★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Wouldn't recommend this childcare for staff or for children. The staff swear infront of the children. The director danielle likes to bully her staff and when you leave she likes to message your personal number and call you names. Not only is this environment very toxic The owner and the director like to harass and bully former employees and let their current staff do the safe. This is not the environment i would want any child in.
