Definitely not recommended I found this place on social media and was planning on touring the daycare but soon after speaking with the director I felt so uncomfortable I’m not even going at this point it’s like playing phone tag but when you ask a question they lie about it and then you speak to somebody else and the truth comes out, like I said I planned on going and meeting with them and seeing, first time I spoke to the director she said all good things nothing alarming or concerning until she said they’ve not had any issues or incidents in the past 6 months and then kinda said yeah there’s always people trying to make things worst then they are so again I was like eeehh ok, called back again this morning and she completely disregarded what I asked and said she’d call back after a meeting so I waiting a couple hours and no call back so I called and spoke to another girl she was very transparent and didn’t try to make it seem so grand, she then informed me everything the Director told me isn’t true, the cameras arnt even working right now so from what the other one said is they only do live feed that’s a difference already, then she confirmed there was something recently happened or something along them lines and again why would the director even lie to a parent in the first place. Yeah I told her have the lady call me to be fully transparent but at this point I’m not wasting my time if they can’t be honest and not lie about actual problems.

Considering the former reviews I was skeptical, but so far so good.Staff is friendly. They do a lot of summer activities with the kids for the summer program, which I’ve never experienced at any childcare for my children. Multiple teachers per room. It’s an older building, but clean and welcoming.My toddler is not very good with change so I was super nervous about having to switch her to a new school. To my surprise she goes in everyday with no problems. I think that is a good sign. At her old school, she would cry every single morning.So far the only downside is having to pay the first and last week tuition, plus registration fee at enrollment.This childcare feels “homie” and cozy. I feel like children really matter here.

This school has teachers that are disrespectful to children. The supervisors upholds teachers in the wrong. Children should not be talked down to by an adult at anytime. 10years ago is was a wonderful place to send your children. Now it's a nightmare. Your children are not protected their treated poorly. You should be able to send the to school for an education. Sad to say but but they need to revamp and start over with respectable teachers.

My daughter had a hard time adjusting into a school structure when she first enrolled, but everyone at Joyland made her feel so comfortable and loved it wasn't long she was more than happy to go to daycare. That was over three years ago and now she's about the graduate the Pre-K program and they still show her the same amount of love everyday. Everyone there is so amazing and I know my daughter will miss them dearly next year. They have done amazing at making sure the kids are ahead of curriculum and prepared for each new year.

Joy land is so unprofessional and there are a teachers there that will literally argue and offend little kids for their own pleasure!!..I was disgusted to hear about my nieces experience with a teacher telling her that her style was ugly!! This place needs to have new teachers and even a new head administrators. Please let this place be your last result or not an option at all. Black kids are not treated the same.

Words alone can’t even explain how horrific, disgusting, unprofessional, and awful this place is and how it’s run. If I could give this place negative stars it would receive over a million of them. Let’s just say legal action will be taken. I was there with my best friend to pick up her son, when he came storming out, crying, in pain, scared, emotional and physically damaged from an incident that happened from another child in the school due to negligence of the workers not paying attention to the children or watching them like they are getting paid to do, and allowing something this horrific happen to my best friends child. This is disgusting in all counts and the only thing the school says is “ there’s nothing we can do “ we can’t provide information “ absolutely unacceptable and not ok, have someone bully and hurt your child due to your negligence and have the audacity to not take responsibility or ownership of the issues that happened on your property during your supervision is outrageous. They want to wash their hands of it and have nothing to do with it or care the least bit, and allow another child to injure another child and bully him under their supervision and what they care getting paid to do, which is watch and protect. They have failed miserably at both, and rest assured this is far far far from over, legal action will be taken as well as this will be going public everywhere. Hopefully they will lose their license and business as is already failed with the horrific staff who’s running it.

