I have used this provider for less than 6 months

This daycare is horrible! Stop by on your lunch and you will find no one supervising the baby room (or they will follow you into the room). Bring it up to the owner and she will deny it to your face and gaslight you. Further, when you let them know you will remove your child they will retaliate (with a blanket wrapped around my child's head). Then continue to gaslight you. Unfortunately DSS has done nothing to help protect children and I wouldn't be surprised if these practices are ongoing. Please do not let your children attend this daycare, it should really be closed down.
