Imagination Station

Not sure what the previous post was about, but that is completely inaccurate. Both of my kids have gone here, one still does, and love it. My kids have been very attached to their teachers because of the interaction and love that is shown to them. Yes, there are high school kids that are in the classrooms, but mostly during the afternoons and almost always with a regular teacher there. There are the usual issues in day care such as biting, hitting, toy-stealing, etc but these are toddlers- they are going to do that anywhere. I always get called when my kids are injured by another child and immediately advised at pickup if mine was the aggressor. As for watching the cameras, that has to be done in the office- and those were only recently installed. I have mentioned to many people that they should bring their kids here. Bible stories, letters of the week, themes, etc and YES my kids have learned many things there. Extracurriculars such as gymnastics and dance. Special events like the Tooth Fairy for dental week, in-house pumpkin picking, fire truck visit, etc. My only complaint is the parking lot is too small at rush hour!

Looks great on the outside but their "curriculum" is a joke. Their toys are basically broken pieces of things and non educational. Their "music time" consists of the TEENAGE/highschool "teachers" turning on a radio and sitting down on the floor while the kids act out of control . No discipline at all. I watched the classroom setting for about ten minutes one day (there are Camaras in the classes) and the two teenage teachers were sitting against the wall with kids just running everywhere . I observed a child take away a toy from my son right in front of the teacher and wasnt even spoken to about it . It was just looked over. I have a bachelors degree in child education along with a teachers degree and this is just not a facility that offers any sufficient educational strategies for young children ( the most important stage to learn right and wrong I must mention ) . My 2 year old son cried everyday pulling in the parking lot. After removing him from here he immediately started a Mother's Day out program and now starts clapping every time we pull in the parking lot exclaiming "Yayyyy school !!!" THAT SAYS ENOUGH when your child is basically cueing you on how terrible an experience at this daycare is. Oh and the staff was so nice until un-enrollment . The main lady who has worked there 18 years and has all her daughters highschool friends running the place didn't say one word to me but instead smirked and walked past me on my sons last day. DON'T PAY IN ADVANCE because your child will not like it and they won't return any funds except for two weeks if your lucky!!
