After School Nightmare! by lovingfmparent on August 27th, 2008 on Field of Dreams Nurture and Education Center

I've been posting my experience with Field of Dreams on various sites so that other parents don't have to go through what I just went through. My child started going to Field of Dreams since the very beginning (she was 4 and is now 7). She once made it outside their gates into the parking lot in Baxter Village from their playground on the freeway side. I also watched on their "camera monitor" my daughter cry for 10 minutes, rubbing her eyes while a teacher walked back and forth and ignored her (I had to call and see what was going on - my poor girl had sunscreen in her eyes). No place is perfect, and, truthfully, everything else went well up until now. They just recently opened their new Field of Dreams After School Adventure. There's no security, they've taken away services (but upped the price) - no lunches, no playground, no gates, no cameras as advertised on their website - and it sits in the middle of a business plaza. I emailed the owner and the director my concerns (email me at lauravjangos@comporium.net and I'll send you my email to them - nothing nasty, just to the point) regarding security after I expressed my concerns in a parent orientation for their new facility. Without warning, I was called and told that my child is no longer welcome there "because I am a bad apple" for expressing concern about their facility. Other parents expressed their concerns as well, but I guess my child is being penalized as a show of "Don't complain or your child can't come here.". Other than for the 2 instances I've mentioned, I have NEVER complained about anything before and was completely shocked that they would kick my daughter out of place she spent almost 4 years of her life! There was no regard for her or the effect on her with them literally giving her the boot for something that wasn't even her fault. I was told it was a GOOD "business decision" and that I had 30 days to find another after school care program for my girl. I must also mention that when I spoke with the director, who's a cold you-know-what, she said she "can't be concerned with what door a parent leaves from with their child" when I expressed that I saw a parent leave out a different door than what they were supposed to. Interestingly enough, when I picked my daughter up (the day she got the boot), they had a desk placed in front of the door I mention and the director was personally pointing people to the sign-out sheet (that some people didn't even know about and NO ONE AT Field of Dreams was checking!). Well, at least my complaint had two SMALL positive outcomes in that respect. If you take your child there, you'll have no right to express a concern! Beware! It's not so "loving and nurturing" like they advertise. I hope they see these posts and get with the program. Parents have a right to voice their concerns. I could see if I was being ridiculous, angry, mean - whatever, but, seriously! I expressed my concerns in an orientation and one email. THAT warranted my child's dismissal? What a sad commentary on a sad, now mediocre (at best) place for kids.

The best by ??? on August 27th, 2008 on Green Acres Learning Center

The best group of employees in town

very disappointed by mother of 3 on August 26th, 2008 on Kids Are Our Future

This has to be the worst unsanitary daycare I have ever seen. It is so cramped. The owner knows nothing about children, and is really weird. Voices talk to her. Scary huh??? I would never leave my children there in her care. We need good quality childcare. Do not like the outside features fool you. The preschool program is a joke, all they do is color!!!! They can get that at home!!!!!

I Was Treated Like Dirt by Ms. R on August 25th, 2008 on Play Care Learning Center

I was a customer of play care for about a year. During this time I had numerous problems with this daycare including dirty carpets, a frequently dirty diaper at pickup time and dirty toys. My child was frequently sick and I finally had enough and decided to remove my child. I gave 2 weeks notice to the owner on a friday of my intent to remove my child. The owner became irate and yelled at me not to bother bringing my child back on monday! She also did not refund the 2 weeks worth of daycare expenses I had paid for. The owners of this business are unethical and I believe they are crooks.

The best staff ever by Dorine Ad on August 23rd, 2008 on Primrose School of Eldorado

My son has a speech delay and i tried 2 other daycares before i decided to take him to this one believe me when i say they are the best his teacher is so dedicated to him and she is trying her best to help him, he is very happy there and so am i, now he is turning 3 and we have moved i am trying to find him a daycare as good as this one but i am sure it is going to be very hard, for that i might drive everyday if it comes to that just to keep him there.

Not what I see by Inside scoop on August 22nd, 2008 on Play Care Learning Center

I have never seen filthy carpets here. Place always looks clean to me. Maybe I need glasses.:( Staff friendly and really good to the kids. Some people just don't get along well with those with authority, maybe you just didn't hit it off with the owner. I've seen the toys being cleaned, so that's not a concern for me. Does you child never get hungry or say "I'm hungry"? When your kids go to school do they get their book covers, crayons etc. free? Mine don't, we have to buy them, hmmmm that's a new thought. Plus we pay taxes to send them to school. What seems to be the difference? Oh well, just my two cents, which I'm sure you don't want.

Great school by Valerie on August 20th, 2008 on Garnett Learning Center

My son has been going here for almost a year now and loves it. They have a great pre-k curriculum and their rates are so reasonable. They feed the children breakfast, lunch, and a snack, which makes my mornings easier (since he can eat at school). Highly recommended!

Happy and Healthy Kids by Mommy of 2 on August 15th, 2008 on Chibbler's Day Care

Both my children ages, 2 yrs and 2 mos. attend Chibbler's Daycare. My 2 year old is always VERY excited to go. She often sings "Wash your hands" which is a popular song at Chibbler's. The owner/operator of Chibbler's is very energentic with the kids and loves to play "tickle Monster!" I give a thumbs up to Chibbler's Daycare!

Child Care Information

Most child care centers are operated in high regards to the regulations put forth my local city, county, and state rules. However some facilities have been found negligent in the past. When evaluating a child care center ask quesions about the age of infants and children accepted, drop in childcare policies, and what childcare solutions are available in your price range. Childcare forms often ask questions about vouchers, tax credits and household income to determine what the rates and overall costs to you are. Childcare workers are ofen certified and highly qualified and licensed to provide assistance to any situation you might need.
