Shepherd’s Promise Child Care

My child went there for a year. It was not until the last month that they started handing out daily activity sheets (what they ate, when they slept, what they learned). I’ve found out since that this is a very standard practice at all reputable daycares. You may find reviews of them on other sites… it is because they pay their customers to write good reviews of them (credit off your bill)…don’t you want a place that gets good reviews solely on their merit and not «buying» good reviews???
But probably the most disturbing thing is their leadership, or lack of. Most of the teachers were great people, but they were not put in a position to be successful. They lacked any kind of structured curriculum whatsoever and on multiple points operated to the «state minimums». I got to a point where I felt guilty taking my child there, and after being treated rudely by the administration for the last time I took my business elsewhere.
One last note. They put a LOT of kids in a very small space because they are only concerned about the bottom line (and thus pay their staff very meagerly… hence the extremely excessive turnover). Consistency of who my child’s teacher is is very important and they moved around and turned over so quickly that I hardly knew the first name of the «teachers» in the room from day to day.
Spend a little bit more and go somewhere else. If they can’t put enough resources in to properly training and equipping their staff, then you can bet it’s your child that is going to suffer (no one else).
