Creative Learning Kids CDC

Reposting this since my review got taken down. I would give this place zero stars if I could. We originally chose this daycare because of its location to our house and its good reviews and A+ ABC Quality Rating. Back in August 2023, my two boys (4 and 22 months) attended this daycare for less than a month. They were miserable and my toddler would always come home so lethargic and cranky. At first we attributed this to him adjusting to going to daycare for the first time, but I had a gut feeling that something wasn’t right. When I brought their blankets home to wash them, they had this overpowering scent on them. I asked my 4 year old if they did something to their blankies and he said that they spray something on it. When Ms. Felicia, the director, was confronted about this, she openly admitted to us that she uses Dr. Teal’s sleep spray to help them nap, and even showed my husband the bottle (which was labeled ages 3+). We immediately reported them to OHAN who came the next day to interview her. Ms. Felicia was initially deceptive to the investigator but eventually admitted to using the melatonin spray without parental consent. It took two weeks for my son (who was not even two at the time) to return to his normal self! Not only that, but they served poor quality food. Majority of the staff seemed like they did not want to be there and should not be working with children. My other son was in the first steps 4K program but did not learn anything. He said all they did was play all day. Their 4K teacher quit right before the school year so Ms. Felicia and Ms. Rhonda were “helping out” until they hired a replacement. This place is a joke and I can’t believe they are still open and that Ms. Felicia is still in charge. We were lucky enough to find another daycare to take them in with short notice and they are learning so much and thriving. Please do not send your children to this poor excuse for a daycare if you care about their safety and well being.
