Author: Kaimi Howard Rating: 1/5 Date: 2/3/2023, 12:28:29 AM Review: I had two children attend here and it was the worst experience as a parent. When looking at the reviews, 6 appeared on Google all simultaneously praising the daycare. All on the same day. It was very suspect. The first week, there were so many red flags. I went to pick up my children and the director was screaming at 1, 2 and 3 year olds. When I went to pay for my first week, there was a lot of confusion. I was told I’d have a 15% discount because I was enrolling two children, and then it became 10%. Fine, whatever. However, the accountant couldn’t properly calculate how much I was supposed to pay. I had to show him. My oldest son was in so many classrooms that they kept losing his belongings. When I finally pulled them out, they still didn’t give me all of his clothing because they couldn’t find it. I’d shown up to get him and he was in someone else’s clothes. He also came home in someone else’s diaper. I was emailed while at work and was told I needed to come pick them up because they were short staffed. However, not every parent was emailed. Just certain ones. When I went to pick them up, DCF and the police were there. I was told after picking them up, I was told I’d receive an email that night letting parents know if kids could come the next day. I didn’t receive an email until the next morning, on our way out the door just to be told only infants and 1 year olds could attend. I ended up having to miss work and said, screw this, I’m finding them somewhere else to go. My kids started attending January 2 and I pulled them January 25. Worst experience ever. I strongly do not recommend. Edit to add: I had a meeting with the owner 5 days after this review was posted. I received my son’s belongings that were unable to be found at the time of my son’s withdrawal. The owner and I had a discussion about my experience and understood my frustration. While it has been frustrating on their end as well, I still did not feel the facility was best for my family, which the owner did, indeed, understand.

New team has done an amazing job renovating furiture, bathrooms and playground. I'm very glad I've enrolled my son, staff is simply wonderful.
My experience with Miss Adels Learning center was wonderful! My two girls were attending. My girls enjoyed getting up n the morning and attending miss adels. I have had my share of daycares mistreating my girls, but miss adels I fully trusted! We LOVE ms Lizzy! I have ALWAYS felt welcomed to bring my girls inside in the morning. If I left instructions regarding anything they listened & followed. I felt my girls were healthy, safe & LOVED at this daycare!
I unfortunately do not understand how this place is still up and running. Shame on dcf for not having closed them down after high turnover and ownership that owes money to people they never paid. If you care to take the time and go to the myflchildren and families website they do not have perfect inspections, far from it, even allegations of abuse. This center used to be gold seal accredited until it changed ownership. Nor does the very young admin keeper know how to hire quality educators. Please don't be fooled by this place. I was once the assistant director after stepping up after the first round of staff walked out due to not being paid. I pray for the children at this center daily.
My 2 children have been attending this daycare now for almost a month. They are excited to get up and go to "school" everyday and are just as happy and excited when I pick them up in the afternoon. They have tons of stories each day about everything they did and how much fun they had. After reading past reviews I was a little nervous but decided to give it a chance because nothing online in regards to DCF reviews were negative. I'm very pleased with everything so far and excited for the future of Miss Adele's with the new management team. They are wonderful üòä
