Children and teachers at risk

I had the worst possible experience with this place the daycare referred to is located in 426 Anton can wouw street, waterkloof Glen, Pretoria 0010

The owner Maryna stern is such a rude owner, she has no respect for the teachers at the school, she swears the teachers and tells them they are useless and the same with the office manager.

She asks her teachers to come in weekends for meetings and does not pay them over time for this, she throws things around in the classrooms at teachers.

They say every term the kids much bring 4 hand soaps, 24 toilet rolls and maybe other things like paper and she claims it is for the kids, meanwhile they use the things in the bathroom for the staff members.

They have a teacher by the name of Lewis who was fired for hitting a child and 3 weeks later Maryna called her to come back to the school.

The teachers pull the kids around and screams at them when they make a mistake or have an accident, there is ONE bathroom for the entire daycare and boys and girls in the 15months - 2 years class go to potty together, the rest of the kids use that one bathroom.

The kids barely have enough space to learn and sleep, in the bigger classes. The baby class has a very dirty carpet that smells horrible and if you look closely you see how dirty it is and it makes the kids very sick.

Every second day the kids eat the same food. She pays her staff between 4000 and 5500 and if the teachers have to go to the Dr or take off she deducts between 500-1500 for them not being there.

She gives teachers warnings for things they were not present for, but because they the head teachers they get the warnings.

The office manager Tiana fights with the teachers to carry her child around and give her child all their attention while the rest of the children has to be neglected.

The staff members mainly Tiana son can be at school if he is sick but other parents children gets denied eduction when they are sick.

The receptionists there are two gets paid at least 2k more than the teachers and Maryna banks big bucks for herself while not paying her teachers enough to survive.

When you ask her to see video footage at the school regarding an incident she refuses to sit with you and allow you to view it as she feels she doesn’t owe parents that and claims she will watch the footage and we just have to trust what she says and half the time does not even view the footage.

The standard of the school and the education is extremely bad and I would not recommend using this school
