Mother Goose Children's Academy

If I had to be completely honest I DO NOT recommend this childcare. It's not the worse I have seen but it's pretty close. I only worked here for a few months and it was a total mess. The owner is only there a couple hours during the day and now that her children don't necessarily attend anymore (school age) she seems to have "given up". Rumors circulated that she was going to try selling it to the director. I worked with the 2 year olds and we had a four year old in our room with disabilities. I was pregnant and complained about this four year old still being in my room and not getting the actual help he needed. I was kicked in the stomach multiple times and she (the owner) seemed not to care. There was not a set curriculum for us to follow and had to go throughout the day making our own schedule which was fine but wasn't enforced like it should have. We had an employee who would vape in the bathrooms and after a few months she was finally fired. The rooms are not "clean" and even the blinds were ripped apart and wasn't replaced. My boyfriends father drove the van to take the special ed students to school and never was there a teacher there prepared with the child for pickup like they were supposed to which caused delay. I was afraid of my baby going here for the infant teachers kissed the babies and from time to time got breast milk swapped. There's also another teacher who works here who had a romantic affair with one of the fathers and it started a divorce with those parents. All in all it's not a professional business and needs work!

We have been taking our children here for the last few years. The staff has always been friendly and easy to work with when it comes to any issues or questions we've had about our children. They have always accommodated us whether it was special things we needed for the kids or ever-changing schedules as my husband and I both have to travel for work so pick up and drop off times vary for us. I have always found that the staff has been very caring with our children. My oldest is in school now and no longer goes but talks fondly about her time there and when she comes with me to pick her sister, she is always greeted so kindly by everyone who used to care for her while she was there.

My son loves it here. Barb is wonderful. She treats us like family and has been nothing but helpful to us. She even came to the rescue and personally gave me clothes and diapers when my home burnt down. She's extremely caring. The staff is super great with my son and he has learned so much during his time here.

To start off, I think the director is really nice and friendly. It's nice talking to her and how personable she is. Always greeted when I came in. Actually, some of the staffs were friendly. And some of the staffs weren't as personable. Like my child's care taker. She did not really greet my child good morning or smile at my child. The facility did not seem well kept and the daycare just seemed so sad. As a parent I want to assure my kid is well taken care of. I just got here in NE and got a job so I was rushing to get a daycare. A lot of the daycares I called were full, so I settled with this one. My child always had stains on the face going home (someone could've atleast wipe it off). Always cried when I dropped my child off to this place. Where as in the new day care, my child would walk in the facility without crying. And at this daycare, when I would pick my child up, I would see the kids watching TV and the staffs are gathered up in the table while the kids were on the carpet watching Cocomelon. I would like the staff to atleast entertain them and spend time with children instead of staying on the table hanging out.Some workers here doesn't fix their hair and look untidy. I mean how can you expect them to take care of your child when they don't even fix their hair? My child was there for about 6 weeks and we started looking around at other daycares and I have found some at the same price as this one. Near this day care, too! I would recommend looking around and weight your options first. It's my ch cleaner in other daycares and the staffs looked presentable. AND they spend time with the kids ( & kids learn too). I feel so guilty sending my child here. I know day cares are expensive but trust me, you will find day cares that are the same price or cheaper with better care for your kid.

The photos shown are not accurate. The daycare is dingy, not clean, and Barb the owner is rude. The kids run around not well supervised. The staff is unprofessional and talk about alcohol and partying frequently. The turn on loud music to drown out kids. My child was injured multiple times. On one occassion I was there, she was bleeding a d not one person offered help including Barb the owner who was 10 steps away.
