This daycare is very unprofessional. They cut my grandson's hair, allowed other children to drink out his bottle. Used other children wipes on him when we provided everything he needed. He came home with rug burns on his knees. Teachers used his bib as a door jam and 1 teacher asked were we that hard up for a bib. WOW! On top of that she stated he didn't need a bib no way. We were never given a report of what or when he ate, diaper got changed. No reading no activities ever being displayed. It was just disgusting. He was there for a 1mo 5hr a day 3 days a week. Because Im sure he wasnt getting proper care. No security what so ever. I never was asked who I was nor signed in or out. They always had too many children to teacher ratio. I helped a teacher in the building pushing a wagon with 8kids inside. 1 child's arm was smashed between the door and wagon. Im yelling at the teacher her arm she kept forcing it until I grabbed the baby. Not once did she apologize nor did she examine the baby's arm. It is hard enough for mothers to trust people around their children, but to have centers with no compassion nor a care is the WORST! I did remove my grandson. I keep him home now.

Unknowing to me, With the Director of early education being pregnant,Roxanne Coleman. Now. I know why she operated the way she did in the Summer of 2023.! Like every knew mother we try and make the best opportunities for our child land into their lives, We try and get a village that supports ourselves but most importantly our kid(s) . Ms. Roxanne’s self centered and all she could do was boast every chance she could to me and new staff on board about that within a year, the things she has done to revive the PAL-Wilmington. All by herself, no help, etc. Granted, that is fine to say but imagine working around someone like this and there are several other people involved in what they call their “chain of command” . You don’t do ANYTHING ALONE!!!! She is arrogant and from the looks of what I had noticed it was nothing to brag about. Cool it’s a park across the street. She played ball, her son does, so that is the most her Face is good for , inside and outside of the PAl center. But the children need better than just the random basketball opportunities the PAL offers them…..that’s all these reviews say!!! “I can send my kid in there they can play ball.” Okay, but what else does it offer? What enrichment has affectively enhanced our children’s lives FORREAL? But anyway, She was in the midst of having the infant room bombed (rat poop was all over) and also while my child attended the infant to 1 program it was being redecorated (she was pregnant all that was was for her unborn child) She wasn’t there for those children. Once I had noticed that, I knew this facility was basing its foundation on the wrong things. It should be based on teachers needs , students needs, campers etc. Over faculty even the Janitors were spoken to crazy. For the entire summer of 2023, the babies infant to one were not taught a thing but a baby shark video. Tablets slid into rooms with shows……Ms.Roxanne would tell staff to keep my son and myself seperated from each other which was crazy because of how that had even became a thing…I’d tried to give the kids screen time for 20 minutes before lunch and she got in me about it. In the rooms next to me they’d played what they wanted and when they’d wanted. There was no talking to her. Her infant to one staff…..They spent the mornings breaking each other more than focusing on the children let alone individual qualities just Hearding them like sheep(3 workers in and out of the children’s space and youth kids, one is an older women volunteer helper, 1 is an older women ( E…..infant caregiver) while the other an actual 1year teacher. (all ages mixed in). Changing diapers, singing random songs out loud, hearing the kids around this random room, outside for a wagon ride and then to the gym, etc. but no enrichment toward and or for the babies (I had to push for the babies to be read to fortunately a new worker Ms. Shenetta had began doing that with my son after seeing me read so much to my two’s 3&4 weren’t even being read to…but anyway ). Gym time…. Let me had been in the gym, now my son is being wheeled back into a room. They don’t want him to see me they don’t want him in the gym with me. Etc. you’d think a schedule would be shown. No they just take my child’s gym time

DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE! There is always an excuse if you as a parent question the treatment or lack of care your child received while there. Staff to student ratio is ALWAYS off. I witnessed 1 staff with 20+ kids ranging in age from 1yr- 14yrs for 2hrs. The while time the youngest children were strapped into a stroller the entire time. This place is HORRIBLE I wouldn't leave a fly there. Once you complain or ask questions they take it out on your kids. The executive director or early childhood director are never in until mid day and never really know what's going on but will say/do anythingbto cover up that they were not there to supervise staff.

Mr. Miller is always very nice, the facilities are clean, and the staff is very open to scheduling events.
