I have used this provider for more than 6 months

We have been with childcare network for over a year now, and I will be honest, we were getting ready to pull our grandson out. The atmosphere prior to Mrs. Emily taking over was horrible, ALL of the teachers were and still remain AMAZING and they worked under some really tough circumstances and improper guidance from the main coordinator, Once MRS Emily took over it didn't take any time at all to see and feel that she was a perfect fit, The kids are busy, and engaged in projects daily, the teachers don't appear to be waiting for the other shoe to drop any more, you can feel that each teacher and student is now appreciated and are thriving, The rooms feel homey and comfortable and very clean and everything flows on an even keel now , Mrs. Emily is very hands on with the kids and teachers and Unlike the previous director she is so good with the family's, Thats a huge bonus for us, If you go to her with a question or concern she is right on it !! I am so relieved for the teachers that stayed during the rough times! I HIGHLY recommend this center!!!
