I wouldn’t recommend my worst enemy’s child to attend this preschool. My son, who has an IEP and speech delay, was targeted by one of the staff members, Miss Tracey. My son started the preschool in the summer for their summer program and there were no issues until Miss Tracey started in the fall. I then started receiving multiple phone calls of a sudden about his behavior, but the one that took the cake was that my son purposely “peed” on her, mind you, my son is still in the process of being potty trained. Miss Tracey who’s “bright” took him off of the potty too early. Miss Tracey said that my son bit her and hit her, but ironically, no other staff member said this or seen this happen. I was told that things would get better when the lead teacher, Miss Meghan came came back, but they did not. Miss Mehgan was a good teacher, but she was not a helpful teacher. The preschool program depends on 1 sped certified teacher to look over 16+ kids, and when she’s absent, a non certified teacher who’s not sped certified substitutes, which is against the law. The company is too cheap to pay a sped certified substitute. The other teachers in the room are not certified to work with sped children. The staff turn over rate is high. I was told my son would be sent home with a calendar of the food he eats each day, which he wasn’t. This place is a joke. I willingly took my son out because the program is not ran correctly or professionally. My son who has a speech delay cannot advocate for himself and with it being shown that the staff is not reliable, it was more safe for me to remove him. He would go to school happy and come home angry. He started doing odd things like smuggling his head into his pillow. If you have a child in pre k, who has ab IEP or speech delay, please place them else where and do not waste your time. You’re better off putting your child into a childcare center until they’re old enough for kindergarten because the preschool program is literally a childcare center covered by the word, “preschool” because they need the funding to stay open. If you look for your child to go else where they will literally spam your phone with phone calls so they will not lose funding. I know they say don’t judge a book by it’s cover, but please judge this place by it’s cover.

Amazing daycare. They have helped me and my son so much with his delays and advocated for him on my behalf when it was needed. Mr. Ash is my sons favorite and he always talks about how he wants to see him. I couldn't recommend a better daycare especially is your child has ADHD/Autism or any type of IEP

Care A Lot Childcare center gets a bad rep and i'm not sure why. The workers are friendly and are patient with the children. They are very attentive to their needs and make sure that their safety is always put first. The director is unbelievably kind and is always very understanding and willing to be flexible. For example I forgot to add my child on schedule for the day and the director let them come to school no problem. The cook is very diligent with the way the food is prepared and the way the kitchen is cleaned everyday. The cook also has formed relationships with the children and they love and respect the cook. Even if someone is having a bad day, it will go unnoticed to the children. Whenever my child comes home they always tell me how much fun they had and are excited to go back. I would 100% recommend Care A Lot to anyone who is looking for a safe space for their children while they work.

I used to love this daycare so much when the owners had the previous director. The center was more efficient, put together and more joyful and my children enjoyed it more. I recently went through an experience here I hope no other parent has to. The new director is absolutely awful, unprofessional and inexperienced and made my time for my children horrible. Not once has or did the owners reach out and I’m sure it’s due to the fact this director is a close friend of the family. I would NEVER EVER recommend this daycare to anyone especially to leave your child there in their care all day when they don’t take complaints ofOne of their teachers seriously and end up kicking out an innocent child when no proof was brought to my attention not once!
