She is awesome. Loves your child and gives excellent care. I would recommend to anyone
This provider talks about children and families to children and adults. She closes frequently (2 or more days a month)!!! She charges you for all days she is closed. She provides meals. Everything is frozen and consists of eggs, fish sticks, pizza, grilled cheese, pancakes, chicken nuggets etc. she uses high chairs to restrain kids in timeout and changes her rates and daycare calendar dependent on the family. i would not recommend this daycare and my child will not return!
