I did a walk through for this new daycare. I was excited to see if it was a good fit for my child. The director gave me a walkthrough and as we were walking through the daycare my ring fell off without me noticing at the moment. When I did notice, I told her immediately and we were looking for it. When an employee approached to say she found it but another employee claimed it was hers. I was shocked and stated it was mine. How can I trust a place like this with my child. To think the employee could have kept it and said nothing. I don't recommend this place at all.
