While you read the negative comments, please ask yourself, did this person, Alyssa, comment because of ongoing legal issues unassociated with the Child Day Care. This daycare has no history of child neglect or any violations about children or care of children. Thank you for the comments persons @ 106, 340, and 362. We continue to see your negativity and pray that you're answered soon.
