me to ensure that she was in a stable and secure daycare environment. My intention was to inquire about her needs, particularly her dietary requirements, before making any decisions. However, my experience with Mrs. Ruthie, the person I spoke to, was deeply disappointing.
Mrs. Ruthie's demeanor towards me was rude and unpleasant right from the beginning. Instead of addressing my concerns or allowing me to inquire about my daughter's dietary needs, she responded with hateful words and refused to let me speak. It was evident that she had no interest in understanding my situation or assisting me in any way.
When I mentioned that I lived several states away and that my daughter was visiting her father for the summer, Mrs. Ruthie flat-out refused to make any accommodations. She insisted that I prove my identity by physically showing up at the facility. Despite offering alternative methods such as presenting identification, court documentation, and even my daughter's birth certificate, Mrs. Ruthie showed no willingness to cooperate. She explicitly stated that she didn't care whether I was the mother or not and made derogatory remarks that left me feeling disrespected.
As an African American, I understood the underlying implications of her words and the lack of respect she displayed. Feeling deeply hurt and insulted, I chose to end the call at that point.
It's disheartening to encounter such unprofessional behavior when reaching out for assistance and support. As a concerned parent, I strongly advise against entrusting your child's well-being to this daycare facility, as my experience with Mrs. Ruthie was indicative of their overall disregard for parents' needs and lack of professionalism.
It is my hope that this review serves as valuable feedback for the daycare facility, encouraging them to address these issues and improve their approach to customer service and inclusivity.

Notice the center does not deny racial commentary and being completely unprofessional.
