Excellent childcare center, always super clean and the teachers are compassionate about what they do. My kids love going there and I never have to worry about them!!
The director and a rude, racist, and ignorant woman ... treated me like trash in front of my 4-year-old daughter
I also have a print of messages from a teacher saying someone was assaulting one of the children..
