I have used this provider for more than 6 months

These people have taken the place as the Child Abuse wing of the democratic party, an uptick of 29 cases and 0 deaths and they have reinstated their own mask "mandates" citing the CDC as the source of the authority to mask our children. However, they left out the part where it was not mandated, and have refused to site any scientific evidence that supported their decisions. Do not put your kids in these child abusers supervision if you actually love your children and want them to be healthy.

Love this place. The people want to be there, they pay attention to and get to know your child. They’re super flexible with food and work to develop your child’s skills while having fun. They do art projects, play outside, practice hygiene and eating skills, and in the summer have water days for the kids. My son loves going, and I have total peace of mind sending him. Can’t recommend this place enough.

I was nervous putting my first child in preschool and worried that he wouldn't be protected. Everything was great the first few months until my child started being bullied. Not just a kid being mean to him. Multiple occasion of this child putting his hands on my child and leaving marks, including drawing blood. Their suggestion to us was to have our child, who was the victim, moved to a different class! Take him away from all his friends and a teacher he adored because he is being bullied? My son became afraid to go to school and hand nightmares concerning this child. We made the decision to move him to a different school do to the school inability to provide a safe environment for my child to learn like their mission statements says!
