My daughter had an altercation with one of the other children
The little boy kept scratching my daughter and hitting her and when I asked to daycare provider about the situation she told me there was nothing she can do about the situation
I would not prefer anyone to bring there child there as a daycare provider if you do not have your kids under control then you should not be a daycare owner.
