I WAS HIRED TO BE A TEACHERS ASSISTANT...THEY NEVER EVEN LOOKED AT MY STATE I.D. OR ASKED FOR MY S.S. # TO DO A BACKGROUND CHECK!!! THEY DONT CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THESE CHILDREN!! (LUCKILY IM A GOOD PERSON!!) THEY MADE ME WORK 10 HR DAYS AND AFTER FOUR DAYS OF WORKING THERE WHEN I GOT PAID IT WAS ONLY FOR $5 AN HOUR!! I OFCOURSE I QUIT! (THEY LIED ABOUT THE PROGRAM AND THE PAY) THEY PUT 25 AND MORE KIDS IN A ROOM WITH JUST ONE "TEACHER" AND SOMETIMES AN ASSISTANT AND ITS WAY TOO HARD TO TEACH, PLAY AND CONTROL THAT MANY CHILDREN..ESPECIALLY BETWEEN THE AGES OF 2-6 ALL IN ONE ROOM! IVE SEEN ASSISANTS/HELPERS JUST WALK OUT OF THAT PLACE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY! THEY LADY WHO RUNS IT IS ALL TALK AND CANNOT BE TRUSTED!!! THERE IS NO STRUCTURE! DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE OR WORK HERE!!!!!!‎

My two year old daughter attended this school for 2 months and to date I am still paying for the consequences. I noticed that after two weeks my daughter began to lose weight. When I asked the director about it she told me that my daughter refused to eat the lunch there, therefore I packed her own lunch. But everyday her lunch would still be in her bookbag untouched. They never asked me for diapers which is strange because my daughter wasn't potty trained yet. Furthermore, my daughter started to develop weird ailments and health problems that caused her to be hospitalized. When I confronted them about her health problems and asked why didn't they call me while I was a work when she had a fever of 103, I just got a blank stare. My daughter was under their care for three and 1/2 hours...which means they didn't interact with her at all to notice hear teary eyes, runny nose and a temperature of 103! After that day I took her out of the school and never looked back. I can't believe this place was open for so many years even after sexual molestation charges, substantiated complaints from the City and parents. I don't know what disgusted me the most, the lack of care provided by this school or the fact that an ex-employee advised me that they would share utensils because they did not have enough spoons for the kids. Guess that explains why my daughter ended up with five open sores inside her mouth. Thank you Oakdale for ruining our lives and not feeling an ounce of remorse for it. The staff at the Victory Blvd. location are a bunch of cowards for not stepping forward to defend the little girl that got molested there or for speaking up when they knew things were not right. I have integrity, I would not turn a blind eye to such horrors for a minimum wage paycheck. If you don't like children, then rethink your career instead of mistreating our children!

I had the displeasure of working for this place for a short time. They are BAD NEWS. I was not fired, but quit voluntarily after just a few days there, because it was absolutely appalling how they treated these children. ...

After veiwing many schools in action all unannounced I decided to go with Oakdale as it offers the best of all worlds. they have beeen in business longer than anyone on the island and they have had the smae administrationn for over 24 yers-- that speaks volumes to me of dedication
It shows in all they do
