My child was sick from the third day he began this daycare. Which according to the owner, can’t possibly by any fault of their own. My son’s face was filthy every day I picked him up, his diaper was full. The infant area is crowded and small. 8 infants in a gated off corner of a room. My son was bitten 3 times and had an unexplained busted lip all within two months. Would not recommend.
