BEWARE of this daycare. The director is more like a dictator then a teacher. The staff are super incompetent about conflict resolution and when issues arise with kids. If you want your child(ren) to feel intimidated/embarrassed then this is the place. Compassion is thrown out the window and the realization that kids are only kids is overlooked. The director has been seen taking a child in the bathroom to spank him because he didn’t want to take a nap. Like I said BEWARE of this place at all cost. Take your kid(s) somewhere else where they can be safe.
