My fiancée still hasn’t gotten paid. These guys are the worst of the worst. Now we’re taking legal action and suing them
Ryan CarpenterJul 19, 2023I was concerned that my (mildly) special needs child was being ignored by their “teachers” while at daycare. This was confirmed when I picked my child up and was having a health issue, child was struggling to breathe, which was not addressed by staff. This is neglect. I pulled my child from this center immediately. I wrote to the admins stating my concerns and to notify them that my child will not return, and they didn’t bother to respond. The name “care a lot” is totally hypocritical. They did not care about my child or their well-being or whether my child was there or not or if my child may have required medical attention. I would not recommend for any child.
Nicole SFeb 21, 2023My child was harmed at this daycare center several years ago. Owner Pat Depan refused to refund daycare fees after we pulled our child. They will not admit wrongdoing or show empathy and at the time of this incident did not have cameras.
Kristy LavalleDec 7, 2022Both of our sons love their friends, teachers, and all the staff! They take great care of the children and provide many activities for them to play and learn from!
Angie ThomasAug 24, 2022Our son has been going here for a few years now, Ms Sara is absolutely wonderful and very accommodating!! The staff have alway been friendly and courteous, my son seems to really enjoy going.
Christina WernerJul 13, 2021My son goes here, and he really loves seeing his friends and teachers! They encourage a very nurturing relationship with these kiddos! Thank you!
