I know daycare is scarce in this area but allowing children to repeatedly bite others (more than 10 instances of one child biting just my family member!) Is not acceptable !! They've been reported to DHS multiple times just for this incident! Imagine the instances that no one reported! Please report, because nothing will happen if you dont!

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

The lady who introduced herself to me as the owner was very unprofessional. I witnessed her yelling at another child's parent. I would not recommend this daycare to anyone.
