I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I am not sure of the comment post above, but my child has been attending this child care facility since she was 6 weeks old, she is now 3. I love the staff and the owner they provide dinner for the children so I am lucky enough to sometimes only have to cook for myself. All of the classrooms have age appropriate toys and furniture. In past 3 months they have hired new staff and they are AMAZING!! I would highly recommend this facility!

This place is truly a mess. I went in the center for a tour and whoever was giving the tour seemed like they could not even speak correctly. The only word I can use to describe this daycare is ghetto. As I was on my tour, I happen to peek into a few classrooms. What I saw was astonishing. The teachers hit the children when they do not listen. They yell and scream so loud at these young children that it literally made me want to cry. If your child is enrolled here I highly recommend you get them out because when I walked out of those doors all I could think to myself was wow I will never put my child in this facility. The staff seemed so unprofessional and the center looked so outdated and It smelled like mold. The playground was truly a disaster. The toys looked like they were from the 90s maybe even the 80s. Stay away!!!!!
