I previously posted my initial review, listed below, on 02/19/2007 under dcedeno. I pulled up the listing to show a friend the information on the school, as a referral, when we came across the review stating they do not care for blacks. I immediately became infuriated by the allegation. It's funny because I feel like I am defending family! I had to create a separate Citysearch account to post my second comment! My son Sean has been attending the school since he was 9 months old and he has now begun his first year of kindergarten, in which Dale Sikes drops him off and picks him up before and after school. (Just another example of how great they are!) Sean is a beautiful mix of two minorities. I, his mother, am Puerto Rican, and his father is black. Although he is a well educated & upstanding black man, he has the braids, the baggy pants, and the stereotypical "hip hop" persona that is commonly discriminated against. He and the all staff, including Ms. Mickey and Mrs. Sikes get along great. They laugh, joke, and talk with each other everyday. They are constantly complimenting him on what a great dad he is. The staff there is a good mix of Blacks, Whites, and Hispanics. He and I love them all as they love the children they care for. The student population is also an assortment of everyday America. Blacks, Whites, Hispanics, Asians, you name the race and it is a part of the student population, and can you believe that Mrs. Sikes knows them ALL by name!?! I just had another baby and I can't wait until he is old enough to attend the school! Please, next time you post something, be sure to have all the proper information!
Pros: The Pros are to long to list, but the best thing is the feeling of relief knowing your children are in a loving and safe environment.
Cons: NONE!

After visiting 6 - 8 daycares looking for a place for my granddaughter, nothing compared to Dale Sikes Day School! My 2 year old granddaughter used to cry every time I would drop her off at her old daycare, now she looks forward to going to school. The teachers are loving and greet and hug her when she arrives. Each morning she has something waiting for her to do and she is excited to be there. The aromas of the home cooked meals fill the air - it always smells so good, not like most daycares at all. They have a huge playground in a well shaded lot - if you have seen other daycares you know many of them have only a small concrete pad with a few plastic playthings for the kids to play with very little shelter from the sun. We had to wait several months to get in but it was well worth the wait. Wouldn't change a thing!
