It appears several past reviews for Yellow Brick Road in Minnetonka were deleted and removed from all sites. Our son was enrolled from when he was 4 months - 10 months in 2018. We had a TERRIBLE experience the entire time. The infant staff turnover rate was SO high, there was corruption with the site leadership, several ratio violations that multiple parents reported, safety concerns, and the center was hardly ever cleaned to the expectations the staff communicated to parents. In November 2018, the staff went on strike and upon drop off, there were over 20 infants in the center with only a couple staff - that is an extreme ratio violation. On multiple occasions when picking up our son, we noticed a baby would be bleeding, unattended to, or under the fridge in the room touching and playing with the electrical cord/outlets without teacher intervention. We never felt comfortable leaving our son there but had no option due to waitlists at all other centers near our home/work. Substitute staff were brought in who had no childcare experience (one staff member told us they were grocery store cashiers looking for additional work and not even with CPR training). We ultimately pulled our son and went without childcare for a couple months until we found our current center, TowerLight Childcare - which is EXTREMELY clean, well-run, organized, and virtually no staff turnover. I cannot say enough bad comments about YBR in Minnetonka.
