The unsafe daycare has done it again!!!please review the complaints! Parents think about if your children is attending this center and started acting different at home! I should saw the sign but I didn't. I should move my children along time ago. It only a matter of time before a child is hurt.
Complaints need to be made against this daycare it shouldn't even be open it an unsafe facility.
Poor communication, poor customer services and rude to parents, not able to handle or manage children with special needs, teachers and kids moved from room to room, no stability and lack routine
My son would come home and say "my teacher is mean...my teacher doesn't like me..." Etc. he would cry every morning and beg not to have to go and he is a very social child that enjoys being with friends and has never complained Like that about any other center. We have removed him from the center.
I would NEVER recommend this facility to anyone EVER
