All of the reviews regarding mold are true. The ceilings leaked and have fallen down and were repaired over top of once they dried. There are pictures for proof. The breaker box had also not been inspected since 1972. They pay an insider name Brit from the fire dept to come inspect for one of their inspections and there is message proof for that as well. Do not believe what the owners have to say as this place is not somewhere that children should be expected to be placed for long periods of time. Have also been told of children being smacked and punished for not eating properly. Avoid at all costs.
I would say that the best thing to do is to tour the facility yourself and give it your own opinion. I am a nurse and school teacher and cleanliness is a must. We have never had mold or have been dirty and we have incident reports on file for the state to see at anytime. Like every other center we do make paperwork mistakes at times, but Observing and caring for the children is our number 1 goal!
This facility is filthy and it smells like mold. The workers have too many kids to watch and my grandson has come home twice with a black eye and my granddaughter came home with red welts on her neck at the age of 3 months and they told me she did it herself. All they ever do is say they will write up an incident report. I wouldn't take my pet there to be watched! Terrible place for kids.
I gave stay and play daycare one star because you're not allowed negative ratings. The facility is dirty the workers are stressed and overworked and the kids run wild and come home dirty and scraped and bruised. I wouldn't even send the pet of someone I didn't like here
