I have used this provider for less than 6 months
This place was horrendous. My children would come home dirty, as if there was NO playground supervision. Some of the teachers are lazy, would never engage the children and I would describe the classrooms as a "free-for-all" at best. My child had multiple accidents that could have easily been avoided with some minor, adult intervention. One of the teachers actually threw toys at one of the children! Please do not waste your time or money with this corporation. I regret that I ever did.

I would like to say thank you to all the staff at the childcare network off of sardis road in asheville. I enrolled my child in 2009 and my child has grown greatly. Dont get me wrong their are a few things that i was concerned about, however the staff and directors are professional and willing to make the positive corrections to maintain a successful atmosphere.
