ANGRY PARENT Jun 05, 2015
I have used this provider for more than 6 months

This school is very unprofessional, and is veru inconsiderate to parents and there need for help. They will let you know things at the last minute, and will expect you to obey by those things immediatley. They are not very honest, and the staff do not seem to do their job with passion.
