This is a wonderful program, one of our city’s best-kept secrets. Children thrive in an optimal setting for growth, learning, and exploration. There is warmth, love, safety, and affirmation. It is hard to find an unhappy kid in this school. Anyone who is closely associated with it shares a great deal of pride and joy in what they see—especially the children.

The review from 9/09 appears to be from a former employee at RECP. As a parent whose daughter has been enrolled there since 12/05, I am offended by the review, and am relieved that an employee with this degree of anger and selfishness was recognized by the Administrators and fired.

To all parents in need of daycare for their children, RECP has been a wonderful experience for my daughter and now for my son, who started last year as a 1 year old. From my experience, the teachers there truly adore the children and are always kind and affectionate with them. Your child receives an education there that is a great jump start for kindergarten and I highly recommend it.

Where should I begin? I can start with the administration. First and far most Barbara Argote, doesn't know how to run a center if her life depended on it. Cida Lancaster is rude. She talks to staff and parents any kind of way, she shows favoritism towards some staff members(Keefa Bell especially) and some students. I have reasons to believe that Cida doesn't like bi-racial kids nor there parents. Thersea she's a very messy and fake woman. She's always in students and staff members files, so if you tell her something personal be prepared for others to know also. Now its down to the teachers.There are some who I've been told that while your child is on the changing table he/she is getting slapped on the leg or even pinched and the cameras don't pick that up. There's other teachers who I've seen myself that are pulling on the kids or even snatching them. I've been told plenty stories on Keefa Bell(infant II teacher), where should I begin? I've heard stories to where she shouldn't even be working around children in a daycare period. Keefa Bell has started several arguments with other staff members, had a fight inside of Rayne with a previous employee, locked kids in closets, smacked kids, pinched kids, give the kids bottles in bed, and what I've been told trust me the list goes on. Some of the staff members aren't even certified teachers and they don't know how to talk some of them come off as ignorant. Who wants there child's teacher to be elirate. However, teachers wise I would give the few good one's 30% out of 100%. So parents be aware go home and talk to your kids and please do pop up visits because this place isn't what it seems to be.

The negative comments from previous postings are from a disgruntled former employee who was discharged for performance reasons and is now seeking to retaliate by making false and malicious allegations designed to harm the school. For many years Rayne Early Childhood Program has provided a nurturing environment for the care and education of young children and enjoys a place of trust and respect in the community.

Rayne Early Childhood Program provides a nurturing and caring atmosphere for children; I would know since I have been part of the program since 2002. The teachers are kind and loving and provide early childhood experiences and educational activities that are fun! My children have never come home upset because of unsavory or inappropriate behavior on the part of the teachers. My children love their teachers! The Program is a wonderful community for both parents and children. Parents, don't let the postings of a disgruntled former employee cloud your judgment about Rayne; visit the center for yourself to see the happy children and caring teachers. This program is solid!
