| Comment: | review i do not recommend this daycare at all. the daycare owner’s very unprofessional & inconvenient. my son has been goin to this daycare since june 2021 his last day was 02/11/22. u do the math. i wanted this to be his daycare he stayed at until we moved out of town but that was cut short on 02/13 when his daycare teacher (leshia) lied to me for the last time. made me wonder how many times she’s lied before and i didn’t catch it. the unprofessionalism started a while ago & i ignored it bc she was someone dear to my heart (kinda like my aunt) & my son loves her so much. like alot. so since the first day tyler started coming there she has always had other stuff going on preventing her from working a full shift. when he first started she had doctors appts & surgery so my son had to be out for 2 weeks for her surgery (i understood bc that’s was medically necessary) … 2 weeks turned into 3 weeks AGAIN i was very understanding bc she was like an aunt to me. she told me she would take care of whoever watched my son (she didn’t) i took care of it. his gma came down from almost 2 hrs away to get him and watch him. ok so after he returned she had doctors apts causing me to be late to work & having to work w. her bc she was the only 1 doing second shift and i needed her. what the other review said abt ur child being left w. someone else this is def correct. she would leave all the kids w. aunt lulu & go where ever. i have over 8 text in my phone of her texting me asking me to come get him early so she could go w. her friend or come get him on time so she could make it to a movie … so she could go watch football etc & everytime i would find a way for her to be able to make it even when it put me in a bind. i would have my mother pick him up, my aunt, my brother whoever was available just so i could accommodate her. i would do whatever was necessary so that my son could stay there. so many mornings she’d text & say she’s not opening til late bc she had to do stuff & i would be late to work bc of it. i know i’ve accommodated her over 10 times. to the point my family started getting mad bc it was ALWAYS something & they have to stop what they’re doing to go get my child bc i worked 25 mins away & couldnt. around november i started working from home (my relationship w. her became worse then) she abused the fact that i was working from home she really started calling out then. i’m not gonna lie i told her anytime she needed me to keep my son home i could if she had something she really had to do but i didn’t think it would be that much. from november til now (february) i’ve gotten in trouble at work 5 times. i’ve been written up once for it. bc my son was home and loud in the background when he wasn’t supposed to be. it was 3 kids goin to the daycare she would text me like the other 2 kids aren’t coming today & i would tell her my son is the next morning she would text me saying he can’t come bc of such & such. november she canceled on me 3 times that month (looking @ my text) in december she canceled on me 4 times bc she had to close on her house, meet w. her lawyer, go out w/ her friend & clean her house bc she sold it. so january comes & it’s time for her to move she told me she needed a week off to move so i let her have it although i was irritated w. her & the bs …… i didn’t want to switch my son school bc we are moving out of town in april so i didn’t want to keep switching so i said april is in 3 months i can wait. however it became time for him to go back to school so i texted her asking where am i meeting her at she told me he couldn’t come back bc she didn’t have a refrigerator yet & she couldn’t run a daycare w. out 1. again i understood although i was irritated as hell. so that week pass by (week 2) & week 3 comes so i texted her AGAIN asking where & what time we’re meeting she tell me we’re not meeting & to send my son back w. his gma (almost 2 hrs away) so she called me & said she couldn’t meet me this time bc her van was getting fixed. mind u, she has 3 cars plus the van (4) …. my son was supposed to be the only kid. he ride in her personal cars all the time so i asked that. she LIED & said it was more than just him it was gonna be him & 3 other kids. 1 of the kids from her previous daycare & 2 new ones from her new town. so i fell for it. again? bc this is supposed to be my aunt why would she lie to me? well she did ..i wind up speaking to 1 of the kids parents & they told me he don’t go there anymore bc she said she couldn’t meet to get him but she meet to get my son everyday mind u, she told me this particular parent couldn’t meet before 5:30 so i would have to meet at that time. so my son finally go back to school after being out for 3 weeks …. we met at 8:30am to drop off & to pick up i HAD to meet at 5:30 (although that time didn’t work for me) my lunch break is usually from 4pm-5pm so meeting at 5:30 and having to get back home would have me on lunch for almost 2 hrs but i did it the first 2 days … & i got in trouble by my job for getting home at 5:47pm. a lunch break that’s an hour and forty seven minutes. i couldn’t be mad at my job bc i knew i had went over. so the other days she said the other little boy wasn’t coming back bc of some bs excuse she made. so we met on my time. friday she told me “ima ask them this weekend can they meet me a lil earlier will it work for them” … so i find out saturday that the child don’t even go there anymore. on sunday (today 2/13) i texted her asking what did the other parents say abt meeting earlier she texted me the laughing face & says “he’s (my son) not coming tomorrow i’m heading out of town tonight i’ll be back tomorrow night it’s vday & my friend just said they wanna go to the beach lol” i instantly knew she was lying … bc she don’t like cold weather at all & the beaches around here are cold af it’s not even sunny at the beach right now the weather is ugly (yes i looked up the weather) … so at that moment i was over the lies. it was all just too much i also knew she was lying by what the other parent told me yesterday abt their kid not being there anymore and she had been lying all week abt this lil boy being there. so i called my cousin to see if she could watch my son bc atp im gonna have to quit my job if he’s in the background making noise so i’m telling my cousin what happened and my cousin says tieara that lady wanted u to take tyler out of her daycare instead of her telling u she did things to make u withdraw him from there and at that very moment it all made sense. she really did. all january she was not working 3 weeks straight my son was home w. me & i got wrote up she didn’t care she still got paid. then this bs happens last minute so i have to pay a sitter to watch my son again she didn’t care. instead of her being real and saying tieara i’m moving 30 mins away can u find a new daycare she drug it out as long as u could until u got tired. this was the most unprofessional mess i’ve dealt with. i mean the whole 8 months he’s been there it’s been unprofessional af but these last 2 months topped it off. i have so many screenshots of her canceling on me & my stepdad literally told me 2 weeks ago to find a new daycare bc it doesn’t do any good if my child is the only 1 there. when he first started it was 7 kids there now she’s down to none. that tells me a lot. im sad bc i really loved this lady like my own aunt & my son loves her so much i just don’t understand how u can do your own ppl wrong karma will come tho. i do NOT recommend this daycare at all. although she’s very clean, & good w. kids …. i need convenience & reliability over everything. |

| Comment: | ever since my child has been goin to daycare here it’s been nothing but a great experience. leshia loves my son & my son loves her. very clean , very nice setting & she actually teaches the kids. my son is only 18mos & he’s so smart. she treats all kids equally just as if they’re her own. highly recommended. |

| Comment: | This was a terrible experience for my daughter being at this location. A unlicensed worker was working in the home and very rarely would the owner be there. However, this the owner is the one getting paid. My daughter cried each time I would take her there until I noticed the displeasure and removed her from that place. Do your homework your children needs an advocate for them especially if they can't do it. |
