Not so happy Nov 12, 2019
I have used this provider for more than 6 months

The employees at this daycare are wonderful. But they cant seem to keep the good workers. The owner Kallie is horrible to her employees and does not communicate with the parents at ALL. Instead she communicates with us parents through her staff and written notes. It is poorly run and very ignorant.
