Kids Learning Path

My son went to this school and everything was fine for a few months until one day I picked him up and he had bruises and scrapes on his arms and legs and I just thought maybe he was playing rough (that’s still not okay) I spoke to the teacher to ask what had happened and they said they didn’t see anything happen. Then that same week my mother called me because she picked up my son from school and she told me my son has deep scratches all over his face and scratches on his arms. I drove down there to ask the teachers what happened and not one person there could answer me because they did not see it happen did not know what happened to him. My son is 4 yrs old so he told me a few kids were hitting and scratching him and they pulled his hair, I started crying after he told me he didn’t want to go back because in his own words he said «I don’t want to go to school, they don’t like me because they hit me.» I mean I don’t understand how this can happen in such a small facility and I’m paying a daycare to watch my son and I trusted them to at least watch over him well or call me and let me know there has been a incident with the kids but everyone was stunned because they didn’t see any of it happened (means no teacher was around) if I can get all my money back I would ASAP!

We wanted to give this place A chance since it is under new ownership, so I talked with them and toured the facility. I noticed while outside that they have a very large back yard area and I specifically asked if they always have a teacher outside with the kids and they assured me they did. When I dropped my son off, I noticed there was only 2 adults working but there weren’t many kids so I dodnt think much of it. My regular caretaker was in the hospital so I brought my son there for about a week, it was right during Thanksgiving and they were closed completely that Thursday and Friday so I had to scramble to find care while they were closed. After the holiday was over I brought my son back and still noticed that there was only ever a couple adults, even when there were a lot of kids. When I picked up my son the second night back, he limped all the way across the room to me and, of course, I immediately noticed and asked what happened. I was told that he was outside playing, and was acting fine one minute, then started limping, but nothing happened and no one saw anything. I found this hard to believe, but I figured he just twisted it a bit and it would be fine in the morning. Unfortunately, I was wrong. When I dropped him of the next day, I told them I needed an accident report, when I picked him up they didn’t have it and said they had to talk to the lady who was there the night of the accident to get it. And to top that off, the teacher told me that my son had pooped his pants while he was outside playing amd she had to throw away his underwear. My son hasn’t had an accident in almost a year, he will go up to anyone, anywhere near him to ask to go potty, anyone, which makes me think again that there wasn’t an adult around. So, it’s days later now and my son is still limping, it’s finally my day off so I go to the daycare center to pick up the accident report and it still isn’t ready, they call the lady on the phone and write it up finally. The story I heard from everyone up until now ha been «nothing happened, no one saw anything» and now I get the accident report and it says this «during playtime outside, (name) was playing on the slide playset and jumped and may have sprained his ankle» and the action by staff/​first aid administered heading said «had him sit down to check his ankle.» I was infuriated, they never, ever told me that he jumped off of anything, nor that there may have been a sprain, had they told me that, I would’ve taken him to the doctor the next day. Their story all along was that he was walking along fine one minute and limping for no reason the next. I took him straight to the doctor and had to explain all of this, they tried to do an xray but my son wouldn’t sit for it, doctor did an exam and said he had soft tissue damage to his ankle, but thankfully no sprain. My son limped around for about 5 weeks and he still wakes up in the middle of the night a couple times a week and complains that his ankle and foot are «owie». This whole situation was just handled so poorly, I honestly think that they never even had an adult outside with the kids, or if they were, must’ve been on their phone because they obviously weren’t paying attention. Needless to say, we won’t be back. I just can’t believe how badly this was handled, I’m so very thankful his injuries weren’t worse.

I rate this Day care and learning center a 5 because my kids who are 3 and 4 Jayden and Jeremiah absolutely love this place. The staff and students are good with them. They have a lot of fun and learn something new everyday. Their vocabulary and social skills have excel quite well since they started here.
Thank you Kids Learning Path :)
