Joyland Child Development Center

Best daycare hands down! They're so kind and patient with my children. And love my kiddos like they're family. I'm so glad I stumbled across Joyland and found the perfect school for my kids.

Considering the former reviews I was skeptical, but so far so good. Staff is friendly. They do a lot of summer activities with the kids for the summer program, which I’ve never experienced at any childcare for my children. Multiple teachers per room. It’s an older building, but clean and welcoming. My toddler is not very good with change so I was super nervous about having to switch her to a new school. To my surprise she goes in everyday with no problems. I think that is a good sign. At her old school, she would cry every single morning. So far the only downside is having to pay the first and last week tuition, plus registration fee at enrollment. This childcare feels “homie” and cozy. I feel like children really matter here.

This school has teachers that are disrespectful to children. The supervisors upholds teachers in the wrong. Children should not be talked down to by an adult at anytime. 10years ago is was a wonderful place to send your children. Now it's a nightmare. Your children are not protected their treated poorly. You should be able to send the to school for an education. Sad to say but but they need to revamp and start over with respectable teachers.

My daughter had a hard time adjusting into a school structure when she first enrolled, but everyone at Joyland made her feel so comfortable and loved it wasn't long she was more than happy to go to daycare. That was over three years ago and now she's about the graduate the Pre-K program and they still show her the same amount of love everyday. Everyone there is so amazing and I know my daughter will miss them dearly next year. They have done amazing at making sure the kids are ahead of curriculum and prepared for each new year.

Ms.Pam was amazing in the 3 year old class. My son attended for 1 month and it was an horrible experience. My sons blanket was taken from him and given to another child for nap time. He waa stung by a bee and i found out 3 days later. When I asked why i wasnt informed of this the lady at the front desk didnt even know it happened and then proceeded to lecture me on checking my child's cubby every day. When i brought up the fact that she called me about him bumping his head she just shrugged her shoulders. The owner implied that i was a bad mother bc my son was there all day. Im a single mom n i work 12 hour shifts 6 days a week. I dont have the luxury of being able to only work 8 hours. There was also an incident of where my son hit another child only after that child hit my son first. Instead of disciplining BOTH children they sat my son in time out and when he wouldn't stop crying THE OWNER GRABBED MY SON OUT OF CLASS AND SAT HIM IN THE OFFICE. NEVER ONCE WAS I CALLED ABOUT THAT EITHER. I believe the 2 in the front office are racist. They pegged my son as the bad little black kid from the jump. They never had a discussion or conference with me but instead would tell me he has behavioral issues. BECAUSE HE HIT A KID AND CRIED WHEN HE WAS PUT IN TIME OUT. That's normal 3 year old actions. Doeasnt make it acceptable but that's what 3 year olds do. Horrible daycare. And im a preschool teacher myself for the past 6 years. Never have i ever had such a horrible experience at a daycare. But hey if ur child is white and perfect this is the daycare for you!
