The staff was friendly and was the managment. The inly issue I had was I payed cash and I foolishly didnt always take a reciept. I wS told I had fallen behind a pretty large amount, I was to pay an extra amount on top of my weekly payment, it should have taken a little over a month to pay off ( if I didnt pay the extra along with my weekly payment or vise versa my child was unable to attend) well needless to say 3 months later I questioned the managment about the amount still owed, when I received the amount I was shocked, it was as if I didnt pay anything. I couldnt believe it. I talked to someone else who had a similar experience. I left the day care for I felt they were syealing my.money. A shame really because my children enjoyed going
