My children went to Children's Corner for years and now my grandchild does. When I saw the neg. reviews I asked the owners what was going on. They told me that some vindictive people were not happy because we asked them to leave because of aggressive behavior or for turning them over to collections. I would highly recommend Children's Corner. ...read more

Teachers are great. Management is terrible. The Director and her mother are nasty to deal with. Bob is great. Overall the place is kid oriented which is what attracted us to the program. I was upfront with them about the developmental delays my son was struggling with and we were welcomed in. Only to find out later, without warning, and greatly exaggerated that our son was not welcome. They did not make any attempt to work on the behavioral issues with us, even though it was disclosed up front. Instead they would send staff home if the class wasn't full by 10:00; money grubbing. The program should work out if you have a well behaved little girl. Good luck if you have an energetic boy, they don't seem to be welcome and you will get booted to the curb without any chance to find replacement child care. ...read more

My daughter (6 yrs) has been attending The Learning Tree daycare for about 20 months. I chose the daycare because there were limited options in the area. Over the almost 2 years she has been attending the daycare, I have noticed the staff become less caring for the children as well as the parents. I have witnessed the teachers regularly yelling and disrespecting the children. The facility participates in the federal food program which is a very valuable option for those who need it. However, if your child does not want to eat the food, the staff still requires them to take the plate and then throw the food away. This is definitely not a habit I want my child to learn. When I brought my concerns up with the director (Bethany), I received very little understanding and a comment "You can choose another daycare or you can take your child directly to school" (to avoid the required breakfast). Neither one an option for my work schedule and the school my daughter is attending. Recently I received a call from the director threatening to not pick up my daughter from school because I failed to pay the week tuition for Christmas week (she only attended 2.5 days of the week) and quite honestly it slipped my mind. If she had reviewed my account, she would have realized I always pay on time and often early. Instead of a threat to pay over the phone, a polite call would have been appreciated. The lack of respect starts at the front desk and spreads through the facility to 70% of the teachers my daughter has been involved with (or I have witnessed while walking to her classroom). Sure there are a few who are sweet and caring towards my daughter but not enough in my opinion. If you are seeking a daycare in the Murray/Millcreek area, you will probably be in the same predicament I was in. There just aren't enough childcare facilities. Please take my experience into consideration. ...read more
