My baby is in the Lambs at a different CC. CC promises lower ratios. However when I drop of my baby, the ratios are always over. It seems as though everyday there are multiple babies crying because they need fed/cared for. But the teachers are too busy with other babies to attend to all of their needs. It is really hard and sad to walk in and see this poor little boy crying his head off because he's hungry and the staff is too busy to feed him! I was there for at least 15 minutes and this poor little boy was not even picked up to make him feel better. Is that how you want your hungry child treated???? My baby does not cry often, so rather is left in a swing or crib without any attention because he/she does not cry out for it! A baby needs stimulation. Adults who respond to infant signals and needs build infants' self-esteem and physical and cognitive abilities. Also, This facility has trouble keeping track of my baby?s day, his diapers, pacifiers, naps, bottles, EVERYTHING. And its amazing how when I ask a question, no one seems to know! This can be VERY frustrating! I dont want my baby wearing community diapers that are 2 sizes too small because the staff is incapable of keeping track of things that are clearly labeled.\r
With the ratios being off this leaves children left in swings too long, being left in cribs long after waking up, or before they are even sleepy and They are left upset and hungry, or even just lonely for far too long! Babies also need a constant change of scenery to stimulate their minds. Quality and frequency of adult-child interactions are critical variables in infant care. As a mother I want to know the staff is doing everything they can to make sure my baby is happy and satisfied! \r
The center director seemed genuinely concerned with issues, however she does not seem to stay on top of the issue afterwards, to make sure everything stays top notch. As with any parent, I would like to have piece of mind when my child is there. As of now, I don't.
Pros: Director, Positive Potenial, Homely Feeling
Cons: Ratios not followed, Parking, Security, Daily sheets, Cleanlyness, Interaction is Poor
