Amanda's Garden 6709 Cleveland Road, Ravenna, OH 44266

"My son had been attending for about 6 months, the teachers are very friendly. They have really nice playgrounds for the kids on warmer days as well."

"This place is definitely not for babies and small children anyone under 5 is not going to get the care that they are especially if it's full time. If your child cannot speak up for themselves or defend themselves don't send them here!"

"My son has been going here for 4 years now and he loves it. The staff cares for my son with such patience and understanding. He has learned so much from going here. I decided to pay out of pocket to keep my son here because I know they know my son and what works best with him and I dont trust anyone else with him! The staff do need a raise though for how hard they work!!"

"So when we first got to Amanda’s garden they were great, no complaints, but that was due to the fact they hide them pretty well. As we continued our children being enrolled my kids have gotten hand foot and mouth from their establishment 4 times in one year, how does this happen if you clean and sanitize like you say you do. The staff is excellent and I love them, but they are extremely underpaid and overworked so I hold absolutely nothing against them. Management seems to be the issue here. With that said Staff members have told me to never leave my diapers or wipes there because they take them and give them to other kids at a cost. Word for word heard a conversation in the parking lot by a mother and a teacher and the teacher was expunged to her that she’s sorry they thought her kid was done with the wipes and diapers ect. My oldest has been bit by the staffs kid multiple times and nothing has been done about it because it is their nephew or something like that. My kids come home with ink pen and sharpie drawn all over them by the teachers. They have dried up boogers on their face that couldn’t have just happened the must have let the kids sit there like that for hours. The bathroom had mold in the corners, used toilet paper on the floor and looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in months. Their charity fundraiser seem like nothing more then them trying to finagle extra money out of their kids and parents, I only feel this way because all the fundraisers they have sent home never have a listed charity, never have what the money is going towards nothing it’s just selling to sell it seems. The class rooms are never at the states ratio, I have picked my child up multiple times and I’m the newborn room is 7-10 children and one teacher, I have asked where the second teacher is because i think I was told it’s 5 kids to one teacher in that room and was told by their staff well becky( the manger ) counts herself as a teacher but she’s never in the room. So your kids safety is nothing more then a checklist to meet to make state happy, actual safety is null and void. To top all this off the recently sent me a bill saying I owe all this money for being late, I asked for the times we were in and out because I have a gps drive tracker for work to make sure customers get the correct time so arrived, come to find out their times are extremely inaccurate( will post pictures if anyone would like to see) sent them how they we’re extremely inaccurate for one of the days. The did apologize and take “accountability” saying the tablets had a miscommunication, when the employees are the ones who clock us out. Then proceeded to show them that numerous clock ins and outs are inaccurate and they still want to charge me 10 dollars for 5 minutes when they are incorrect. I wouldn’t not send your kids here unles you have zero issues with them being understaffed, the owners family kid biting and hitting you children, them not cleaning your kid at all, lying about times you were there and times you left and and overall non professional day care experience. If you like those things I just listed send them here, if not run and don’t look back!!!!!( one more thing while we were communicating about their incorrect times of us being “late” I told them I wanted all communication to be through email that way it was documented because I have definitive proof of them being wrong, I received a call after that with someone named Jessica asking why didn’t I just wanna talk on the phone. I explained my reasonings about how I wanted it to be recited and documented and she cussed me out under her breath and hung up on me mid sentence. If anyone can tell me how to post pictures here I have a litany of bites, boogers, pack of staffing, closed till 10, only taking certain kids. The list goes on. Run run run and don’t look back your kids safety and we’ll being is worth more then this place will ever be able to offer you!"

"I went to pick up my nephew for my sister and they just let me in asking if I was someone (which was me) then she let me walk myself to the back with the other kids to get him he had snots all over his face and his hands knees and face was red like they just had him laying down on it all morning on top of that once I got 30 minutes away and he started fussing. I went to go make a bottle and I asked the lady before I left if she made sure everything was in there his formula etc. she said yes so I gotta check the bag to make him his bottle and then there was no formula or his rice. There was no diapers and the wipes.and I know my sister did not send my nephew like that! I’ve been told her this place is manic and she can’t do anything because she’s a single mom I get it but DONT LET THESE PEOPLE WATCH YOUR KIDS they get paid to take care of our kids and they’re not taking care of nothing but their own needs"
