Mommy's Time Out – Daycare 1151 Henley Street, Orangeburg, SC 29115

"Ms. Gale is very rude and unprofessional she doesn't take accountability when she has made a mistake. Everyone at the daycare is nice and respectful beside her. Oh and don't let her be running late she WILL LEAVE YOUR CHILD AT THE SCHOOL"

"They are very biased and Ms.Gayle is a very unprofessional director. They threatened to kick my kids out of their program about every 2 weeks. They require a covid test every time a child has the sniffles even when it's just allergies. My child was sick one week, I kept him out of school and daycare until he was fever free for 24 hours with no medicine before I sent him back. He ended up running a fever at the end of the next day and once again I was threatened with dismissal for something I was not aware of throughout the day. The staff gives attitude over the phone with simple questions. My children were getting bullied at this daycare and Ms. Gayle responded with "I would not have my children riding the daycare van if I believe they were being bullied, if that was the case. So mom you may need to make some other arrangements for your boys to get home from school since you believe they are being bullied. Thank you!" Her exact words from the text she sent this morning."

"Initially I thought this was a great place; however, the director, Ms. Gayle is and can be very unprofessional. My grandchild has been there for a short period of time (2 months) and this is her first daycare. She enjoyed coming and love some of the staff members. As a parent/grandparent I expressed a concern and apparently you're not able to ask questions because my child was sent home with a letter stating that due to the concerns that she will no longer be able to attend as of that date. It is very unprofessional and uncourteous to send a dear john letter to a parent stating that the child can no longer attend after that day. My grandchild was crying hysterically one morning when dropped off and made a comment stating "please don't beat me or hit me" which is unusual for her to say. When I picked her up that afternoon I simply asked in a respectful tone what type of discipline they give the kids when they misbehave and how was her behavior. The conversation between myself and the staff member went really well and she assured me that they don't pop the kids and that her behavior was fine. I was totally shocked when my daughter mentioned the letter she received. Removing a 2 year old because the parent asked a question is ridiculous and to me unethical. Every parent has the right to be concern for their kids safety and what type of parent would I be if I didn't follow up. I don't know if there was any truth to what she (child) said and her(Child) reaction but the way the situation was handled was very unprofessional and petty. My 2 year old also mentioned that " the big kids be mean to me". For a 2 year old she's very fluent. This was not a big issue because I know how kids are and can be mean from time to time but my concern is why are the bigger kids mixed with the toddlers. So with that being said Mommy Time Out has some nice staff members but if you question them about anything your child may be dismissed abruptly without any care. Due to the lack of professionalism by the director Ms. Gayle I don't recommend."

"Our little one have been a part of Mommy’s Time Out for several years. As a parent with high standards. We have thoroughly enjoyed every minute. All the teachers are Exceptional. It is not just a (Play) daycare, but a LEARNING care center. I am so sorry for those with bad experiences (the world is made of rules), believe me, you will not find another facility that is as caring, loving, and concern about the future of your little one. MOMMY TIME OUT is paving the way for ours….. Thanks Mommy Time Out for all you do!!!!!"

"I have read some nasty comments about Mrs. Gayle I disagree she is old school and firm and there is nothing wrong with that, my Foster Daughter Loves IT!! When I made initial contact she told me the do's and don'ts and what would not be tolerated and If I had an unruly child I may have taken offense. They teach these children manners and respect and help them with their homework. Simply put rules are rules. I feel good about my child being there count it a blessing they accepted her. It's clean you can smell freshness at the door. Those who had a problem with her were part of the problem!"
