I spoke with an employee named Catalina today. We *were going to send our daughter there until I spoke with this employee. I asked for the manager in hopes to get a tour. She said she would be in tomorrow. I asked if I could leave the manager a message to call me tomorrow to schedule a tour. She told me no! I said can I PLEASE leave my name and number for her to call me. She got my name (after I told her) and she said bye. I asked her if she needed my number and she said “it’s on the caller ID.” First impressions are key, and based on this experience for a RUDE EMPLOYEE who would have been possibly watching my child to act so unprofessional and rude is disturbing. No way will I bring my child there. It scares me that someone like this is actually caring for children. I hope Amanda (if that is indeed the managers name from Catalina) does some deep digging and hardcore evaluations of there care givers asap.

Happy Parent Feb 16, 2020
I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I've been with this center for over 6 years. My child started in the 3 year old classroom all the way to the afterschool program. My other child started at 6 weeks old to now into the present. I love everything about this center. My children have learned so much. My youngest is succeeding in their Early PreK classroom. She learned to write 2 letters of her name and she's only 3! My oldest gets help with her school work when she's in their care for after school. This center has been a blessing! Their teachers are caring, loving, and encourage my children to be the best they can be.

Previous worker Mar 11, 2018

The main site director is rude, uncaring,ignorant,sorry person to be called a director. Talks about staff members/parent's, unprofessional. She'll say and do what she can to get you fired if she doesnt like you. Pre-Kids arent learning anything, just another childcare/babysitting job.
