Author: Kayla Redd Rating: 1/5 Date: 12/17/2023, 3:20:23 PM Review: I wouldn’t recommend this school to anyone. Everything about them is a lie & one of the biggest red flags is them having their own employees leave reviews so ofcourse they’re forced to leave positive reviews duh. They need to clean the daycare it’s so easy for the kids to get sick because of how much they lack with cleaning the daycare and how hot it is. The first day I picked my son up his diaper was soaked I could tell he had the same diaper on all day not only that my son had so much snot coming down his nose I could tell they just allowed it to sit for a while instead of wiping his nose the moment they noticed it was running. I mentioned my concern to Gina and of-course she blew it off and made an excuse for her employees as if I don’t live my child to know that his nose doesn’t run that much it was obvious it hadn’t been wiped. My biggest concern of it all was how they allow older kids around the babies, my son hadn’t even started walked yet and was being sat & stepped on by older kids because they weren’t keeping them separated. The owner also has an older grandchild who they allow the privilege to roam around free including around babies. If you’re thinking about enrolling your child be cautious and understand they may be neglected & unsupervised at times. FYI Kelly is too slow to be left alone with the infants by herself so if you are enrolling your infant pay attention to your child when you pick them up and drop them off. I don’t have to lie I wish I could say otherwise but it really sucks how much these daycares don’t care about the kids when you’re putting your trust into them hoping your child is being taken care of:(
Does this day care follow a specific curriculum?
Yes
One review mentions a curriculum designed for children to retain what they learn, implying some sort of special learning curriculum options exist.

This is absolutely the best daycare that i can ever think of they give me ability to make sure that my child is always actively learning with subjects you often don’t think of. They implement a curriculum for children so, that they are always able to retain what they learn! The environment is very welcoming that my daughter often begs for me to take her to school. The staff is very nice and they do their best to make sure that your child is being cared for! I can most certainly say that this daycare will solve your needs!

The owner Ruth and my daughters Teacher Mrs. Gina allong with all the staff are amazing people. They are very involved in my daughters learning routine and are very welcoming and kindhearted. I would definately recommend this place to my family and friends.
Both my grand daughters go to this daycare. It is an amazing and clean place. My grand daughters have learned so much attending this daycare. They treat you like family not just a dollar sign which is so much better then any other daycare. The teachers care and know the kids inside and out. Love this place wouldn't put them anywhere else.
Great school! I noticed tremendous growth with my son after attending this school. Ms. Ruth and her staff did an awesome job communicating with me and husband keeping us in the loop, and helped my son break out of his shell. Now he’s comfortable and confident about learning. He wakes up excited for school every morning, and constantly brings home little projects and assignments throughout the week. Although he’s super excited for kindergarten, he is emotional about leaving his family away from home. If you’re looking for a place for your kids to have fun while learning THIS IS IT!
This place is literally just a place to leave your kid so your can work and they aren't alone, other than that it is not a daycare. The teachers are very very under trained. They don't have childcare back rounds. The teachers are all scared of Ruth so they do what she says. It's just a paycheck for them, they are not compassionate about their job as a caretaker. My son upset sometimes and was hard to calm he was not nurtured at all instead ms gina pulled out her personal cell phone and recorded him and told him he was being bad and had all the students watching. Ruth does not allow counselors or therapist to do visits there. she doesn't want anyone seeing the school. the school smells very badly at all times. They do not watch hands after changes and food exchange I've watched it multiple times with my own eyes. Everyday that I walked up Sadie was screaming at the kids so bad i could hear it from outside. Ruth likes to badger kids as if she is speaking to adults, accusing them of their "bad behavior". she threatens kids and talks to parents as if they don't know anything are beneath her and less educated.. The kids were always crying when I picked them up. They say you can't bring snacks and drinks for kids but I seen her grand baby and Gina's daughter and at least two other children come in eating food and with snacks all day and my son medically needed to bring his own drink and snacks but she said if I couldn't bring enough for every student then they couldn't bring it. She refuses to administer medicine even with D letter which contributed to my s sins melt downs but then would berate him. Ruths grand daughter runs around the daycare all day free to do whatever she wants as well as Gina's daughter. They frosted the front door glass so you can't see inside there is no open door policy they didn't want you to see how they actually treat your children. The two Spanish speaking teachers act very quiet and shy and like they didn't speak English but that's not true I watched them talking badly to the babies pushing them out of their way with their knees specially Sadie! and speaking badly about a mother. they mock the parents to the children. this place is very much trauma for these kids it's not a good place at all. Ruth complains when she has to help and she tells other parents all about other parents business I've Heard many bad stories about other parents and their kids I'm sure others have Heard about my business. it's only about money for her if you tip her and pay cash she will treat your child decent but if you have ELC she treats your and your children badly there is a back yard business she had going on I seen and heard the private conversations and interactions between her and a few male parents the screaming from Sadie and the neglagance of structure and absence of positive reprimanding and positive praise is horrible enough but the screaming from sadie and the fake ness of Ruth and the smell of the school and not allowing speech therapist and letting their kids run around free and ignoring the other children as well as recording on their personal cell phones when having a melt down is horrible and no child should be left with these people me and two of my friends children's have been there too and they are not good people please do not do your child this horrible disservice and leave them in these people's care.its sad to see all the employee reviews were obviously scripted before hand they all reflect literally on how the teachers are kind and don't scream and how they love the kids it's funny because those are the exact things that are the worst at this school. If you don't mind people acting nice in your face but in reality screaming in your babies face when they are hyper and being a kid anything outside of sitting quietly and not making the teachers do anything they scream at the kids and dread having to be there to take care of children
My daughter has been going here for 4 years and she has had a blast learning, playing , and meeting new friends.the teachers are awesome and help the students in anyway they can.we will miss this little gem. Thank you for taking care of the kids.
Creative Kids Has taken great care of my son. The teachers have helped him reach milestones and build his social skills. As a single mother, they have shown grace an understanding When I experienced financial Difficulties. They are always there to give help and resources when needed.
My daughter has been taken care of here for over 5 years now, Mrs. Ruth has been very kind to us not to mention how much my daughter really gets along with Mrs. Gina. This has been my experience.
my daughter attended this daycare and I can say that this is one of the daycares that i actually love! They made me my daughter feel welcome on the first day while she was hiding behind my leg! They’re always making sure that your child is learning and interacting with one another and have the best summer program too
The worst daycare iv EVER IN MY life been to the employees are cool and nice but Ruth? A complete nightmare I tried taking my kids out of her daycare and next thing I know I have dcf at my door because she called them on me telling them lies. I would not suggest this daycare.
