Orange Park Preschool

"My 4 month old just started but from the initial visit to now we have been very pleased; the school is so clean & bright and open. The teachers have been great keeping me informed & sending pictures and updates through out the day. They knew I was nervous putting such a little guy in and they've been very understanding. I love getting a report every day when he's picked up with information like how long he slept and when he ate and was changed. It's really helpful with his age so we can figure out a good schedule for him. I'm also very impressed with the rates for this area. Very fairly priced."

"My nephew (4 years old) had been going here a long time and everything was okay until a couple days ago when my mother (his grandma) took him to eat after picking him up approximately around 4-5 pm. They were having a casual conversation about Santa because he came into the restaurant for some kind of fundraiser, well my mom was talking to him and said you better be good because he’s always watching and you want to get presents, (how grown ups usually do around this time) and he proceeded to say that his teachers will not be receiving presents this year. My mom asked him why and he said because they’re mean and Mrs. Colleen spanks him. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IT OKAY TO HIT A CHILD IN CHILD CARE. Also not to mention they have a worker that is still there for sitting on my cousin when she was 4 years old because she did not want to take a nap (which was Mrs. Erin) AND WAS CAUGHT BY A WORKER THAT WAS MY 4 YEAR OLD COUSINS BIGGER SISTER. When my Nephews mom addressed the situation Tammy proceeded to call my nephew a liar and said that if it continues to happen he will be taken out of the system, instead of being professional and saying I’m sorry and we will get to the bottom of this, which goes to show who is really lying in the situation. And then when my mother came in today to address him being called a liar all they had to say was “yep, yep, yep he’s a liar” and Mrs Tammy’s husband said he was going to send the police to our house and make false accusations against my mother. There have been numerous times where I walk in to get my nephew and I hear adults yelling belligerently at these little children. Be aware and cautious of where you are sending your kids!"

"Where's my perfect daycare but this one is pretty darn good. My favorite part they have cameras. All 5 of my children have attended 4 of them started in the infant room."

"This was a good daycare in my opinion until very recently. For the past year I have been taking my son here and it was ok. Well last week I witness the owners son yelling at my 2 yr old son for throwing his sippy cup on the floor. Then sliding my son out of the doorway when my son fell out, instead of picking him up. There was 2 other adults around a teacher in his class and the owners husband, neither one intervened. After I picked my son up off the floor and dusted his clothes I went to notify the owners Tammy. She only said she would speak with her son and it would not happen again. Well I’m sure it won’t cause he will never come back. When I went to gather my sons belonging yesterday what do I see, the owners son in the kitchen again. This tells me they did not think what their adult son did to my 2 yr old was a problem. I also watched the video of the whole Incident and he actually kept checking to see if I was gone before he started yelling at my son. The crazy part is that I never left instead I signed my son in at went back this is how I saw him from beginning to end. I never got an apology from the son just his parents. So I say you guys better beware of how your kids are treated when u are not around! Pop up and double back before you actually leave."

"This place is awesome! The facility is always clean, at the end of the day you can see several caregivers thoroughly cleaning each environment. My daughter has a dairy allergy, and we preview the weeks menu and they are able accommodate her dietary needs. My husband and I transitioned to this daycare through the recommendation of a friend and we couldnt be more thankful! Tammy, the owner, and her husband are very pleasant and professional. Wondeful place!"
