If I could give this place 0 stars I would. WORST place to send your kids!! The staff is extremely unprofessional and do not care at all about the kids. This place hires unexperienced people with disgusting attitudes. Its obvious that those hired are only hired because they attend the church. You can't even complain to the director because they're related to the bishop. This just shows that nobody is qualified to run this facility.

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

No curriculum at all. The teachers where not friendly always yelling especially purple. I wouldn't recommend especially for the price. Not worth it
