the facility is in a great location but most of the staff seem to favor their own race which us prominently hispanic my daughter is 3 but not fully potty trained and very timid she has come home soiled several times the school director seemed very hostile and dismissive about the incidents not a facility i would recommend i feel sorry for the non hispanic teachers because they seem very concerned about all the children's well being regardless of ethnicity
