"Horrible daycare I have ever seen. 2nd week my grandkids was there an employee hit her. First red flag. Never ever ignored signs.. Should have them than..Month later I go pick them up my grand baby tell me lady hit her butt hard. Tag. She change her story when her teacher ask who. This was a Monday. My daughter go Friday morning to drop her children off. They tell her the kids is terminated due to none payment which she received letter that money was due on week prior but she told them she was paying that morning money in hand. But very very rude unprofessional turn the kids away stated they didn’t want the payment know this girl had to go to work and thus could have been done day before week before but they did it the morning of in Front of her children with all their things I. Her hand. She ask to speak with owner who was on the phone while all this was going on and teacher stated that the owner was under the weather and did not want to speak to her. When I tell you evil unprofessional heartless. I would not allow my dog to attend this daycare and y’all please pay attention to Red Flags and who you leave your children in care of. God this, sweet talking fake people me are the worst. I hate my grandchildren and had to experience such cruelty. No star on reviews. Horrible"

"My daughter attended this daycare from June 2022 - July 2023. On July 20, 2023 I went to pick my daughter up just like any other day. This day wasn’t a normal day, I arrived to see blood running down my child’s arm from what seems to be a scratch at first. I asked the first teacher I seen which was Ms. Michelle, “what happened to my child’s arm?” Her response was, “Did I do that?” I’m confused on her response, but at this point I still didn’t accuse anyone of harming her. I get in the car and cleans her up only to find it’s not a scratch but nail indentations. At this point I became furious and wanted to speak with the owner and review footage. On Monday July 24, 2023 I met with Mrs. Hardwick, the owner. During the meeting Ms. Michelle was allowed to explain her written statement, which honestly didn’t make since. Ms. Michelle did not know what happened yo my daughter, but stated, “If I did it I truly apologize.” Mrs. Hardwick seemed just as concerned as me before this interview. When this interview was coming to an end Mrs. Hardwick stated, “Mom we are short of staff so if the video footage shows she did anything are you okay with suspension?” I agreed to this not seeing the footage because I don’t know was this incident accidental or intentional. She also stated, “Ms. Michelle had a stroke a while back so she forgets sometimes.” Which I felt Mrs. Hardwick was using Ms. Michelle disability as a crutch. Fast forward to July 26, 2023 , I picked my daughter up earlier than usual because this is the day we have ice cream dates but I have a meeting with Mrs. Hardwick during our usual time. I arrived to see Ms. Michelle at work. At this point my blood starts to boil because I don’t know how she’s able to continue working with kids if we haven’t settled the issue. I go in and check out my daughter and grab all her belongings. I asked Ms. Jasmine, “May you tell Mrs. Hardwick that I would like a copy of Ms. Michelle statement and video footage.” Assuming Ms. Jasmine forwarded my message, Mrs.Hardwick left a voicemail on my phone stating, “I was disappointed when you showed up early.” Never knew I couldn’t pick my daughter up early or did she not want me to see Ms. Michelle at work? As mom I want to know my child is safe , that no one is intentionally harming my child. Yet her accused abuser was still allowed to be in her presence. Had I know Ms. Michelle would work that day my daughter would have stopped attending this daycare IMMEDIATELY! As on August 2, 2023 I have not received a copy of Ms. Michelle statement or any video footage, but I was told by Mrs. Hardwick that her licensing consultant would reach out."

"They are wonderful ❤. I took my first born there 5 years ago and now I take my youngest there. You cannot trust everyone with your children, but I trust Jaads. Thank you for loving on my children ❤."

"Do not recommend sending your children to this daycare. In the beginning, they are so nice and welcoming until one thing doesn’t go their way. They inconvenience you and make you pick up your children earlier than the closing time because they don’t want to continue to pay their workers. They Discriminated against my son and began to mistreat him and stopped being nice, so he HATED going to school, he would cry every morning. She dismissed my 2 year old Autistic son from the program because he was a “trouble child” and Gave me NO answers when I tried to figure everything out. The director hung up in my face and my sons Grand father, tried to be the mediator of the situation and she hung up in his face also. Very unprofessional. They’re wicked elderly woman and it’s time for a new staff or just shut the whole program down. Don’t send your kids here."
