Very disappointed. I am in a homeless shelter and a lot of kids from the shelter go there. The moment my daughter started to speak a bit more clearly, she gave me a real insight of this daycare. Her grandson was innapropriate with my daughter. When I brouhgt it up, they made me feel bad because I live in the shelter without aknowledging the bad behavior of her grandson. I remove my daughter. This broke my heart.
Victoria is truly amazing with my little girl! - She has been with Victoria since she was 5 months and Victoria has taken care of her like her own granddaughter. She is wonderful with her and me. She is loving and so caring- She teaches the kids great things and she is super clean! My girl is now 2 1/2 and I couldn't be happier with her service.
She is amazing with kids, my children love her so much and cannot get enough of Ms Victoria, she's a sweet heart and is probably the best child care provider in New York City!
