I have used this provider for less than 6 months

This was one of the worse facilities I have ever gone to. The staff come and go there and you have no clue who you will be dealing with as far as any concerns with your child. The staff is very inattentive to the kids. I walked in and found toys and misc. wrappers and paper strewn across my sons daycare room on many occasions with kids going everywhere. There were even kids standing on the tables, arguing, hitting other kids while the staff leaned against the wall and did nothing. It was beyond bad. The staff doesnt pay close attention to the kids and will demand your child home if they need to do anything beyond sit there with them. They are inconsistent with behavior plans, their staff, and how they handle their company. I would recommend looking elsewhere unless you enjoy snotty staff that doesnt do much. There is no structure yet they pride themselves on saying they do. They also will state how they do not get aggressive with kids but I caught them pulling my childs arm and screaming in my childs ear when they didnt realize I was in the facility. They will also talk with you about other peoples children as they did with me. I had my kid out of there ASAP. Now enrolled in KinderCare which is great place is comparison. Just keep looking....trust me! The like to decorate their building to look all great but when you get to the rooms, you can tell the money stopped at the halls. Annas daughters help run it, but they seem more proud of their names and titles then what they are actually supposed to be doing. ITS A CIRCUS!!!
