I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I am extremely dissatisfied with Bustleton Learning Center, and I strongly advise against choosing it for your child. They offered substandard food, unhealthily choices, suffer from a very poor child-staff ratio, disregard parent’s feedback, exhibit impolite and dismissive behavior, and waste time on their phones. They fail to create a safe, healthy, or stimulating environment for the children, and they show no respect or appreciation for their customers.

Ps. Isis Clark is the assistant director of the daycare, the positive reviews in here is arbitrary and false, beware!
