What parents say

• Farnaz Towhidi

  My daughter 22 old month join south children academy for 11 days each day 3 hours, she bit for 3 times. After that the director of there said we will try more to observe her, the day after that I saw that she bit again twice on her hand while they did not report it. I also saw while the ratio of this age must be 1 teacher for 3 kids they have only 2 teacher for 7 kids in some hours. When I asked why there is only two teachers the director said we can not have an extra teacher for 1 extra kid. The email that I sent to the manger did not reposed. This day care needs lots of improvement. I will never ever send my kid there again.

  My Son's worst daycare experience in Fredericton. Educators have no clue what's going on with the kids, no education activities whatsoever, but my major concern was about following simple hygiene procedures in any daycare. My son only joined this daycare for few days and every time we pick him up, he is filthy and never cleaned up, I understand kids play and get messy, but they should be cleaned up ! one day there was dirt in his nose and mouth, and it took us an hour to clean his nose and mouth in the shower, that's unacceptable. As a health care worker I'm very concerned about my son's safety and hygiene. When you pick up your kid and there are big scratches on his face, you expect the educator to explain to you what happened, but no one knows what's going on, so it became a safety issue for us as well and decided to pull out our son and stay home for now, oh and by the way, the children's academy didn't refund us the security deposit . I'm considering filing an official complaint against them with public health and service NB daycare inspection as I documented all these incidences with pictures. Now to address your reply down here, I am Yousef's father, and I've never spoken to you, that was my wife ( worried mother ) who attempted to call you few times, definitely not 16 times that's a clear exaggeration from your end, my negative experience with your daycare was completely based on how my son looked and acted during those days. we have treated the educators with utmost respect when we pick up our son. We have been to many daycare facilities in the country as we moved around often and this is the first time we run into these issues in a daycare. I am a healthcare worker who deals with children on daily bases and my concerns were based on documented observations and they were never addressed. Unfortunately, now your reply reflects unprofessionalism in dealing with this issue

  Very unprofessional, lacking communication. I am glad my kid found another daycare. Not recommended. Not at all. Read reviews below before deciding to send your kid. Appearances are deceiving. (This is a redacted review.)

  These guys are real professionals! My daughter has been here at Kimble for a while now, and It is amazing to see how happy she is and how smart she has become! Her skill set has doubled, and I never have any doubt that she has had a busy and rewarding day every day! Keep up the good work. It hasnt gone unnoticed!

  Absolutely great staff and wonderful place for children to learn. I highly recommend for daycare services and employment. Staff are well educated and prioritize children and their needs to help with their development and learning. Management is amazing and willing to help in any way.