Do not trust joy land with your children! My beautiful baby came home with multiple infections in the 1st 2 weeks that she started going to joy land. At 1st I thought this was normal because all kids get sick at day care it's how they're immune system gets built. but after the 3rd doctor's visit I was no longer convinced that this was normal. I walked in on the teacher not watching my child and other children, but playing on her iPad while my daughter was on the floor crying and a toddler was crawling on top of a seemingly newborn infant. At this point I literally had to step in and do this teacher's job and pick the toddler up off of the 2 month old infant. I asked to review the tapes and they did not let me see them, claiming that it was for the protection and privacy of the other children which I understand. The last and final straw was when there were signs of abuse on my daughter that I had never seen in my life.Throughout our experience with joy land my daughter came home with poop stuck in her diaper from not being cleaned properly, As well as cross contamination giving her multiple yeast infections while she was there. When I say cross contamination I mean someone changing another baby's diaper, not washing their hands, and then changing my daughter's diaper.The director insists that she didn't see any abuse or neglect on the camera while at the same time not telling me the correct order of events from when I was there. On multiple occasions I showed up to find the formula and jarred food I left for her untouched. They also promised to give me a sheet of paper listing off what she ate and drank all day as well as her bowel movements and in the total 2 weeks that she was there I only received 2 sheets of paper. No one would communicate between shifts and it resulted in my daughters deteriorating health.Out of the 4 weeks I paid for they insisted on refunding me for 2 weeks. How was it really intrested in the money although it was a nice gesture from the director I just wanted that night shift lady to be removed and when I got back and found out she still worked there I was furious and still am. I'm considering reporting them for neglect but I'm not sure Because it's clearly not every staff member it was just a select few. This isn't cattle or products they are dealing with. its our precious children and they definitely need to be way more on top of things then they were when I had my daughter there. I have since found a much better day care that has a much more organized system for the employees and the children.

I am 18 now, and I recently was going through my closet when I found my old photos when my parents put me in this pre-k when I was around 4 years old. I vividly remember all the children bullying me here and the TWO teachers not saying anything to them. The girls would kick me and lie to the teachers about me hitting them and the teachers would always punish me by isolating me from other children. I clearly remember this one time I told them a kid had bullied me and all the teacher told me was to "shut up and sit down". I don't know if its any better now, that was about 14 years ago (there are some recent reviews here that are bad, so consider that as well). Those memories have always stayed with me and this place made me grow up with many mental issues that included not knowing how to interact with children growing up and having very severe anxiety around others. I still deal with the anxiety to this day. I never had one good memory from here, the teachers would never pay attention to me. Please beware and take your child to a good pre-k to prevent them from mistreatment.

Ms.Pam was amazing in the 3 year old class. My son attended for 1 month and it was an horrible experience. My sons blanket was taken from him and given to another child for nap time. He waa stung by a bee and i found out 3 days later. When I asked why i wasnt informed of this the lady at the front desk didnt even know it happened and then proceeded to lecture me on checking my child's cubby every day. When i brought up the fact that she called me about him bumping his head she just shrugged her shoulders. The owner implied that i was a bad mother bc my son was there all day. Im a single mom n i work 12 hour shifts 6 days a week. I dont have the luxury of being able to only work 8 hours. There was also an incident of where my son hit another child only after that child hit my son first. Instead of disciplining BOTH children they sat my son in time out and when he wouldn't stop crying THE OWNER GRABBED MY SON OUT OF CLASS AND SAT HIM IN THE OFFICE. NEVER ONCE WAS I CALLED ABOUT THAT EITHER. I believe the 2 in the front office are racist. They pegged my son as the bad little black kid from the jump. They never had a discussion or conference with me but instead would tell me he has behavioral issues. BECAUSE HE HIT A KID AND CRIED WHEN HE WAS PUT IN TIME OUT. That's normal 3 year old actions. Doeasnt make it acceptable but that's what 3 year olds do. Horrible daycare. And im a preschool teacher myself for the past 6 years. Never have i ever had such a horrible experience at a daycare. But hey if ur child is white and perfect this is the daycare for you!
