I took a tour here and i would not recommend it. The rooms are dark and dirty and the staff was extremely unfriendly. They wouldn’t smile and weren’t interacting with the babies. The Director was very unprofessional and made inappropriate comments about my child. Reading other people’s reviews and the directors response makes me so glad we didn’t go with them. So unprofessional with her response. Is it really necessary to attach every reviewer? Says a lot about a person and how they may interact with the children and parents.

Do you think that its appropriate to take kids that you watch during the day on camping trips with the owner? I dont. Deb, you have no business in watching children. You were almost shut down because almost all of your workers QUIT on you, you didnt fire them. The state gave this place 2 weeks to get their act together, and somehow they managed to stay open. Is that really a daycare you want your child attending. Nope.

If you would like your kid to receive special treatment, you better hope that the teachers like your child. They play favorites real hard at this place. Some kids get a special place inside of the owners office, and are not asked to clean up with the rest of the kids. They also treat the parents of these kids like they help run the place too. But if you like the owner talking about your kid to other parents, then By all means, send your kid here. The turnover there is terrible!

We love coming to TLC!! This is our 2nd time around & we couldnt imagine the kiddos in the care of anyone else! Fun, engaging, caring. They love coming each morning & hate leaving @ night.

I was a previous employee at this center for a short time and my 2 year old daughter also attended this center while I worked there. I did meet a few other teachers here that were amazing but unfortunately almost all have left because of how unprofessional the owner is. I have heard her and other staff talk about parents when they leave (in a negative way), I have seen them place a child in the lunch table and walk away leaving that child there for at least an hour (and this was after the owner yelled in his face that she was “done with him”), I have heard a boy ask his mom and another teacher why ms. Deb doesn’t like him, I have watched the owner talk about the way another employee cleans to every other employee besides the one that she should have spoken to about it (not the way a boss should do things), the amount of infants in the room is always overcrowded with no room to even move, and then there are the personal things I noticed with my own child!!!! My child had a tough transition because she did not understand why she couldn’t come see me throughout the day. If my daughter did somehow get into my room and I held her Deb would give us dirty looks and at one time even said to me “I don’t like this”, referencing me holding my child!!!!! She wasn’t allowed to have her blankie in the mornings to help her transition and after I told them that she had a milk protein allergy they still continued to give her milk and lactaid (which still contains milk protein). I was never told that I had to fill out any kind of form for this and I was never informed until about a week before I quit that they have to offer milk. My child suffered severe digestive issues because of this!!! My daughter would cry every time she heard debs voice, but yet the assistant director was allowed to work in her child’s classroom, come visit her infant son, and her 2 year old used to follow her around constantly, talk about clickey!!! I was informed one day by a coworker that my name had been taken off the schedule and a different girl was asked to work my shift but I was never informed of this, I asked the assistant director why and was told I wasn’t needed so my response was well then I won’t be back and she informed me that my daughters belongings were all packed in bags and left by the door. It was so unprofessional and completely disgusting!! I can’t imagine that there is a daycare in the area that is worse than this one!!!!! And I’m sure the owner is going to have something to say, reading some of her responses should really show just how unprofessional she is!! Please find somewhere else for your children, somewhere that truly loves working with kids and has a stable mental health!!!And I’m also going to add that you are a complete liar! In a previous response you state that all employees are finger printed, etc. Well I was never finger printed or drug tested!! None of the people hired while I was there were.

They claimed that they had training to deal with special needs children, but did not.
