One star is too many.
Employees who worked hard and wanted to make a positive change were knocked down. The center was run by an evil owner who never once showed her face. Is known for scamming parents and not refunding them of their money. Scams staff of their paychecks if they leave. Has the center run by spoiled and bratty children related to her or close to her? Has a creep that was fired at his last job for inappropriate behavior running the center as well and is easily irritated.
They mistreat every child who needs extra attention. They favor children who are super easygoing and try to tolerate kids who come from money.
Hygiene is bad. They allow kids to go to bed with food all over their faces. They send kids home dirty daily. They make false reports about children being sick to send them home. They have put wet dishes away (they never have heard of mold apparently )
I've seen dirty dishes plenty of times.
Snacks have been moldy A LOT.
Plenty plenty plenty of times has a knife been put in a dirty bin or on the counter for any child to grab.
They expect children to be like robots. No structure and can't keep staff for how the place is run. They will call children bad to their faces. Heard a staff member tell a child they don't accept retards here. Another employee smokes in the bathroom all the time and the owner was addressed about it to comment on it not being anyone's problem. It's not affecting her work. Kids being snatched up by the wrists. Yes. Even infants.
I could go on for days. If you love your children you will find elsewhere for them to go. If you want to stay sane do not work there!

Little Friends was disorganized and caused our son to acquire a high grade fever by only one day of staying at the facility. They took money without offering services. Poor facility and with so many options this should be the one place to stay away from.
