I have used this provider for more than 6 months

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT ENROLL YOUR KIDS AT ACA!!! MY SON WENT THERE AND IT WAS THE WORST MISTAKE EVER!! I HAVE MY PERSONAL ISSUES AND DEALINGS WITH THE HORRIBLE MANAGRMENT AND OWNER OF THE FACILITY !!!!! I HAVE SPOKEN WITH DCF ON MANY OCCASIONS. MY SON IS NOW THRIVING IN A MUCH BETTER DAYCARE.THIS IS ATTROCIOUS OUR CHILDREN ARE IN THESE CONDITIONS. THEIR FREQUENT TEACHER TURN AROUND IS ALARMING ENOUGH. (BY THE WAY I WAS TOLD BY THE OWNER THAT HIGH TEACHER TURNOVER WAS NORMAL IN THIS LINE OF WORK) WHICH IS FALSE. AMOUNG MANY OTHER ALARMING ISSUES. IVE BEEN TOLD ITS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. HOW THIS IS THIS PLACE STILL IN BUSINESS IS WAY BEYOND ME.
