When I dropped my child off at this center. The halls are always crowd with stuff. My child sometimes trips over items that are I. The hall trying to get to his class. My son is in the three year old class and tells me that he saw the teacher push a child!!!!! The Director is always in the class and never lets the teacher do their child!!!! The Director talk bad about the teachers and the cooking staff!!!! The Director is very unprofessional!!!!
This center is amazing. The teachers are well educated and it's obvious they have the children's best interests at heart. The owner is always in a room not because it is understaffed but because she also genuinely loves being near and working with children.
I have two children enrolled and one which attended until he started school. This is the only center I would ever entrust my children to. It's not all glamour, but I would rather my children enjoy each day than to be told not to scuff the walls. If there's an opening, you better grab it!!
