They were rude on the phone, refused to put me on the waiting list. My children are going to a better daycare at the University.

I have toured this provider's facility, but have not used its services

I toured this facility several years ago because I was told there was an opening for my preschooler. The director asked several questions about where my husband and I lived, worked, etc. and about mutual acquaintances of parents whose children already attended. I didn't tell the director that I was a single mother because a former employee had already told me that this was viewed unfavorably, so I shouldn't mention it. I left the facility excited for my son to start there, but got a call a few days later saying the opening had been filled; apparently the director found out my marital status and changed her mind. I talked to another (married) friend who's son of the same age was accepted just a few weeks later. Totally discriminatory and unprofessional practices and would not recommend this place to anyone.
