Comment to the post posted by Concerned Mom. If they validated the teacher would have been charged with child abuse and would have NOT been able to be employeed by the child care center. These are the facts of the law which tells me your accusation is false. If that part of your comment is incorrect it's hard for me to believe the rest of your comment. My children have attended Traditions for the past 6 years & I have no complaints, neither do my children!

I have three children that have attended two of Traditions center's. They have fond memories of the teachers as well as time spent there.

I agree as a parent it's my responsibility to stop in unannounced and know who is caring for my children daily. When I have a question or concern, I ask.

I will continue to trust my decision, leaving my children in good hands at Traditions.

In response to the comments posted about Traditions Children's Center, I have much the opposite reaction to the 2 centers I have encountered. We started at 1 center and were very happy with everything from the director, to the classroom teacher my children had down to the girls that helped from the high school. They all knew my children and myself and always greeted me when I walked by them. We moved and had to change locations but have had nothing but good things to say about our new experience with Traditions.

We took our children here for 3 years and in retrospect we should have removed them long ago.

Traditions Children’s Center claims to staff mature, caring and experienced staff and to have your child’s best interests as their main priority.

This has not been our experience. I can tell you that our children were not treated well. One of our children reported he had been hit and called names by his teacher. We reported this to the director who only offered to move him to another room. We agreed but also followed up with DHS and the state licensing agency and they validated our son’s claim.

Tradition’s response was to terminate our contract with them and keep the teacher on staff.

Do you research. Stop in unannounced. Observe from your car when the children are outside at play. Call the state and ask questions. And most of all follow your instincts. Our experience has been that children are not safe here.
