This review is about the childcare at Flamingo. I went to this gym today to sign up for childcare and had a horrible experience. Mind you, this is based on just one experience I had, at 4pm on a Friday. But, I searched Yelp for other reviews about childcare and plenty of them
Also mention how horrible the care is at Flamingo compared to other locations.
Either people know how to take proper care of children or they don't. My 1 year old was hysterically crying from being separated from me for the first time when I went to go sign paperwork to sign up for the childcare, and the girl who took her from me had a complete lack of emotional response to my child and showed absolutely no skill, empathy, effort or ability at all to attempt to make her feel comfortable. She just sat there, holding her and staring at the wall. I will never leave my child there with her. One of the other girls there was also standoffish. I watched for a while because I wasn't going to leave my child like that.
I ended up taking back my child and leaving without signing up for yearly childcare. I said I would rather pay the $5 per child at various times at various locations before I sign up for $250 for that kind of care. Absolutely not. I was so disappointed. They did let me walk in there with my shoes on and I saw another mother walking through with shoes on. I think they should make u remove your shoes if they are going to try to claim it's clean and let kids run around in there only in socks.
I have been a member of LVAC for 15 years but did not attempt to use childcare until today. I was so disheartened.
Hire more people who are qualified to care for children and don't respond to me with some diplomatic email from your staff. I don't want to hear it. I understand it's cheap childcare but you can't hire just anyone to care for children. There are plenty of people out there who have a knack for working with children at all levels of experience.
