It's often easy to find fault in a childcare center, however, Minimarc was so bad we quickly decided not to put our child there. Meg, the head teacher seemed put out that we asked questions about cleaning methods, and was very short when asked if there was a learning curriculum of any sort. She said the kids learned by playing outside or some such statement. Obviously didn't like being questioned about cleanliness or education in the center. Outside, a Chinese/Asian young female staff member was on her phone, maybe 6 times in 3-4 minutes, while playing a CD of some song to kids. When this was mentioned to Meg, Meg said staff updated an online system / pics the center had. As the staff member quickly put her phone in her pocket when Meg approached, and other behavior = obvious BS. Also, the island lady was supervising outside play on the gym type equipment with kids in nappies. She said it's my lunchtime and got up and left the kids there, didn't inform other teachers, or the kids, or anything. Meg was upset that I might point out or question or even criticize anything in the center and said the center suits some people and others leave. I asked why do other parents take their kids out, she said different reasons, but it probably wouldn't suit me. The center is an incorporated society, with voted in staff / management I believe, which may explain why they don't give a toss...
