The Kingdom Kids LLC Diaz

"I was very apprehensive on sending my little boy to prek he had never been with anyone but family. But I met the owner of kingdom kids and it was like talking to a sister or best friend. My son loved it there and the safety was top notch. I can not say enough to good about this place"

"She is great, gave me opportunities."

"Crystina Diaz is an amazing person and runs a tight operation. Thank you, Crystina, for being a safe and quality space for our youngest children."

"I didn't get my son enrolled there but when I did speak with Mrs Diaz she was very pleasant and welcoming"

"Great care, clean and loving environment!"

"When I first stated at this childcare facility, I was amazed. There were only about 10 children enrolled at the time, but they were all incredibly well-behaved, structured, & had great manners. They respected the facility director (Crystal Diaz) & she was wonderful with them. The parents loved & trusted her as well. One of the most impressive aspects of the facility was the overall cleanliness standard that she made sure to maintain.
I worked at this here for barely a month before an altercation with the facility director left me questioning the safety of the children in her care. After I started (originally part-time), I began noticing a few minor red flags here & there, but nothing worth mentioning. For example, the director showed visible favoritism towards the more well-behaved children & had significant less patience & compassion for the “troublemakers”. I had one child (4 year old boy) directly ask me, “Why doesn’t Miss Tina like me?”. Another minor red flag I saw early on were the frequent grammar/spelling errors in the newsletters sent home to parents. I offered to proofread before she printed them & was met with hostility.
There were very few scenarios where I was genuinely able to voice my concerns with her, but none of those instances included my concerns with her specifically. Each time I had questions or concerns, I had to gauge her mood before truly speaking to her or I was met with hostility & annoyance. After a couple weeks, I was opening & closing the facility five days a week, creating lesson plans, scheduling & leading all the activities, serving all meals & snacks, etc. On the day I was supposed to have my one month employee review, her only other employee (who was heavily pregnant) had called in, & it immediately put her in a bad mood. I had to basically avoid her all morning due to the hostility & sour attitude she had every time we spoke. By nap time, I had flat out asked her if we could have a conversation because I was uncomfortable with the fact that I couldn’t ask her basic questions. She quickly became defensive & began raising her voice in front of all the napping children. She stood up in front of me while I was still sitting calmly & displayed unacceptable behavior for a facility director in front of a room full of children. After seeing the way she was behaving, I said that this environment no longer matched my values & morals & that I would not be back after my shift that day. At this point she began screaming in my face to “get out of her facility”, I stopped engaging with her & began walking towards the exit. She was behind me yelling the entire time & slammed her hand on the door right next to my head to open it for me. I still did not engage. She yelled, “have a BLESSED day!” & slammed the door so hard I heard the windows shake in the frames. She had at least 5 napping children in her care who witnessed that entire incident. It broke my heart leaving that day, but I genuinely worried for my safety at that point. "

"I truly enjoyed working at Kingdom Kids under Mrs Diaz. Everything always ran so well and she was an extremely fair boss. She really knew how to make us all feel welcome and created a more family forward atmosphere, for both staff and clients."
