Alice's Precious Jewels Child Care & Preschool 3706 South Manitou Way, Tacoma, WA 98409

"My son has been at Alice’s Precious Jewels since he was 6 weeks old, he is now 8 and goes before and after school. My daughter is there now full time at 1 year old. I love the center and the staff."

"i came in a couple months ago trying to enroll my kids and the owner was very much rude. did not seem like a friendly daycare, seemed unorganized and kinda just dinghy…. left and never looked back. THANK GOD"

"Very unprofessional on how management is conducted at this facility. 0/10 recommend for anyone considering. Take your money and business and conduct it elsewhere. And wouldn’t give no advice on working here."

"So glad that the nightmare of having my kids enrolled at this daycare is over. I feel sorry for Alice's staff as she is the most condescending person I have ever met and not just to her staff, but to parents and kids as well. My daughter was not changed for an entire day (we know because we have different patterned pull ups at home and when we picked her up her pants, socks and shoes were dripping wet so she was likely never even checked. When we first started we were told 6 pm was the pick up time and that is what all of our paperwork said. My wife gets off at 5:30 so it was perfect for us. When we dropped our kids off for their first day they told us we needed to pick them up at 5:30. She left work early to pick them up and Alice got upset with her for not picking them up before 5 which according to her has been their pick up time for months. We had our kids in there for about 2 months and any interaction with Alice was like this. Talking over you and not even listening to what you are saying and accusing you of being disrespectful . If you have ANY other options I would go with them. We found out that one of the other kids had broken their arm 3 hours before pick up and their parents weren't even called. He was sitting there with an icepack on his arm when she showed up to pick up her son."

"If anyone is looking for daycare centers, DO NOT GO TO ALICE’S PRECIOUS JEWELS. My daughter went there this past week, and she came home with scratches on her stomach, one side of her face was VERY red, like someone slapped her, and they were not giving her her daily medication. She was coming home VERY distraught, wasn’t playful like she usually is, and just didn’t seem like the baby I had a week ago. When I asked about the medication, they told me “She’s too high needs and we can’t keep up with giving her meds.” This center has already been reported to the abuse number I was given by the state. But please, if you want someone to love and care for your children, do not take them to this daycare!
