The staff at this location can be rude I’ve witnessed toddlers unattended I’ve been at the front waiting to do a tour and heard staff talking to children in a rude manner it can definitely be a lot more cleaner I’ve seen a teacher outside smoking but it suppose to be a smoke free zone think twice about this location for sure because there’s teachers there that cannot be trusted and I’m sure the cameras are there for decor they do not treat these kids with respect these people are rude and the daycare is old and run down.
