Childtime on North Pennsylvania Avenue

I do not recommend specifically because of how the staff treat each other. Not only did I show up for a tour today and they had no idea I was even coming (I set the tour up via phone). A staff member who was on break and very kind gave me the tour. While showing me one of the classrooms, a staff member came to the door and was very rude to the employee. She said, " Uhhh, I don't have time for a tour I'm in a class." The employee kindly smiled at her and said I'm doing the tour. The other employee, obviously annoyed, rolled her eyes and shut the door. That same employee then proceeded to open the door and watched us do the tour the whole rest of the time and wasn't even watching the kids in the class. There was another girl in there but while we were doing the tour she was on her cell phone in the room and a little girl kept trying to get her attention and she finally rolled a car on the table for her. If this is how they act in-front of a potential client I absolutely do not trust my child attending here, surveillance rooms, or not. Have some pride and sense of worth for the job you're doing and treat each other better than that. Maybe just having a bad day but still wasn't a good first impression.

I'll start by saying, do not send your kids here. I have worked with kids my whole life in various settings (camp counselor, daycare, coach, teacher, therapist, and now a mom myself). I've been able to observe the classroom at this daycare and seen the environment that these kids work in (Preschool class in particular) and not only are the conditions dangerous and messy but the teacher does not do one thing about it. There is no structure, no consistent diaper changes, kids ask for water and they will put it off for more than 30 minutes to get it to them, toys scattered throughout the room while kids are able to run around and scream, and kids are constantly fighting with no adult intervention (therefore a lot of kids are getting hurt either from each other or scattered toys on the ground). I've observed that this place is more of a babysitting place instead of daycare/school. They don't engage in any learning activities nor social activities other than artwork once a day that is again not exactly lead by the adult all the time. There is little actual intervention from the teacher, she just lets the kids do whatever it is they want to do. Kids are constantly running around and screaming and fighting and she does not protect them. Do not send your kids here. I hope this facility makes some positive changes for those parents that don't quite know the horrors of this daycare.

Do not recommend this place. If you plan on touring this place please make sure to actually walk into the class rooms to look at the conditions. This place isn't run by a good team, management is terrible. My 8 year old was only the for a month or two before I pulled him out because I made a complaint about the teacher to management and she did nothing about it, my son came home told me they talked about me all day and laughed that they never get in trouble. My cousins kids use to also go here but they threw them out the same day WITHOUT a 2 weeks notice and have her spot to other people. she ended up losing her job. Please beware of this place and the people in the office.
