I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Extremely questionable judgment this center shouldn't be allowed to care for children. We were referred by the director a teacher to watch our children after hours this is a teacher that was employed in the center. Come to find out the director had known this employee had just gotten out of a rehab facility for heroine addiction this wasn't a concern to her. When returning to our home we found baggies in our bathroom which turned out to be heroine and later found several items had been taken. My daughters 24k gold ankle bracelet which on top of being valuable was sentimental was gone and both of my children's piggy banks were emptied. When we reported this to the director her response was "that's f'ed up" professional right. I wouldn't allow this center to care my cactus let alone the most important beings in the world to me my precious babies.
