  I did my last practicum here, I like the bright and colorful environment here, it will be very helpful for children's creation and imagination. The teachers are responsible and patient, they helped me improve my professional development.

  Our child has enjoyed her time at your daycare very much, and my wife and I have been incredibly impressed with your nurturing, caring and professional approach to child care. Thank you so much for all you have done in making our kids feel comfortable, cared for and safe.

  As a parent I am an observer and keep myself attentive during the drop off and pick up time and changes my time of pickup to find whats happening behind the closed doors. You don't want to leave your children where they isolate crying and terrified children and shout at them to sit at one place. You are leaving the most precious part of your life to them and they would make sure to scar them for life. The teacher are so overwhelmed with work that they behave frustrated with children. I have encountered teachers shouting and leaving the classrooms with children alone( I wont believe anyone but I have seen it through my own eyes and heard teachers shouting) complained about it and feedback taken poorly owner saying it might be parents shouting when there were no parents inside when I arrived late to drop off my child. Can't believe my own eyes and ears.I am not sure on what basis government are providing them licenses to play with the little ones life. Owner would suggest to take your child somewhere else that's how they take the feedback. If I had the time to take them for a ride I would have strongly revolted their practices and complaint to the authority to close all the locations. Disheartened and frightened for the little ones lives. Complaint has been registered but as a parent I should inform you all. It is just not me there are other parents with same concern. Additionally, teachers are frequently engaged in cleaning tasks during critical playtime, which is essential for a child's development. This diversion of attention may limit meaningful interactions that foster growth and learning. There are significant concerns regarding the current practices at this daycare that could impact the well-being of children and the experiences of parents in the future. Reports of teachers raising their voices at children have been noted, suggesting a potential pattern that may continue. Parent feedback appears to be inadequately addressed by management, which could cultivate a growing frustration among families. As someone who is invested in early childhood development, it is crucial to consider the negative effects that this environment may have on children. Continuous stressors in the setting could lead to traumatic experiences that potentially affect children's emotional and social development long-term. Furthermore, the way children are managed, particularly if they are separated from peers for expressing themselves, could engender feelings of fear and isolation. Feedback from previous teachers indicates that their roles often extend beyond teaching to include janitorial and culinary responsibilities, raising concerns about the overall quality of care and education provided in the future
