I have used this provider for more than 6 months

The director Sue is rude. When I first toured the preschool she was nice and I felt comfortable once school started she was extremely rude and my daughter would come home with bruises and a huge knot on her head but no one knew how it happened or that it even happened at all. Sue should not be the director they need a new director.
