This daycare is disgusting, poorly managed, and irresponsibly staffed. They asked me to pit my infant child on TOP of a table in a rocking child seat with a large group of small children around her and when I asked if it was sage they shrugged their shoulders at me. The quality of care and cleanliness at this place isn't even good enough for a dog.
The staff are excellent and very accomodating to a parents schedule change and childs dietary changes. This center has stability with staff and no turn over while my child has been attending. The staff work with children in all areas and are very patient with potty training. My child has been very happy while attending and I have had no complaints or issues with the center.
