While this daycare would've been a 3 or 4 possibly a week ago, they are not able to handle issues with the children. If your child bites and is non-verbal then don't bring him here, they will just expel him without notice The women who ran it were great with the exception of the owner. The owner is horrible and took advantage of the manager not being there and expelled my son. She is so callous that she charged the parents for the week of Hurricane Sandy when the daycare was closed all week.

The owner also cites a policy in the handbook while no such policy exists. I would not recomend this daycare to anybody.
