The Harmony House CDC

"In my personal experience, this is one of the most unprofessional CDC's I've ever known. You must acquire a passion and harbor a special type of love in your heart to be in business with kids. In my opinion, not only are they unprofessional, they are rude and greedy, they have no tolerance and no compassion for your kids. I'll never refer anyone to take their child. In fact, I encourage you to go elsewhere. FACTS! There are more unprofessionalism behavior but God will handle them."

"My son started at Harmony House in July of 2023. I was initially excited about my son starting here due to the fact that the owner/director, Mrs. Banner, appeared nice and presented the facility as "Christian-based and structured similarly to regular school." However, the experience was completely opposite. Mrs. Banner and the man named "Mister" (his demeaner, ego, and aggressive tone/behavior gave me a clear revelation of why he is called by such a stigmatic title)...they are under some type of ridiculous paranoia regarding black people, especially black boys. It's always "today's society with black this/black that..." If your child is accustomed to affection/love, not a robot and, not easily intimidated by "Mister", the owners will criminalize and sexualize everything they can regarding your child. We were told that our toddler would "be a father by 12 years old," "He runs everywhere and he plays aggressively, so get that in order before he becomes a target for cops," "Boys don't put their hands in their pants for comfort. That's not normal. That's taught," "He is mannish and I don't get paid nearly enough to deal with that." I learned more about how many degrees "Mister" has and that he wishes that he would have given me the tour at the daycare, so that my son would have never been enrolled. He is extremely off-putting, ugly-spirited, unreasonably judgmental, cocky, and demeaning. He has Mrs. Banner on a very short leash/under his thumb. At the meeting she dared to speak on presenting the daycare as a Christian facility and he threatened, "I WILL WALK RIGHT OUT OF THAT DOOR IF YOU DEFEND WHAT WE DO HERE!" She quickly closed her mouth the remainder of the meeting. All of his yelling and beating on the desk, during business hours, to prove a pointless, asinine assumption about who my child will grow up to be. In conclusion, neither of them could comprehend that a 3-year-old is a toddler FIRST and toddlers will behave like toddlers, not men/women. No matter the race. They do, however, need capable unbiased professionals who can operate in consistency, compassion, and correction until they get acclimated with the standards being implemented. I'm sure "Mister" will read and respond to this with his cocky rebuttal, so just know that knowledge (or as you said your "highest degree in the room") does not mean you have or exercise wisdom and your warped mindset is going to set both of you back as leaders and black business owners, at some point. It's people like you that makes it a turn-off to give a black-owned business a try. Seek therapy. Find peace. Upgrade your character. Stop victimizing black people and creating false narratives. Then, be blessed. Maybe your mindset and talents can be more useful at a correctional facility instead."

"Do Not Recommend very unprofessional. Miss Banner became offended and upset because I asked about assistance with a matter in regard to my son. That somehow became a conversation on me being late on a $15 payment amongst other things. Very unprofessional woman."

"They seemed to always have some issue with my son everyday. Whether he was “throwing tantrums” Getting hurt or in their words “causing issues” we were also in the middle of potty training and they didn’t seem to be concerned about helping him. Always had an issues saying oh he has an accident on my carpet and I had to clean it. I took him out and over to bo peep and have had no behavioral issues AT ALL. My son has adhd and seems to me that just didn’t wanna deal with him."

"This CDC is truly amazing! I highly recommend Harmony House! Their staff seems to be patient, understanding, & caring. These are rare qualities now-a-days in the CDC circuit. Once again I have nothing but high praise to speak of this establishment"
