La Palma Peppertree Preschool

Irma (the owner) is so cold as a person. She completely rubs me the wrong way about having my daughter there. It's almost as if she's giving us a hint that we're not paying her enough to deal with our child. She's constantly questioning about my daughter's eczema as if we aren't taking care of our baby at home. It's really offensive! She pushes us to bring Benadryl for our daughter to knock her out during the day - to make it easier for her, no doubt! I wanted to punch her in the face when she said that. We do NOT drug our children for our own benefit, who does she think she is?!?

The staff look miserable working there! Ms. Christine is a lovely woman who seems almost forced to smile everyday. Ms. Arlene is an angel who knows and understands my daughter's eczema problem and cares so well for her. I dont know the names of the other teachers but everytime I show up, they're always yelling at the kids and never a smile on their face when I greet them "hello" or "good morning". I don't blame them, if I had to work for Irma - I'd be miserable too! She's a cold hearted dictator who just wants money! I'm surprised this facility has lasted as long as it did, with all the violations it has.

Do yourself a favor and stay away from this place. If you have a 2+ year old, there are better options out there for yoU! If you have an infant / toddler, you're better off paying a little more to enroll your baby in places like Kindercare - they take such great care of the babies.
