PUNKIN PATCH CHILDCARE

My child has been here since October. He absolutely loves every single person there. They communicate, they love your kids. They’re literally the best. I am so grateful for them and they aren’t super outrageous in price. I think they are priced well and my son loves it. He’s thriving and knows so many more words now too. He’s going to be 2 in March, and was already smart but he can count to 5 and say his colors and almost speak sentences.

Mary and Sierra are both amazing! I feel so comfortable dropping my kid off everyday knowing one of them is there. They both treat my child as one of their own. They are nurturing, loving, kind-hearted, dedicated teachers that work so hard to prepare these kids to thrive!!! I will be so sad when my kid leaves! Mary and Sierra, thank you! You both are my reason for keeping my child here! My family loves you both!

We have truly been impressed by the changes at the center. My child’s mother brings our child here, and we’ve both noticed the difference. Mr. JJ is excellent with communication and always attentive to any matter that comes up. His dedication makes us wish he’d never have to leave and go back to Chicago!

i went here for a couple of years back in the early 2010s, (im now 18) and it was terrible. the staff dislocated my elbow, and would frequently curse and yell at me and the other children.

The staff is incredibly rude and picks and chooses the children they want to favor. The ghetto one will be one of the first you meet. She comes in the morning with her 2 kids and does nothing but scream at them. If she treats her own kids that way, I can only imagine how she treats others. My son has been sent home for prolonged crying and a “fever” (checked immediately after my 3min ride home with TWO thermometers and BOTH read normal) multiple times but what they really meant was he was crying too much for their liking. He would come home with bite marks and scratches with dried blood several times, which according to their policy meant the child inflicting the wound must go home and both parents are given accident reports. My son was sent home for “inflicting” wounds however I never received ANY reports for his own and I have pictures for proof. They aren’t honest and would lie about when he was changed or what he ate. My child is picky and wouldn’t dare touch half the stuff they say he does, especially not 100%. And they have a wonderful app that tells you when they get changed or eat and quite a few times I got notifications before mealtimes saying he ate most of whatever or 12:00 and he ate all of his AFTERNOON snack. Most recently, they kicked my child out because he was out of the daycare for an illness. He was feeling better so we sent him back with doctor permission. His test results came back days later with an infection but since it was already cured, I felt no need to discuss. Tori was rude and unprofessional during the whole scenario. Plus my daughter got kicked out as well when it had nothing to do with her. How traumatizing for my soon to be 5yo to be woken from her nap, her things thrown into a TRASH BAG and made to leave. She didn’t understand why she had to leave and wasn’t able to say goodbye to anyone that she was attached to!! So sad for my children to have to leave their friends and the GOOD teachers but after the way we were treated it is DEFINITELY a blessing!!!
