I was driving by yesterday and I saw the owner of the daycare and her younger daughter outside harassing and cursing out they’re neighbors. In the middle of the street trying to fight two younger girls yelling, cursing it got to the point where 5 police cars were outside of her house for harassment. I would give this daycare 0 stars if I could. I live in the neighborhood and saw what was going on and that is very unprofessional being that she owns a business and are supposed to love her neighbor. Do not bring your child in harms way
