I have worked at WeeHaven for 3 years. I also attend WeeHaven as a child and the center and Blake have impacted me for the better. My siblings and cousins also attended WeeHaven. The lasting impact has come full circle. I have never worked with a boss with the heart and compassion that Blake has. She has gone over and beyond to make sure not only her employees are taken care of but the families of our center as well. The amount of care she has for the kids is amazing to see. Blake has encouraged me to further my education in nursing and early childhood education. She has worked with me and been a great support system. When I have children I would not trust any center the way I trust Blake and the staff at WeeHaven. Blake has helped me become not only a better teacher but a better person. She truly is a woman of God and he could not have given me a better role model, boss, mentor, and friend.

Our daughter had the most magical years of education while growing up with the Wee Haven family.

I’ve been in childcare for over 2 years now & I have to say this was the most toxic work environment I’ve ever worked in. Also the most unsafe & unclean daycare center i’ve ever stepped foot in. The playground is severely outdated & it’s just trashed, those poor kiddos have nothing to play with out there & what is provided is highly unsafe. & if anyone takes a look down in the basement I can assure you- you’d pull you child from Wee Haven immediately. Not to mention the large mouse infestation they seem to have but do nothing about. While working there for 10 months I saw a mouse at least once a week. In the teddy bear room, if you look behind the dramatic play kitchen area you will see a HUGE hole in the wall. I can promise you they are teetering on the edge of losing their 5 star step up to quality rating, if i didn’t know any better i’d say it’s probably MAYBE a two star center. The director(blake) is aware of all these issues, but just chooses not to fix them. Lastly the director at the center is never present & hard to speak to when she is there. Everything falls onto the lap of the assistant director (kayla) & she is the only reason that place stays afloat. Blake refuses to pay her educated teachers what they deserve, & becomes very aggressive when you stand up for yourself. My experience asking for a raise after I finished my Cda certification she was extremely condescending & just flat out nasty to me. She threatened to fire me for discussing wages with coworkers. At the end of that meeting she walked out while i was trying to speak & she SLAMMED the kitchen door behind her so hard the teacher in the Toddler room heard it. Then she proceeded to talk about me to a parent in the parking lot. She has a severe lack of education in not only management but in the early childhood education field. She does NOT have the best interest of the children enrolled in her center but more about they money. For how much they charge you should expect quality care, which your children are not always receiving. There are a few great teachers but others verbally abuse children & do not create a safe & healthy learning environment. Blake’s turns a blind eye to the fact that some of those children are being mistreated. Truly makes me sick that she allows the things that go on to go on. That place is on the verge of shutting down, please look anywhere else to send your babies. All those sweet kids deserve so much better than the care they’re receiving from wee haven. Blake seems like the sweetest person on the outside but I can promise you she is one of the most unkind people i’ve ever met.

We had our boys here for about 6 months. I have a 5yo and a 2yo. They “expelled” my 2yo for being a 2yo. The teacher could not redirect him and wasn’t experienced enough to manage the class. She was on her phone almost every time I was in the center. They also wouldn’t let me see the footage of the incidents and I never received incident reports. I would definitely think twice before sending your babies here. They do have some incredible teachers- but for little ones 3 and under- I wouldn’t send them here.

I have worked at Wee-Haven for awhile now and have loved it! I have been placed with all age categories and love connecting with each kiddo and enjoy watching them grow. The staff and management have been very flexible and love to have fun at work while providing top notch care for the children. The staff feels like family, which makes for a positive work environment and makes coming to work enjoyable. Kids love to have fun and our staff prides themselves in teaching the necessary information, while also having fun and allowing the children to explore themselves through play and various centers for creativity. Wee-Haven feels like my home away from home!

I have worked at Wee-Haven for some time now and love it! Every staff member has been welcoming and we have become a family. Wee-Haven is like my home away from home. We use our curriculum to enhance the children's creativity while also having fun. The connections I have made with each kid and even the parents are something I will treasure. Each kid is special and I love being even a small impact in their life. I enjoy taking the school agers to school and seeing the light in their eyes as they run to the entrance of their school. Over the summer I took the school agers on field trips such as the zoo, Paul Brown Stadium, the pool, and many more and I loved seeing them learn and see them experience new things with their friends. I love Wee-Haven!!

I switched my son to this daycare because the one he had been at was lacking in communication. I told them before he started and included on his paperwork the steps we were taking to help his behavior and get a diagnosis for him. They did not communicate his behavioral issues there until he had to be sent home, despite me asking daily how his day was. I again explained the therapies he was in and the owner's daughter expressed that would have been good information for them to have had. Which they did. Verbally AND on his paperwork. It quickly escalated into him being sent home frequently and myself being told that he would be expelled if he did not improve quickly. At that point he had been in multiple therapies for months and I was doing everything I could to help. One therapist made multiple visits to the daycare and the teacher was not receptive to any feedback on how to help his behavior. The daycare is chaotic, and a complete sensory overload, with no attempt made at reducing the sensory input. I told the owner that I would have to find another daycare because he would not be able to improve at the rate they wanted. This was Friday. Monday the owner called me to tell me that following Friday was going to be his final day. She was so rude to me, including telling me that Friday to Friday was 2 weeks notice, that I felt uncomfortable leaving him there for any more time, I picked him up and made alternative arrangements until I could find another daycare. The owner is rude and this is NOT a good fit for a special needs child at all.

I could give them a zero rating I would. They have my child anxiety over something that had pre rearranged before he began going. Do not bring your children here

I gave one star rating that being the lowest possible, my six year old son was isolated (in the dark) for being talkative during a movie. Obviously not a good fit for my son, I gave a 7 day notice and paid for a week he did not attend (policy requires 10 days). I now owe $700 in late fee's. The experience I had with Wee Haven has been negative and just continues to drag on to no avail. I have to say the billing system used is outdated and the policies are unreasonable. I would not recommend to anyone.
