Safe N Sound has some really good attributes as well as some opportunities. Opportunities: They shuffle kids around from room to room to max out ratios, which leaves those kids with zero consistency. Our three-year-old has been going there for a couple of months, but she cries regularly because her teacher was mean to her. I walked in to bring extra clothes for my daughter for picture day. She was sitting by herself, visibly upset. I asked her what was wrong, and she said another child hit her. I walked her over to that child and told my daughter to tell her how that made her feel. There were three teachers in the room, one of whom was sitting RIGHT next to the little girl in question, reading a story. I said to my daughter, «tell her how her hitting you made you feel» but the little girl wasn’t paying attention because she was listening to the story, and the teacher NEVERSTOPPEDREADING! She never acknowledged my daughter, but instead just kept reading the story! I couldn’t believe it! I have also heard her main teacher raise her voice, which only escalates situations with 2 and 3 year olds. They are also extremely rigid with their rules. If you try to drop your child off after 10am, they won’t let you — even if you’re 1 minute late! They have a sign they put on the computer at 10am, and I’ve seen the front desk person literally waiting by the computer for 10:01 to roll around. They’re very inflexible and will charge you extra for every little thing. $ 2/minute if you’re late or your child is there more than 10 hours; $ 5/day if you forget bedding or your child doesn’t have a change of clothes. And they are EXTREMELY inflexible with these riles. The food is also not the best. One time, I dropped in at lunch time, and the food they were serving could only be described as slop. My daughter wouldn’t touch it, and I can’t say that I blame her! Positives: Their playground is THE best of all the daycares we’ve looked at, and I like that they have a bathroom outside if kids need to go while out there. They are really inexpensive for all that they provide, but if you’re not careful, you can get hit hard with the extra fees for all the little things. Overall, this may be a good choice for some families, but it’s not for ours.
