Kid City USA - Deland 2

"Bring Kandi back! She was an awesome director and made a personal connection with kids and parents. She did so great at events and made sure parents knew everything that was coming up. Since she’s been gone i’ve missed one event completely and had to ask about another with not very good answers. Bring Kandi back!"

"There are an amazing group of women working in this center."

"I trust them with 3 of my kiddos . They are amazing !!"

"My son has been going there since he was infant,he’s now 3. They are great people and treat the kids great. Yes of course every once a blue moon there’s a small accident. But they are kids it happens. Highly recommended."

"I will absolutely never allow my children to go to this run down establishment again. My two year old was bitten three to four times by another child (the bites left very visible bruises) I never received any phone call of this incident (but the director made sure to call me the day it happened to confirm when my children started so he could get his money correct) and was only notified upon picking my children up, which a teacher whispered to the director in front of me "are you going to tell him" and he responded with "nope that's all on you" as if it was some type of who's who game. My last straw was with my four year old. Since he has started my son had been coming home much more moody and withdrawn then usual, he kept saying he didn't like the school and would go into full blown panic at the mention of going (my son never did this at his previous school). I was concerned especially when he would mention "the mean teacher with the monster teeth" (i now know this is the wife of the director) but anytime I'd try to get him to elaborate he'd shut down and would refuse to talk about it, this was concerning considering how outspoken and honest my son is even for a four year old; stupidly I let it slide until he started not even wanting to talk about his day with me. He became deathly afraid of this school and he finally opened up to his stepmom today to let them know that this teacher with the monster teeth had yelled at him and told him to shut up because he was crying. My son has been unruly before I never pretend that he's an angel but I have never felt the need to tell a FOUR YEAR OLD to shut up. He was extremely upset upon telling his stepmom this and became immediately scared begging not to go back to this school and refused to further say anything else that was going on. My children's mother went to the school to speak to the director who passed it off as issues within our own home making him afraid of school and told his mother "just send them back here tomorrow I'll have a talk with the teachers". Well we won't be sending them back and I'm very thankful that my boys' mothers were the ones to be present at the school instead of me today. I blame myself for not taking my son's concern with the mean teacher more seriously though I shouldn't be surprised after finding the review on the better business bureau site about the children that were locked in the bathroom for hours as punishment. I hope other's see this review and take it very seriously because this place is a dump."
