The workers don’t have patience for kids that are behind and need extra help. They rather get angry or keep them with the infants rather than the bigger kids so they can actually learn. Sad really need to get workers that actually care about children’s well being.
Children are not being cared for correctly or being watched more employees should be hired to be able to monitor all children in facility because from what I saw some of the babies that can crawl are out in hallways while sitters are in room
