THIS PLACE IS JUST AS BAD AS SCHOOL 2, THE NURSE HERE CLAIMS SHE DOES NOT GIVE CHILDREN MEDICINE EVEN IF THEY HAD A SEIZURE OR ASTHMA ATTACK SHE'S LEGALLY NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE MEDICINE TO SAVE A CHILDS LIFE 😂 I'VE NEVER HEARD SUCH BULLSHYT IN MY LIFE WHAT KIND OF EDUCATION DID YOU GET 😂 SO A CHILD IS HURT AND YOU LET THEM SUFFER OR DIE WOW, JUST LIKE SCHOOL 2 ABUSING CHILDREN AND COVERING IT UP..... AND IF UNITY ISN'T A TROY SCHOOL WHY'S IT IN TROY MAKES NO SENSE HOW IT'S NOT BUT YET IT'S IN TROY 😂
JusticeJan 29, 2026Currently violently throwing up everything in my body because the hire ups do not care about the health and safety of the kids and staff. They knowingly did not let multiple sick staff members go home thursday and friday. Not to mention they have had CPS called on them countless times. I would NEVER bring my kids here.
FoodLover777Apr 7, 2024My son has been going to A Child’s place since last year, the growth I have witnessed has been short of amazing and the teachers and staff have been very supportive and encouraging to me and my family. We need more places like these to help raise a child it takes a village and this place gets my sons needs and has been working with him tremendously there is no amount of money that can pay these people enough for what they do the amount of effort and work that gets put into these children is phenomenal and I would recommend anyone with a child who has a disability to come here and not worry because your child is in good hands!
Carmen SerranoJan 29, 2024Our son attends the this program and we could NOT be happier with the service that is provided. The teachers are attentive to his needs and keep us informed. Administration is highly responsive to any questions that may come up. They all know my son by name and greet him whenever they see us. Their pick up/drop off procedures are smooth and easy. They are currently following a very strict COVID protocol which we truly appreciate. We would highly recommend this program to anyone looking.
Paul LosavioApr 15, 2021I do not recommend this daycare for Toddlers. Many teachers are not patient and they yell at them. One of the teacher aides tied a child to a chair. If the children fall asleep before lunch, they are not saved food, nor are they awakened to eat, leaving them hungry. Many teachers have a bad attitude. And all these irregularities are allowed by the Director of that place and the excuse she uses is that “the children are not prepared for that daycare” There are also many racist people in that place.
Maggie IzySep 11, 2019This is a wonderful daycare/pre-k. My great granddaughter has been going there for 2 years and she loves it! She is very disappointed when the weekend comes and she doesn't have to go to school😊.
