Why is it so hard to find Great Child Care?! The Director Ms. Maria is extremely rude. First of all, there’s no cameras. But due to moms and I circumstances we were running out of options. But that was the least of it. For the whole first week teachers wouldn’t even acknowledge me and my child in the mornings when dropping off and in the afternoon for pick up. Attending to kids one thing, but sitting there chatting with another staff member completely ignoring the child and their parent is another. I feel like no parent should feel neglected when dropping off their child for the day. Especially a new parent and student. Than, there was the time where my daughter was complaining and crying so much that I’m trying to comfort her for about 10 minutes. With again, staff not helping me to get her settled in. So me being the father I am I go and bring back snacks for her and her classmates. Soon as I got back into my vehicle, didn’t even turn the car on, the director Ms. Maria messages me telling me I have to do better at drop offs. That I’m not wanting to let her go when I’m reality, I myself am trying to get to work. That was another problem she had obviously. Next, was having my daughter come home telling me her classmate is being mean to her and is always hitting her. I addressed one teacher one day than the next teacher the next day. Than finally told her main teacher, since the same little girl one morning, was looking over at my daughter with a mean look while my daughter’s telling me this girl is mean to her. But again by the time I’m getting in my car the director Ms. Maria is texting me. Not calling me, texting me. All because now she wants our concern documented. But to tell me not to address any matters in the classroom, because it made the “ other child “ uncomfortable, since she “knew” I was talking about her. Extremely aggressive and with no intentions to listen to my side of the story, but to go off of what “her staff” told her and address me via text as if I was being mean to a toddler. But I finally had enough with this one. Again my daughter is only 3 but is smart. So as usual I ask her how was her day. Her exact words to me were, “ Daddy Ms kimmie put me in TimeOut. Than she did like this.” She opened her arms out wide than put her forehead on the floor! I’m like what? Now why would a 3 year old make up such a scenario? So as usual, I reach out to the director Ms. Maria and she immediately got offended, and without asking staff, which I know because her response came back within a minute, saying that they don’t do that. So wait, calling my 3 year old a liar? Than went on to tell me yet again how we “chose” their daycare to take care of my child. To than call me toxic and give mom and I an ultimatum to either only have mom communicate, also pick up and drop off my daughter ( since I’m the one bringing these matters to her attention making her feel “uncomfortable” and “toxic” ) Or to remove my daughter from her daycare immediately. Extremely unprofessional. Extremely rude. Extremely one sided. And it’s beyond me how people/ who are also parents can act in such a way with parents who leave their children with them for most of the day. I pray to see a better day where parents don’t have to stress while at work not knowing what’s going on with their children. Or that there can be some type of respect when parents have questions and concerns, instead of being brushed off and insulted. I’d added some screenshots so you guys can see for yourselves how this director Ms. Maria talks to her students parents. Mind you my daughter just turned 3! So of course I will have to play my part and follow up after something like that being brought to my attention. Im just a concerned parent trying to warn the next parent before they have to learn the hard way like we did. Stay Blessed & Stay Genuine! Life is Precious!!
