Forever Young Childcare Academy

Do not put your child in this facility!!! They do NOT watch the children in the toddler room. My barely one year old child was injured here twice in a two week span due to NEGLECT OF STAFF. She can hardly walk and they let her walk on the concrete, where she of course fell and busted her chin. I previously asked the director NOT to have my child outside on the concrete as the play space at the facility is not age appropriate for a 1 year old, and not a week later she is injured again due to being left to walk by herself on concrete. The front room with the older kids seems to be run well & the teachers are friendly, but the toddler room is a different story. It’s a bunch of teenagers who clearly do not give a damn about children, they were not even shy being short tempered toward the kids with me in the room. I asked several times for them to stop sending my child home absolutely FILTHY!!! I sent extra clothes daily and a large plastic bib to use. They never changed her clothes, sent her home wet and covered in food, clearly did not utilize the bib I provided. I do not understand how you work in childcare and clearly do not like kids!! Or how these girls still have jobs to speak of!! I came in several times before pick up time to find the caregivers planted on the floor, completely checked out and not paying attention to the kids. They snap at the babies and clearly do not feed them, just place food in front of them and expect them to feed themselves. Completely ridiculous horrible experience.

I left a review awhile ago but since it is no longer visible for some reason😒 I have to leave this for other parents. My daughter attended here and this was the first time any of my kids had attended daycare but post covid once things opened up it was time to get back in the workforce so my Covid baby had to attend daycare. I was so happy to have found someplace quickly and I had gotten rave reviews from a few people at our church who had kiddos who had attended. As a plus it was conveniently located close to our home at the time. At first things were fine but I got less and less feedback about things going on here. First was my daughter being in some other kids diapers when I'd pick up despite them having almost a full box of my daughters diapers. I told them to please use our diapers since my kiddo has eczema and would have a flare up using a lot of other brands. Then she started crying at drop off after having no tears after the initial transition when we started. So that was another red flag for me that something was going on. There were several staff changes which is not unusual in daycare but she started coming home with these bruises all over her legs like little fingertip kind of bruises like someone restraining her but the staff said oh we have a kiddo who likes to pinch?!?. Then one night after I picked her up she had gotten messy before normal bath time and while I was washing her hair she had a HUGE knot on her head. We had literally went from daycare to our house she had a cupcake and then I took her up to give her a bath to get the frosting out. I felt like I was going to be sick. How did she have this huge knot on HER HEAD and nobody mentioned a thing to me. Then they tried saying she hit her head on her cot at nap time. Bullshit. The final straw was a few days later when I picked her up and she had a dirty diaper at pick up so I took her home to change her. She had a whole hand print sized bruise across her stomach like someone had held her down or something. I brought my concerns to Jill and asked who had been in contact with my daughter and said that I wanted to meet to discuss this and Jill blew me off. She insisted her staff had not done this even though I have pictures of her from that same morning with NO bruising and then the afternoon with a clear handprint bruise pattern. I would not send my child to this facility nor could I recommend this facility and I do not believe they have the best interest of the children in mind. My daughter would often come home with a dirty diaper and the worst rashes from sitting in dirty diapers. I honestly don't know how this woman can sleep at night. Please do your own research and if you notice something that isn't sitting right with you trust your gut.

Beyond GRATEFUL to have found Forever young daycare!!! I had no luck finding someone who could handle my very active 3 year old. I struck out 3 times within 1-2 months of regular babysitters. He now has been enrolled for 7 months and they Have taught him to take his active behavior and apply that educationally, with arts and crafts but also learning how to interact and share properly. I absolutely applaud the staff for their attentive observation towards all children and their best well-being. Jill the director is extremely helpful at all times. She also is always aware of the children and what is going on. Which is a huge relief knowing that My child is in safe hands while I'm at work.

As an attorney, I highly value consistency and reliability. I have both of those things here. I have went to the Goddard School and other places in Canton and this place has really been so considerate and helpful during the formative years of my daughters. Childcare is hard, and these people deserve medals - I have never seen anything but happy faces and kids that love Jill and the team. Honestly, these people come over for my kids birthdays. They're solid.

If I could give 100 stars I would. I was lucky enough not to have to put my first child in to daycare until he was almost 4 . But when I did it was a "big chain" daycare. It was the worst experience. From the moment we walked in to Miss Jill's facility he said mom I like this place! So we made the change and I have never once regreted making that change. He loved it from day one, and every day was so excited to go. Its warm and inviting. When I had my second child I never hesitated taking my baby there. The girls in the baby room are amazing, everyone in that building is amazing. Daily projects, learning, open door policy that if I have any questions. Miss Jill is always there to talk or even text to see how the kids are feeling if they were off sick. Thank you to everyone there taking the best care of my kids while I'm at work!
