Quita's DayScare Center

Rate this book
Some daycare centers have your child s interest at heart...Quita s Daycare center is not one of them! Quita never pretended to run a professional center. So when her license gets revoked, after a spiteful parent complains to the Office of Child Care services, because her bad son Lil Goose was kicked out of the center, Quita feels relieved. Now she can offer cheap prices and beat the legal competition in her neighborhood. Out from up under the rules that O.C.C enforces, she crams twenty kids in a center built for eight. Her motto is, Pay the vig or watch your own kid. Although the center s conditions are unsavory, she brags about fat pockets and fly gear. But what happens when Cordon, the son of Flex, a well-known drug dealer, goes missing? She has to answer to him and her life, as well as the lives of her staff members, is threatened. Quita s DayScare Center introduces you to the worst parents in the world and their offspring. You've never read a book like this before we guarantee it! You'll think twice before you drop your kids off again. At least we hope so!

Quita had a lot to deal with caring for those kids...She was really a good person despite having a hunger for money. I wondered how she was able to keep a friendship as long as she did with Valencia. This was a great read filled with drama & a touch of humor. Highly recommended & I'm looking forward to reading part 2

A hustler in her own right, Quita has money on her mind and nothing will stop her from getting it.When she lands a job at a doctor office as head manger she is on her A game but doesn't know that her friend is setting up her life for destruction.

Hitting rock bottom after losing everything Quita,comes up with the idea to start her own daycare,taking in the baddest kids ever.She turns no child I'm talking bout the baddest of the baddest.

Whats happens when you make a promise you can't keep and your life is on the line only to find out that someone you care about the most is behind it all,pick up this banger and see.

Gina west did a good job with this story as you know there will be a part 2.I feel that towards the end it was a little rushed,but I still enjoyed the story line and the characters.This book will definitely have you laughing.

OMG...
This book right here....
OMG...

So yeah I wasn't going to start on part 2 until next month but I plan to go ahead and dive into it because part 1 left me wanting more. This is one of the few books I've read where I hated all of the characters just about except for a few of the kids. This had everything in it and I've never read a book like this before. I rode the bus while reading this and would bust out in laughter A LOT. I loved when the kids would cuss Quita out. I hated Valencia's guts!!! How can you get someone fired from their job and still try to be their friend? There was a lot of back stabbing in this and I wanted to punch Quita in her mouth. Some parts were extremely sad like the child abuse and Kimi getting raped. I look forward to reading more of Gina West.

The title definitely misled my thoughts on this book. I see how it ties but I wasn't thinking what I read was going to be how it was. Quita, bless her heart, sure did try her best to be a good person despite hitting some snags, her heart was in the right place. Them kids though! Make you want to get your tubes tied, clipped, burnt and buried!! I couldn't imagine ever running a daycare, I don't think I could make enough to put up with the disturbing situations that came up. I really liked the dialogue in the story, it pulled me in more so than reading long drawn out descriptions and background. The book was written pretty well, it was an easy read with some humor, scandal and disturbing behavior tossed in. I'll definitely read book 2.

Kids!!!

This book was a page turner from the beginning. Everyone had secrets nobody were really friends and nobody was who they say they were. Quita decided to open a daycare after losing her job at the doctors office. While taking in the worst of the worst kids for extra money was the beginning of the end. Book 2 is in my near future.

I can't wait til Quita's DayScare Center 2 drops. Those kids really started to work my nerves, until more details on their parents was presented. The Cartel Publications always drops awesome books and this one was of no exception.

This was one of the craziest books I have read for awhile. Quita had some of the worse children in her care with the craziest parents. I loved the book and couldn't put it down. Gina West did a top notch job. Highly recommend.

Whoa!!!

This was an interesting read. I enjoyed the story, especially the second half. The plot twist, starting with poor little Joshua's abuse and kidnapping, all the way to the last page, kept me engaged and ready to dive into book two!

" Quita's Dayscare Center" by Gina West was a rollercoaster of a ride! Filled with so many twists and turns, it is the story of Quita who, dealt with some unforseen circumstances, decides to open up her very own day care center. The kids at the center were off the chain! From Lil Goose all the way down to baby Axel, my blood pressure was truly rising,lol! Things seem to be going smoothly until Cordon, son of drug dealer Flex, goes missing, jeopardizing Quita's life.
Quita's Dayscare center was an awesome read and I can't wait for part 2. 5 stars!

I held on to this book for the longest. When I finally got around to reading it, I could have kicked myself for not starting it earlier. In the beginning, I thought it started off a bit slow, but then when it picked up, it had me going!! It was very fast paced and I couldn't wait to turn each page. T. Styles(oops I mean Gina West) LOL did her thing, and she never disappoints!!! I can't wait until Part 2!

This book went in a total different direction than I thought it was going. The characters are something!Valencia is so selfish and self-centered. Quita is kinda stuck on stupid when it comes to Valencia but she has a heart. The children in the daycare are some funny characters themselves. I enjoyed reading this book and now I'm on to part 2. The author really did a twist on the story near the end that draws you in and you just have to go on to the next book to see what will happen!

Quite has been fired from her job, and starts a daycare in order to fund her mother's nursing home bill. What started off as a daycare for misfits turned into a place of lies, deceit and most important...love. This book proved something I've always believed...if a child is acting out of the ordinary, there is normally something going on at home. My emotions were all over the place, but thank God for Quita!

Quita is the neighborhood babysitter who will watch the baddest of the baddest kids... for the right price. Bullies, crybabies, hoodlums Quita has them all! While her intentions were good, money hunger kept her from really being a property child care provider. Drama, beef with other childcare providers, & even a kidnapping kept from putting this book down on more than one occasion.
