I have used this provider for less than 6 months

I would give zero stars if I could. The owner should not work with the public, let alone children. She is extremely disrespectful to parents, not caring and basically looks at you like you are dirt. There isn’t enough room for me to even begin to explain how disorganized this “facility” is ran. The K teacher is great with kids, awful social skills with parents. Doesn’t say hello, doesn’t acknowledge you- it’s bizarre. After an extremely unprofessional incident with Ellie (owner) and the k teacher (her daughter), I removed my child immediately. Teacher was emailed about how upset I was- still hasn’t been acknowledged. No apology. Nothing. I wouldn’t send an animal to that place. It’s old, outdated and if purple crayon didn’t have a waiting list it wouldn’t even be open. My child is going back to English Creek Academy. I wish I never took him out.
