I have used this provider for less than 6 months
DO NOT, & I'm Mean DO NOT allow your children to go here. The owner Felicia is a money hungry and a straight bully. There's no doubt since she's had a daycare for 20 years that she's done the same thing to other families. I was continually harassed over accepting days that she did NOT watch my son for nor was he even enrolled in. Because I did not accept those days she charge me a co pay of 25 a week. Her staff were EXTREMELY rude just like her. Cussing and giving unnecessary attitudes towards me. The harassment became so much that I had to start recording conversations because I knew she would kick my son out for not giving her free money from the government that I had to look for a new daycar3 before she did. Thank God I did take that action because that is exactly what she did. Kicked my son out and tried to act innocent and make up lies about how she told me this and that. Text messages and recordings don't lie...DO NOT PLACE YOUR CHILD HERE unless you want to be harassed and bullied for money. Shame on her
