My child Oct 31, 2021
I have used this provider for less than 6 months

This provider uses a paddle on the children this provider has other older children hold down the little ones when they don’t listen. My baby came home with a knot on his eye and she didn’t know how it happened. He also came home with purple eyelids and blood speckles around his eyes She said she had an older child 12 hold down my baby and he’s three so she could change his diaper. I also found out that she left him in a van by himself while she went into buildings to get other children out of school. I would not recommend this child care provider as she puts children in danger and abuses them. I have turned her in and nothing was done.
