Promises Not Kept
The reviews highlight concerns about the daycare's failure to keep its promises. The authors, Bincy Baby and Tarn K., express disappointment and frustration with the daycare's lack of reliability, professionalism, and value. They mention poor responsiveness, including not adapting to revised COVID protocols, and instead, enforcing outdated isolation policies for staff and families.
Conflict and Disclaimers
Tarn K.'s review specifically mentions that the daycare is trying to avoid changing its policies to comply with new COVID protocols, allowing them to continue collecting fees while not paying staff. This review concludes that the daycare is a "huge scam" and advises others to avoid it.
Positive Experiences
On the other hand, Jennifer Jones shares a very positive experience with the daycare. Her child (not specified) enjoys attending the daycare and has formed strong bonds with the teachers. The child enthusiastically shares about their daily activities, including circle time and singing new songs.
