After being employed by Kids R Kids Oviedo for just over 30 days, I have a lot to say. First and foremost, the owners (Peter and Sharon Buxbaum) ae AWFUL people. I have never in my life worked for people like this. After you are hired, they will never speak a word to you, unless it is to degrade you. They do not say hello to employees, they do not give ANY positive reinforcement and the overall morale once they arrive- is in the dumps. EVERYONE who works there feels this way. It was so sad to see people treated this way. I did a fantastic job as their ‘cook’. I had meals and snacks prepared on time, I did everything I was asked, but it was never enough. Peter wants a robot slave. Someone who can do 12 hours’ worth of work, in 7 hours. I was degraded DAILY for trivial things- however the parents, staff and children all liked me and saw my worth, so I stayed. I developed relationships with the children; I went out of my way to make them happy and comfortable. I was loved. However that meant nothing to them, and I was still treated poorly. I reluctantly left my position because I no longer wished to be employed by people like this.

For the record- when they say they are serving your child ‘pizza’ for lunch, it’s just a hamburger bun topped with canned ketchup and cheese. They won’t spend money on pizza sauce or crusts, or heaven forbid a frozen pizza. Your grilled cheeses? They get ½ a sandwich which consists of 2 slices of white bread and ONE small piece of American cheese, doused in fake butter oil and baked. You chicken nuggets? Cheap frozen patties that I pulled FEATHERS from when dicing up, on more than one occasion. Your veggies? All served cold straight from the can. Don’t even get me started on safe food practices, temperatures, and refrigeration issues.

Oh and Ernie, the dog? He goes into food servicing areas every day. That’s super sanitary. He has also bitten a child and an employee- I witnessed the latter.

The staff here is a GODSEND. These teachers are angels. I made friends quickly and related to everyone. It was fun to work there with THEM. Sharon and Peter should thank God daily that they have good people in there, running that place day and night, making it the best we could with what we are given. It could be WAY worse; I was someone safe, loved, hardworking, EXTREMELY efficient and organized. If you choose to take your children here, to line their pockets even more, I would think again. Find someone who actually cares for the children and not just their bank account.

Not a disgruntled employee- I am thankful to have escaped- but I do feel parents should be aware of this hidden information. The staff turnover rate is SOOO high. There is a reason. I have pictures and videos of EVERYTHING.
