Dixon Academy At Northeast

My child hated this daycare and It's not hard to figure out why. I have witnessed the director of the facility yell and yank on childrens while "me" a parent watched. One day I sat in and saw 2 things that immediately didn't sit right with me. #1 the director yelled at MY child in my presence, and this happened as soon as we came in at 8:30 am Telling him it wasn't time to go to the other side of the room yet and "He Knows That"? I'm still trying to figure out what she meant anyways he IMMEDIATELY started crying... So after witnessing that I decided to stay a few minutes after. (missing 30 min of work) and sit with my child to see what EXACTLY goes on. That's when I witnessed #2 THE DIRECTOR OF THE FACILITY yank on a young black boy's arm and pull him to the ground aggressively, telling him to sit down because everyone was supposed to be sitting cross legged on the floor. I didn't like the way she yanked on that little 2 year old boy and I was wondering who his parents were so I could inform them. Long story short I removed my child from service. I'll never understand why people who don't like kids work in childcare...Those poor children I wouldn't even leave my dog here!

This center is absolutely disgusting staffing wise. They are good with the kids and making sure they learn the bare minimum there. It started out great and went downhill from there. When the assistant director is left in charge half the staff thinks it is a free for all and does whatever they please. Parent teacher relationships should be frowned upon at this center when it is not. The main director could learn to speak to others better and use a different tone. If there is a concern brought up they will barely do anything to address it or correct it. My child loved going there, now it's very difficult to even get them dressed in the morning. We will not be back.

They left a toddler outside, alone, on a 102 degree day for at least 10-15 minutes...and the only reason he was found was because a passer-by on the street came to the front door of the facility to say, "There's a little boy outside by himself."The department of health and human welfare has been called to this facility more than once.
