COA, Ellicott City is AMAZING!! The staff are very caring and do a fabulous job! All 3 of our kids have LOVED going there! :)

We HATED this daycare from day 1. I regret putting my son through this experience. Here's why you should avoid this center:



-CURSING: After dropping my son off in one of the infant rooms, I went back 10 minutes later to sneak a peek through the window to see if he wasn't crying anymore. Not only was he still crying, but I overheard the teachers cursing (F word, and H word)! After telling the director what happened, she said the teachers claimed they didn't. So I guess she was calling me a liar?



-NO TLC: My son had just started and I was hoping they would offer a little TLC since he was brand new to the daycare scene. Instead, I see on the video surveillance that they left him sitting at the table, unstrapped, crying, no food/drink, and trying to get out from the seat. The teachers weren't even sitting with him at the table, they were pretty much ignoring him. My mother saw this and decided to pick him up early; by the time she got there, he was still at the table crying, and she discovered he had a dirty diaper!



-TURNOVER: The director left with no explanation on our first day. Tanya got promoted to director - she's nice, but isn't ever positive/confident when answering questions. A couple of teachers had put in their two weeks notice. Teachers seem to rotate frequently throughout the day. My son had to deal with about 5 teachers in one day.



-YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR: We were lured in with the really attractive, low tuition. BIG MISTAKE!
