tutor-time

I took my daughter to this day care last year because it was brand new and looked really nice. They advertise and promotes themselves on acitivites and learning for the children and make you think their day is going to be filled with fun, learning and growth. Center is very expensive but I thought it would be worth it if they really did all these things. My daughter went there when she was 18 months and went there for 5 months. The whole time she was there she never came home with a craft or worksheet of any kind. ONE time she brought a piece of paper that she colored with a crayons but that's it. The center looked really nice and they had nice toys but that's all they did was play. I dropped of my daughter at many different times ranging from 630-1000 in the morning and she was picked up between 130 and 530 in the afternoon and all the times no matter what time i came they were never doing any activities with my child. I never saw them singing or playing with the kids on the floor or anything. They did do water play occassionally outside and they did play outside daily but that's it. I also had issues with them following cleaning procedures. I seen on many occassions them changing diapers without gloves on and without washing their hands between changing different kids. They did not clean the changing table between kids either. One time I even saw the teacher go from changing a diaper to wiping a bloody nose to serving food without washing her hands! I even talked to the director about this issue. She agreed this needed attention and said she would correct the situation but I still saw things like this happening afterwards. I eventually just took my daughter out. My daughter always had extra clothes with her name on them in case she needed them but they could never seem to get her things for her. She came home with clothes on that were not hers and marked with other children's names. I would not recommend this center for your children.

PROS: Nice new looking center
CONS: Did not do activities, very expensive, not clean
