I would give it zero stars if I could. My children cried every day when I dropped them off -- to the point of hysterics. We finally left the center midway through the summer because one of the teachers said my 6-year-old son was "going to get it" if he didn't "shut up and lay down." The worst part was that when I called to tell the managerial staff about this incident, they not only told the teacher who complained, but gave her my personal phone number and information. The teacher called and said my son was a liar and that she "knew better" than to make threats to the kids at school. It's been two months and I'm still waiting on the reimbursement check from the center for the money I paid for time I didn't use. The manager agreed to give me this money back since I left due to threats being made to my child. Horrible center. Horrible teachers. Crying children left and right EVERY DAY.
