Julie: I found this place on a website. I went to Lorie for in-home daycare after moving to the area, and it was one of the biggest mistakes I have made.
Child Care Review Pros and Cons
Pros: She has her house set up nice so it looks like she knows what she is doing.
Cons: She is incompetent and a scam.
Features and Comments
Features: She cares for multiple age kids. She won't give you money back after she backs out of the contract, so don't pay this lady!
Comments: On the 2nd day of my kids being there she called me because my 3 month old was crying unless she held him, and she didn't know what to do. He's a BABY in a brand new environment; give him some adjustment time!!!! She suggested I go back to my previous daycare for 2 weeks until her grade-school daughters were home to help her! RIDICULOUS! Then she wouldn't give me my $500 deposit back after I wasn't going to be bringing them back to her since she "couldn't handle it." I think she has the system down and her contract written just right so she can get away with making a bunch of money in a short period of time and then saying she can't handle the kids so they have to find a different BETTER daycare. I learned my lesson, and hope that nobody makes the same mistake as me. Spread the word, DO NOT USE THIS DAYCARE!
