I have used this provider for less than 6 months

The Manager at the center is rude and has a very aggressive personality. She always elevates her voice when communicating and has no “people skills.” The staff rarely speaks or says Good Morning etc., no one ever really smiles. (With the exception of one or two teachers) I feel the owner could have done a better job selecting management, business would be so much better if they took the time to train on professionalism and customer service.

I have toured this provider's facility, but have not used its services

I tried enrolling my daughter into this day care. However the front desk lady Carolyn Burnnette is the most rudest lady ever! I had read a previous comment somewhere where someone else experienced the same rudeness. And it does make you think, if she’s rude to me the parent, I wonder how my child would be treated. When I asked for a tour before signing my daughter up for the slot that was open, she acted like it was such a hassle. My daughter couldnt even tour the facility with me. Crazy.
