Alice's Friendly Day Care

"Worst daycare ever! My son went there for 4months, he cried everyday, all way to go there. He begged me in tears to do not left him there, but they used to say "it is the adaptation phase, it's normal", but in my heart I knew something were wrong. Then I start to say for him to tell me what's was going in there, why he doesn't like the school..he start to tell me that his teacher forced him to seat in the chair and he showed me how she did, he said they scream with kids, they were bad people mommy..they made me eat same soup everyday! It's so sad to imagine what my son went through! Parents can't go inside, can't ask about they child for teachers, can't do nothing! There isn't a relationship between school and parents. The place is dark, with a lot of doors, a lot of rooms,like a maze! Look like they have a secrets doors in the walls. I only left my child there , because I was looking for a daycare and only them have place whole year,now I know why!! You can't imagine how your child is being treated after you turn your back, but if I can give any advice for you is : don't trust you child's life to them!"

"Worst school ever, My daughter was at this school for over a year. During this period she developed several types of fear that she hasn't had before, such as fear of the dark and afraid to go to the bathroom alone. She always complained that the teacher yelled at her. She always ate the same food: "soup" and "hot dog". She was Pale and had diarrhea weekly. She was constantly losing weight. When we enrolled our older child in summer school he also had the same experience, which made us take both out of this sad environment. Month later from our decision my daughter is currently in another school. She has changed completely for good, she is gaining weigh and showing improvements with her fears. She constantly says that she never want to go back. Alice's Day Care is not friendly at all. Is not open to dialogue and do not allow access to parents. If you want to walk through the building you will have to Schedule at least with one week ahead of time. There is no communication between family and school. The environment is dark, lights out when it should be on for children. Heavy atmosphere. Here is an alert to all parents and guardians before opting for this school. Please share with friends and families."

"If your looking for a clean family style home experience for your child, this is a great place. It is a Portuguese family who runs it and provides home made food and a caring loving environment. The children love the feeling of a family and the small classes allow teachers to work with each child. It is the cleanest place I have ever seen in any childcare center. Great place to send your child."

"My son went there for two years and he loved all his teachers. They were caring, loving, and very attentive to all his needs. They are very clean, have home-made food, and speak Portuguese which made my child feel a part of a family."

"This is the worst experience I ever had with my grandson! Every time my daughter left my grandson there, he would desperately grab her by her hair or clothes crying. She left to work crying every day too. She would not understand why the kid, who was so sociable and loved being around other kids, would not stay... Well, one of Alice's Day Care "ex-workers", who left the place because she was getting underpaid, she said that they receive more children than what they are permitted by law. Because they cannot control so many kids, she puts them in a very small dark room, sitting on the floor, on top of each other watching TV. My grandson was afraid of the dark, and for him, in his little mind, when my daughter left him, it was a "punishment" because he knew he would be in the dark for hours. One day, inspection went there, and as the officers entered through the door, her son David was pulling the kids out from the back window through a ladder and putting them on the floor in the back. Please, if you love your children, do not bring them to Alice's Day Care Center... This woman only thinks about money... She was just a regular worker and she is now a millionaire. Watch out. My grandson is now over 10 years old and he is still afraid of dark places. He remembers what he went through. Sorry, but I had to post this!"
