Summer camp is terrible! 2017-06-18 23:13:52
I have used this provider for more than 6 months

They care about their name and money and don't understand if your child is different. The kids in summer camp is all together from 5 till 12 years in one room, so you could see and my child told me how they roasted him. The teacher have no experience and out of high school, show favoritism to the kids she likes. The director refused to take my child on a field trip, even I paid as any other parent for registration and weekly more than 200 dollars. Terrible environment, nice teachers quit or get fired. I am glad I am taking our son out .
