Author: Eric Strabel Rating: 1/5 Date: 1/11/2023, 8:50:26 PM Review: At first glance, I thought Daycare ZunZun would be a great place for my infant to be. However, on day 2 of having my child attending, I picked him up and was surprised to see that he had three places on his face where it looked like he had rubbed his skin raw. Two of the spots on his forehead were knots and it was obvious that he had bumped his head. When I asked the child care workers what had happened, they seemed to not be entirely sure of what happened but assumed that it was due to to an "allergic" reaction from his playpen sheets. Of course this is very concerning to a parent, so I took him to his pediatrician the next day. His pediatrician confirmed that the spots on his forehead were not due to an allergic reaction, but were "abrasions" due to physical friction. So, while sleeping, my 7 month old son bumped his head and rubbed his skin raw in 3 places. I immediately unenrolled my son from this daycare.

Is this an in-home day care?

Yes

Reviews refer to Zunzun Academy as a "family home daycare" and a "family owned business", suggesting it is an in-home facility.

Mi hijo estuvo por dos años y le ayudaron con su proceso del lenguaje ya que se le dificultaba, y también con su transición dejando el pañal así que me pareció una muy buena guardería.

Best daycare hands down in riverview. My daughter started going there when she was very little, went there for 2 years. I do not think any other place would ever be able to take care of her as good as them. I felt sad when it was her last day but she is older now, we have to move on. I think she loves Mardelis(her teacher) as much as she loves us.

The owner doesn’t always respond kindly. She can be a bit rude, just look at how she responds to some of the reviews. RUDE. My child was at the daycare and I removed her because they were not adequately staffed. Because my child refused to eat the lunch offered. She was punished and denied a few extra cookies at snack time. Mind you the afternoon snack was about 4 ritz crackers. If a kid ask for a few more cheap crackers….just give it to them. They feed the children the same thing everyday. Seems like because it’s a family owned business they are cheap when it comes to meals for these children. Looks like lunch everyday was white rice with baby food mixed into it rather than being thoughtful about the meal plan. The morning snack would be a few crackers with milk. I have seen them even give pop tarts for the morning snack. She will probably answer rudely for this review also.

Stopped by in the late afternoon to obtain information and kids were wailing inside. Also couldn’t give clear information to any of my questions due to thick language barrier. They didn’t seem friendly.

I think the owner for the business has a good heart and she means well for the kids. My child only stayed for a short period of time. However , there were missed communication due to language barrier and wanting to do things her way. In business we should learn to take constructive criticism and be open to listen. We should listen to understand and not just to reply. It did not worked out for my son and I. I’m not under a fake name I’m leaving a review from my gmail account. Yes, my son only stayed for 2 weeks at this daycare. His name starts with a B. I do not say disparaging things to others. I speak truth 🙏🙏

Couldn't recommend this daycare enough. My child loves the place, the staff, the activities, and everything. Kids are always clean at pickup. If any event happens during the day, they give a detailed explanation of how they address the matter. I love that you get pictures during the day of what they are doing, and as a working mom is great being able to know what book they are reading or if they went outside to play. The staff is super friendly, honest, and understanding. They are also bilingual which adds MULTIPLE POINTS.
