Kiddie College

This place looked great when first enrolled my son a year ago. I really liked the Director and it seemed like they had a lot of activities planned to keep the kids busy. Over the course of the year there were more directors than I can count. There were constantly new teachers and frequent times they were understaffed. There was a period after my son had already been attending around 6 months that he was really upset in the morning when I would drop him off. One morning the owner told me she couldn’t leave the infant room to help me with him because no one else was there.
He had a couple of accidents there, including a gashed finger when they let him play with an aluminum can. The teacher lied and told me it was a plastic toy. I should have enrolled him in a new preschool long ago but didn’t want to force another adjustment. The reason I finally decided to pull him out was when I noticed red marks on his wrist. When I asked him what had happened he said a teacher pulled him. That was the first and only day I had seen her.
To there defence, the owner told me he would take immediate action. I still have no idea what that teachers name is but hopefully they fired her.

My child attended this daycare for 6 months. Initially, everything was fine. However, it quickly became evident that the owners don’t care about the children or their employees. They went through 5 different directors during our 6 months there. They yelled at their teachers in front of parents and accuased their teachers of wrong doing in front of parents. On at least one occasion, one of the owners pushed one of the teachers. They were clearly not doing proper background checks on the people they hired as they would have someone quit or fire someone one day and the next day they would have someone else hired to fill the spot. There was no consistency with the teachers. I had issues with them not feeding my infant daughter on the correct schedule and even after writing it down for them and then going over it with them, they still messed it up. They also had some cleanliness issues. I went in on multiple occasions to find another child’s pacifier clipped to my daughters shirt and in her mouth, even though her pacifier was clearly labeled with her name. They also mixed up the children’s blankets of put infant’s in each other’s cribs, even though they each had their own designated cribs. They also let the children play with orher children’s diapers. When I brought my complaints to the owners they either did nothing or accused me of causing the issue. When my child was out sick they acted like she had the plague when I brought her back and barely let me in the front door to give them her doctor ‘s note permitting her to return. When I finally decided to pull my child out, several items that we had brought in labeled with her name were nowhere to be found. I would not leave my child here if they paid me!

We LOVE Kiddie College! I could not think of a better place for my child to be while I am at work. The Owners, Director and the teachers are just wonderful. I have had experiences at other daycare facilities but Kiddie College is by far the greatest place! The amount of planning that goes into my child’s day is amazing. I know that he is stimulated and loved. I also love that they are open to suggestions. We absolutely love Kiddie College and would highly recommend them!
