Couldn't agree with both comments more.... Very unprofessional director /co-owner Mr Roy who now claimsnot to have had anything to do with the center.... Staff is still owed thousands of dollars in unpiad wages.... Very sad
The daycare closed on 3/15/2013 and gave parents 6 hours notification to find a new daycare. The owners were deceitful in making parents think they ran a good center. They neglected to pick my son up from school that last day and he was left sittting in the main office on a Friday afternoon. Shame on them! They shouldn't be allowed to work with children.
great staff however stay away due tovdirector not being able to pay staff and yells at the children very unprofessional managment some staff have been paid with over 1000 dollars in bad checks
